Coworking space WOTSO to expand its 950-sq m hub

Space was restructured to accommodate larger office teams.

WOTSO Workspace, Australia’s largest provider of collaborative workspace hubs, opened its Singapore office in August 2016 at The Quadrant building, 19 Cecil Street.
It was already an existing coworking space called Springboard until it was rebranded to WOTSO. “We wanted our first overseas site to be a joint venture and benefit from ‘on-the-ground’ local management,” explained Stuart Brown, CEO of Wotso.

The space offers a mixture of open plan desks and private serviced offices over two floors with a rooftop and function area. “Our space design is driven by our head office in Sydney, and with 10 other coworking spaces under our belt we’ve learnt a lot along the way about what works and what doesn’t for this kind of space,” said Brown.

The space was reconfigured on the 5th Level to accommodate larger office teams and to give members on Level 4 and 5 an access to shared amenities like the kitchen and meeting rooms.

With business links between South East Asia and Australia, Brown mentioned that Singapore is a favourable place to expand WOTSO’s operations, either through full ownership or management arrangements like the current space.

“The startup and entrepreneurial system is so proactive in Singapore, there’s ample demand for coworking space,” Brown ended.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
