Unlike typical commercial offices in the Philippines, tenants or locators of the McKinley Exchange Corporate Center are required to regularly update the Makati government with a list of their labor requirements, so they can hire and prioritize qualified city residents. Tenants are also required to provide a list of training schools or centers that can teach disqualified candidates so they can be reconsidered for employment.[5]

Building specifications

McKinley Exchange Corporate Center is a Grade A building that has a 2,800 m² (30,000 sq ft) floor plate to accommodate BPO and multinational company space requirements.[1] It is also certified by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). It has five floors and a gross leasable area of 11,465 m² (123,410 sq ft).[4] It currently houses a branch of Telus International Philippines.

Transportation

Bonifacio Transport Corporation has established a terminal at this building for its bus service (called the BGC Bus) along McKinley Road to provide access to different points in Bonifacio Global City and in Makati Central Business District.

A few meters from the McKinley Exchange Corporate Center lie the Ayala MRT station, where passengers can take the MRT-3, and the One Ayala complex, where passengers can take point-to-point (P2P) buses. Passengers may also board the EDSA Carousel at the curbside, particularly beside the building for northbound and beneath the MRT station, alongside other city buses, for southbound.

Passengers can also board a jeepney bound for Washington Street in Barangay Pio del Pilar via Ayala Avenue behind the building. Jeepneys bound for Market! Market! can also be found at its terminal across McKinley Road.[6] Taxis and shuttles also load and unload passengers at the building's driveway.
