The business world has changed so much in the last couple of decades. With new industries opening up and with technology in the palm of one’s hand, it has become more achievable for individuals to open small businesses—and from anywhere, at that. If you are someone who’s on a mission to feed your entrepreneurial spirit and who also happens to be on the lookout to buy a condominium in Cebu, then BLOQ Residences couldn’t get any more perfect for you!

Developed by RFK Holdings Inc., BLOQ Residences uniquely offers modern-designed condos, including loft-type units, which can be spectacularly transformed into a SOHO space. This makes our developments one-of-a-kind as not a lot of developers offer homeowners the flexibility to create a dedicated work or business space in their unit, complete with high ceilings and spacious living areas.

What is SOHO?

Small Office Home Office or SOHO was coined to refer to small businesses that operate from home and thus creating a work-home environment. A SOHO business is usually privately owned and operated by individuals who are self-employed. It can be a photographer or make-up artist building a studio, a law practitioner or a finance consultant holding office at home. It can simply be anybody. 

BLOQ is a well-thought-out project with young entrepreneurs in mind, offering them a home and modern workspace in one. Our loft condo units provide a 24-square-meter space at an affordable price. Each one features a living area that can be used as a workspace, fitted-out bathroom, and kitchen countertop located in the lower loft; while the upper loft can be used as a private area. 

Advantages of SOHO Living

The concept of SOHO living allows you to work where you stay, which means it comes with a number of perks. At BLOQ Residences, you get to experience the thrill of working at home: 

  • Less Commuting

Let’s face it. Dealing with traffic isn’t such a great way to start any day. With SOHO living, you get to skip the long drive or the arduous catching-the-bus routine to get to work because, lo and behold, your office is literally steps away from your bed. That’s a lot of time and sanity saved, don’t you think?

  • Reduced Distraction and Stress

Would you rather work in a cubicle where your view is the cubicle paneling, or in a beautiful loft where you can feel the comfort of home? Being focused and getting more work done rely on your environment, and how the surrounding makes you feel. Working in a space designed for you brings less distraction and more productivity, and can remarkably reduce your stress level. 

  • More Personal Time, More Flexibility

Work-life balance doesn’t come so handy these days. With a SOHO lifestyle, you get more control when it comes to your daily work schedule or taking days off. You get to be your own boss! This gives you more time for family or personal recreation, which can tremendously benefit your mental well-being. 

  • More Savings

Setting up a SOHO space that can function well for work and accommodating clients may seem costly, but you actually get to save more money in the long run. Instead of renting two different spaces, you get to have both a home and an office with a single monthly spend. Not having to commute or do business at a coffee shop or restaurant can also be wallet-friendly. When you buy a condo, you are already investing; so when you make that property a place to potentially earn money, then you are certainly doing yourself a huge favor.
