Singapore’s first CBD-based coworking space, Collective Works, has announced a joint venture with Asian property giant CapitaLand. The two companies will launch a coworking space at Level 12 of the 52-storey Capital Tower in Singapore’s business district that can accommodate up to 250 businesses over 22,000 sq ft.

Jonathan O’Byrne, founder of Collective Works, which offers business centre services with the heart and portability of a coworking space, has observed an exponential surge in demand from entrepreneurs seeking more personal business solutions across Asia. “Our partnership galvanises Collective Works’ position as the market leader in premium coworking spaces and will set the pace for our future growth," he said. “Our new space, centrally located in Singapore’s world renowned business district, creates a unique ecosystem for our clients within the prestigious Capital Tower where they can flourish alongside other entrepreneurs as well as global MNCs."

The 50:50 joint venture, Collective Works at Capital Tower, has seen strong pre-registration. Designed by expert interior architect, Contrast Design Pte Ltd, the radical office design offers tailored solutions for the diverse profiles of today’s high performance business executives, whether they need a quiet, secure meeting room, a vibrant brainstorm space or the use of an integrated media space.

Wen Khai Meng, CEO of CapitaLand Singapore, said: “With Capital Tower’s central location, connectivity to public transport, proximity to clients and partners, premium Grade A specifications and lifestyle amenities, we are confident that the coworking space at this premium building will appeal to a range of fast-growing businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers seeking to rent fully functional, fitted-out office spaces under flexible lease terms. Through thoughtful planning and creative design, members of the Capital Tower coworking space will have access to high quality, high-energy environments that are customisable to specific needs and conducive for networking, exchange of ideas, resource-sharing and collaboration. We foresee demand coming from sectors such as fintech, social media, technology, insurance, corporate training and venture capital investment.”

Collective Works has become known for its innovative design aesthetic and ergonomic approach. Technological support includes secure on-site server hosting, videoconferencing, IP telephony and redundant fibreoptic broadband with superior attention to ambience, lighting and acoustic sound profiling to enhance productivity and concentration in the bespoke offices.
