NEW WORKSPACE TRENDS: COWORKING KUALA LUMPUR

Coworking spaces refer to flexible workspaces with an open-layout that is fully-furnished made up of hot desks, dedicated desks, and booths. For companies that have outgrown the open desks, coworking spaces also provide small-cut private offices. As a result, there is often little difference between a coworking space and a serviced office in terms of what they have to offer. 

Creating a more productive environment with a collaborative community made up of individuals who work for themselves, start-ups, and larger companies, coworking spaces are the ideal alternative to coffee shops. Here, members pay an all-inclusive rent based on the number of desks they need on a daily or monthly basis, with all utilities shared amongst the other members.

Renting a coworking space in Kuala Lumpur has several benefits. For individuals, a coworking space offers a productive environment to truly focus on work and meet other people you can partner with or learn from. If you’re just starting out, a coworking space will help give your business a professional image and a space where you can bring in clients or investors, such as in Bukit Bintang, KLCC, Mid Valley, and Mont Kiara.

For start-ups and companies, a coworking space offers the perfect environment to test out new markets, tap into innovation, or simply have a place where you and your colleagues have a place to work together. By working in a coworking space, you also have increased opportunities to share your services or collaborate on projects with those around you. 

Regardless of who is working in a coworking space, studies have reported various benefits: 64% of people reported increased productivity, 68% reported being more focused, and 90% reported feeling more confident in their work. 

Notably, since all members share the cost of the space everyone will benefit of economies of scale, and with transparent pricing at a fixed monthly rate it makes it easier to budget for your business. 

Some popular coworking space in Kuala Lumpur include Common Ground, Worq, DOJO KL, Colony, and WSPACE.

Coworking space memberships can be as short as 1 day or as long as several months. There are three main types of memberships: hot desk, dedicated desk, and private office. The difference being that with a hot desk you simply have access to any open desk in the coworking area, whereas with a dedicated desk you are guaranteed the same desk every time you come to the space. However, both options are available to rent on a daily or monthly basis.

Private offices on the other hand offer you and your team a private room within the coworking space and can be rented on a rolling monthly basis.
