SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Home-grown co-working operator JustCo will open a 60,000 sq ft co-working space at The Centrepoint in Singapore in 3Q2020. This will be its second co-working centre in a Singapore retail mall after it opened a centre at Marina Square in 2018.

The new centre will be JustCo’s 19th location here and will span three floors. The mall is managed by Frasers Property, which along with sovereign wealth fund GIC, invested US$177 million into the co-working company in May 2018.

The new space will also be JustCo’s first ‘smart’ co-working centre in Singapore, and will feature a robot butler, cardless access with facial recognition capability, and a digital wayfinder. It will pilot JustCo’s "pay per minute" concept, where members of the public can walk in and use some of the flexible workspaces and amenities, such as the hot-desking area, lounge, seminar rooms, meeting rooms, and phone booths. They will pay for the services they use through the JustCo mobile application.

JustCo CEO, Kong Wan Sing, says: “This year, our focus will be to deepen our technological capabilities to create smart, digital workplaces that will serve JustCo members across our network more seamlessly and efficiently.”

JustCo also plans to open its fourth centre in Bangkok in 3Q2020, at Amarin Plaza in the prime Ratchaprasong district. The 43,056 sq ft centre will be able to host 1,000 members and is directly accessible through the Chit Lom BTS, a mixed-use retail and office building.
