Local co-working operator JustCo has secured a new space in Singapore at Manulife Centre. Occupying more than 50,000 sq ft across two floors, the space is targeted to open next quarter. It is expected to house more than 1,000 people.
The new location, in Bras Basah’s art and heritage district, will feature a hot-desking area, product showcase corner, a games area, a wellness room, and a break-out space. It will also have a pantry area, phone booths, quiet pods, and a nursing room. An event space for 180 people and a multi-purpose room for up to 50 people will also be found there.

The new opening will bring JustCo’s portfolio to 33 centres across eight cities in Asia -- Singapore, Bangkok, Shanghai, Jakarta, Seoul, Sydney, Melbourne, and Taipei. Other JustCo spaces opening in 4Q2019 include China Square Central in Singapore, Samyan Mitrtown in Thailand, and Dian Shih in Taiwan.
“The positive response from our existing and new members, many of whom are fast-growing companies, has allowed us to grow much faster than we planned. By the end of 2019, we expect to have more than 50 centre locations spanning across more than two million sq ft,” says Kong Wan Sing, founder and CEO of JustCo.
The new locaton will feature a break out area and pantry (pictured), as well as a nursing room.
This planned expansion will more than double the company’s network of locations from a year ago. JustCo’s continued expansion in Asia and leverage of workplace technologies will bring greater value to its regional community, he says.
