The team has taken up an additional 7,200 sqft from the existing 34,000 sqft.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A remarkable achievement as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalnewsasia.com\/startups\/worq-partners-pelaburan-hartanah-reach-100-occupancy-menara-1-sentrum\">WORQ\u2019s metric to achieve full occupancy for their new locations has improved drastically to just two months after launch<\/a> \u2014 the industry average for achieving full occupancy is 12 months. The new space is leased by Datacom Systems and WithSecure, a New Zealand-based IT service company and a Helsinki-based IT security company respectively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The space is located in a green building, contributing to environmental sustainability, and also cultivates a more vibrant community on-site, leading to higher levels of interaction amongst tenants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Co-founder &amp; CEO of the 500-backed co-working space, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/spingklworq\/\">Stephanie Ping<\/a>, shared, \u201cAll of our locations are at transit-oriented developments. With this outlet being the biggest now, surpassing the rest, it has become the connecting hub for all our other locations in the Klang Valley.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhen we place our outlets near train stations, the users&#8217; incentive to use trains to commute will jump threefold. This way, we can get more cars off the roads. That\u2019s our plan moving forward and we hope to build a culture for Malaysia just like in other countries such as Japan, where they start to exercise this muscle of using public transportation to commute to work or any other locations,\u201d she revealed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stephanie added that the company plans to open three new outlets and expand two existing ones this year. WORQ\u2019s longer-term goal is to occupy 450,000 sq ft of co-working space by 2025 and 1 million sq ft by 2028 across Malaysia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3HLfeEg\">The Edge<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A green opening<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4804,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[389],"class_list":["post-4803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-worq"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
