Commercial Space for Rent Quezon City: Rates by Area (2026)

Commercial space for rent Quezon City tenants can actually find ranges from a four square meter food stall near a college for ₱5,500 (about $88 / €77) a month to a 500 square meter office and warehouse in Fairview for ₱160,000 (about $2,550 / €2,240), and the price per square meter in between depends far more on the street than on the size. Quezon City is the largest city in the country by population and area, with no single business district, so its commercial market is a set of corridors, each with its own tenants, rents and traffic. This guide puts the asking rents from our listings on those corridors, explains what a small business gets for the money, and compares the street level option with a mall stall.

The numbers, corridor by corridor

Our listing price sample for Quezon City holds sixteen commercial and office spaces for rent, with a median asking rent of ₱54,750 (about $873 / €768), a median size of about 80 square meters and a median rate of about ₱786 (about $13 / €11) per square meter a month, each median taken on its own. The spread inside that median is the useful part.

At the small end, food stalls of 4 to 10 square meters near Bestlink College in Novaliches list at ₱5,500 to ₱6,500 (about $88 to $104 / €77 to €91) a month, and a 9 square meter space on Commonwealth Avenue at ₱12,000 (about $191 / €168). These are the cheapest commercial addresses in the metro that still carry foot traffic, priced for a food cart or a service counter rather than a store.

In the middle, the neighborhood retail strips: a space on Dahlia Avenue in West Fairview at ₱25,000 (about $398 / €350), a 35 square meter second floor unit on Kamias Road at ₱35,000 (about $558 / €491) (₱1,000 (about $16 / €14) per square meter), a 50 square meter ground floor in Cubao at ₱40,000 (about $637 / €561) (₱800 (about $13 / €11)), and two spaces on Banawe Street, the auto parts and restaurant corridor, at ₱45,000 (about $717 / €631) for 120 square meters and ₱85,000 (about $1,350 / €1,190) for 110 square meters, or ₱375 to ₱773 (about $6 to $12 / €5.3 to €11) per square meter depending on frontage and floor.

At the top, the addresses businesses pay for: 43 square meters on Scout Tuazon in the Tomas Morato dining district at ₱64,500 (about $1,030 / €904), the highest rate in the sample at ₱1,500 (about $24 / €21) per square meter, and 130 square meters on Congressional Avenue at ₱120,000 (about $1,910 / €1,680) (₱923 (about $15 / €13)). Large floors are cheap per square meter: 336 square meters at 999 Aurora Boulevard at ₱78,000 (about $1,240 / €1,090) (₱232 (about $3.7 / €3.3)), a 432 square meter office floor on Kalayaan Avenue at ₱120,000 (about $1,910 / €1,680) (₱278 (about $4.4 / €3.9)), and the 500 square meter office and warehouse in Fairview at ₱160,000 (about $2,550 / €2,240) (₱320 (about $5.1 / €4.5)).

For buyers rather than tenants, the sample lists a 47 square meter medical office at Activa Flex in Cubao at ₱12.2 million (about $194,000 / €171,000), a 289 square meter commercial lot in Cubao at ₱32 million (about $510,000 / €449,000), about ₱110,000 (about $1,750 / €1,540) per square meter of land, and a three storey commercial building with basement and roof deck in Zabarte at ₱67.5 million (about $1.08 million / €946,000).

Which corridor for which business

Tomas Morato and the Scout area are the city's restaurant and bar district, where a small frontage costs ₱1,500 (about $24 / €21) per square meter because the evening crowd pays for it; the tenants are cafes, bars, clinics and salons that live on walk in traffic. Cubao, around the Araneta interchange of the two rail lines, is the retail and transit hub, with ground floor rents near ₱800 (about $13 / €11) per square meter and the widest range of customers in the city. Banawe is the specialist strip, where auto parts shops and Chinese restaurants cluster because their customers come to the street on purpose, and where the rent per square meter is half of Morato's.

Commonwealth and Fairview serve the residential north, hundreds of thousands of households along a single avenue, at rents from ₱12,000 (about $191 / €168) for a counter to ₱25,000 (about $398 / €350) for a neighborhood shop; the tenants are pharmacies, laundries, food and hardware. Novaliches and the college belt around Bestlink price food stalls for the student lunch trade. Kamias, Kalayaan and Aurora Boulevard are the office corridors for firms that need floor space near the Cubao and Katipunan transport nodes without paying business district rents. Our guide to the best neighborhoods in Quezon City describes who lives along each of them, which is another way of saying who your customers are.

Street level or a mall

The alternative to any of these corridors is a unit or a kiosk in one of the city's malls, and the comparison is not about the rent alone. A mall charges a base rent plus a share of sales, a service charge per square meter for air conditioning and security, a marketing fund and a deposit of several months, and in return delivers the foot traffic you would otherwise have to build; our guide to renting space in a mall sets out the structure. A street space on Banawe or Kamias at ₱375 to ₱1,000 (about $6 to $16 / €5.3 to €14) per square meter comes without those charges and without the traffic, which suits businesses that customers seek out: clinics, repair shops, offices, delivery kitchens, specialist retail.

Many Quezon City operators end up with both, a kitchen or a workshop on a side street and a small counter in the mall as the shop window.

What to check before signing

Zoning first: a residential street off Kamias or Banawe may not allow the use you have in mind, and the barangay and the city business permits office will tell you before the landlord does. Then the physical basics that decide whether a space can trade: three phase power for kitchens and workshops, water and a grease trap for food, ceiling height, a fire exit and the fire safety inspection certificate, parking or at least a loading spot, and the flood history of the block, which in Quezon City varies within a few hundred meters and can be checked on the government hazard maps as in our flood check guide.

The lease is the last check and the one that costs the most when skipped. Commercial leases in the Philippines are governed by the contract far more than by law: the term, the annual escalation, who pays the real property tax and the association dues, the fit out period, what happens to your improvements at the end, and the conditions for early termination all need to be written. Our notes on what a lease agreement should include apply to commercial space with those additions, and the wider view of buying or leasing business premises is in our commercial property guide. If the business needs storage behind the shop, our guide to warehouses and industrial property covers the north Quezon City and Bulacan stock.

Current spaces are on the commercial listings page, and the city's full stock, residential and commercial, on the Quezon City listings page.

Which Quezon City area is best for a restaurant or cafe?

Tomas Morato and the Scout area, the city's dining and bar district, where a 43 square meter frontage on Scout Tuazon lists at ₱64,500 (about $1,030 / €904) a month, about ₱1,500 (about $24 / €21) per square meter, the highest rate in our sample because the evening crowd pays for it.

Is a mall stall cheaper than a street space in Quezon City?

Rarely, once everything is counted. A mall adds a percentage of sales, a service charge per square meter, a marketing fund and a deposit of two to six months on top of the base rent, in exchange for foot traffic. A street space on Banawe or Kamias at ₱375 to ₱1,000 (about $6 to $16 / €5.3 to €14) per square meter has none of those charges and none of the traffic, which suits businesses customers seek out on purpose.

What should I check before renting commercial space in Quezon City?

Zoning and the business permit for your use, three phase power, water and a grease trap for food, ceiling height, a fire exit and fire safety certificate, parking or a loading spot, and the flood history of the block. Then the lease: term, annual escalation, who pays real property tax and dues, the fit out period, ownership of improvements at the end and the early termination terms.
