Special Feature - Co-working Space

The traditional perception is that co-working space is targeted at new start-ups with a staff strength of 2 - 4 people, or millennials working on flexible hours looking to work alongside like-minded people, or multinational companies who had special projects for 6 months and didn’t want to commit to standard 3 year leases.

Well, that much is true but it does seem the co-working concept is gaining traction with larger conventional office space users for a variety of reasons. In some cases the difference between serviced offices and self-contained co-working space is quite blurred.

Examples of larger companies moving into this kind of space include Indeed Singapore who leased a whole floor at Beach Centre through WeWork, US design firm Wilson Associates leased 10,000 sq ft with JustCo in Marina Square, and Walton International took significant space in Manulife Tower through WeWork.

Average cost of a hot desk: $400 - $500 per month
Average cost of a dedicated desk: $700 - $950 per month
Typical lease term: 12-24 months
