A support team that works nights needs more than a door that opens at 2 a.m. The building has to keep power and cooling running overnight, security has to cover the floor, and your people have to be able to get there. This guide lists which Filinvest City buildings publish round-the-clock credentials, what each source says, and what to verify before you commit. It covers buildings in Northgate Cyberzone and nearby, where our verified information sits.
A workstation is one seat with a desk, chair and computer setup. kVA is a measure of electrical load. N+1 means one spare generator beyond the number needed to carry the load.
What "24/7" should mean in writing
Ask each landlord or operator to confirm three things in the agreement, not only in marketing copy:
- Access. Your floor, the lifts, the lobby and the parking are open to your staff at all hours, with no after-hours fee for entry.
- Operation. Power, internet and cooling run through the night at the service level you need, and you know the charge for each.
- Support. Security, facilities and IT support are staffed during your shifts.
What the sources say about each building
| Building | What is published about round-the-clock use | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Filinvest Axis Tower 1 (Northgate Cyberzone) | Filinvest Land describes the Axis towers as LEED Gold-certified, PEZA-registered and built for 24/7 operations, with N+1 redundancy using three 1,800 kVA generators, chilled water from the district cooling system, and provision for four telecom providers. Colliers lists the tower as capable of 24/7 operations with 100% backup power, a typical floor plate of 2,070 sqm, a parking ratio of 1 per 75 sqm of net usable area, and carriers PLDT, Converge and Radius | Filinvest Land; Colliers |
| KMC floors at Filinvest Axis Tower 1 (24th and 26th floors) | KMC lists 719 private office workstations, 24/7 IT support and facility access, and 4,612 sqm of KMC-managed area. Its own blog describes round-the-clock surveillance, access control and biometric entry | KMC property page and blog; Workthere listing |
| Filinvest One (Northgate Cyberzone) | Filinvest Land lists 100% backup power, VRF air conditioning, 24/7 CCTV and security monitoring, multiple major telecom providers and PEZA accreditation. It also lists a standby mobile generator of 1,400 kVA that it says can provide 48 hours of backup power to Northgate buildings | Filinvest Land |
| Regus at Filinvest One (9th floor) | PEZA-registered building. The largest private office holds 20 people, so a team of 100 or more would need a custom arrangement. We have not verified its access hours | workin.space listing; Regus |
| KMC floors at One Griffinstone (9th and 10th floors) | KMC lists 488 private office workstations and describes the building as LEED-certified and PEZA-accredited. A directory listing shows 24-hour access. The same KMC pages also describe a 272-seater | KMC pages; Coworker listing |
Where two sources disagree, for example four telecom providers against three named carriers at Axis Tower 1, ask the landlord for the current list in writing.
Cooling is where 24/7 plans usually break
Some buildings run cooling on a schedule, and after-hours cooling can mean a separate charge or a request process. Filinvest Land states that Axis Tower One uses chilled water from a district cooling system, and that Filinvest One has VRF air conditioning. Ask for each building, and for your floor:
- Is cooling available all night, and in which zones?
- What is the after-hours charge, and how is it metered?
- What happens to cooling during a generator run?
Power
- Does the generator cover your floor's lighting, outlets and air conditioning, or only common areas?
- How many hours can the building run on stored fuel at full load, and who refills it?
- How long does the switch from grid to generator take, and what UPS (battery backup) do you need to bridge it?
- If the building relies on a shared mobile generator, what does it cover and for how long?
Getting there and staying safe at night
- What public transport and shuttles run at your shift start and end times? South Station is part of Filinvest City per Wikipedia. Check which routes your staff would use at night.
- How many car and motorcycle bays come with your space, and is the parking area open 24 hours? Axis Tower 1 lists a parking ratio of 1 per 75 sqm of net usable area, so at 100 seats that is a figure to compare with your own commuting split.
- How long is the lift wait at shift change? Time it on a viewing.
- What food and convenience options are open at night? Check on site, because we could not verify specific shops.
- How is the building secured after hours, and how are late arrivals and departures logged?
What to confirm before you shortlist
- The access terms and after-hours charges in the agreement.
- PEZA accreditation of the building and the specific floors if you need it.
- The seat fee, what it includes, VAT, deposit and exit terms.
- Seats free on a contiguous floor now, with a date.
