“We’ve come to understand the millennial generation’s culture of work, play and lifestyle being intermingled and the lines that use to divide these aspects of life are now blurred for a better quality of life. This is where SoVo units can offer a solution,” said Ceasar during the roof topping ceremony.
SoVo, or small office, versatile office is a concept where the office or work space is more than just that. Because work is just one part of a millennial’s life, the space is customized to meet the everyday needs of a person or family so that the other aspects of life can be enjoyed and experienced without having to compromise between productivity and quality personal time.
