PIECE OF THE PIE
Co-working spaces that have sprung up in the heart of town.
01 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Formerly known as Lattice80, the renamed 80RR still pegs itself as a fintech hub – the largest in the world, in fact. It has all the co-working necessities, from meeting rooms to HD projectors, but it’s the connections made here that will prove invaluable to those in this industry. 80RobinsonRoad
02 SUMPTUOUS SETTINGS
Hong Kong’s The Work Project has set up its first overseas outpost at OUE Downtown Gallery, taking over the building’s entire fourth floor with 24,000 sq ft of co-working spaces and serviced offices. Omotesando Koffee and gourmet food retailer The Providore will keep patrons sated through the day. #04-01/09,6AShentonWay
03 AN OLD HAND
One of the first co-working spaces in Singapore, The Working Capitol has expanded from its Keong Saik Road location to the CBD. The 11-storey facility includes an outdoor swimming pool, gym and a beer garden for those who need to blow off some steam. 140RobinsonRoad
04 THE HIGH LIFE AT WORK
With an emphasis on interior design, The Great Room, which debuted at One George Street, often feels more like a luxe hotel than an office, with lavish leather sofas, bar and cafe, complimentary breakfasts and free 10-minute massages on Mondays. It recently opened a second, 36,000 sq ft branch at Centennial
Tower with panoramic views of the Singapore Flyer and surrounds. #17/18-01, 3TemasekAvenue
05 MATCHMAKING BUSINESSES
Collision 8 was built to foster collaborations between traditional businesses and tech innovators. To that end, the management team regularly hosts welcome sessions, monthly check-ins, workshops, private dinners, forums and more. #08-08 HighStreet Centre
06 GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
Justco may have fewer frills in terms of facilities, but it’s good enough for big name clients like Dropbox, Japanese messaging app Line Corp and Web security firm Cloudflare. It also has five locations in Singapore, all located in the CBD. #10-01,UICBuilding
07 PROFESSIONAL CONNECTIONS
District6 wants disruptors in its community, and its founders prefer to see themselves as partners in a cutting-edge business journey rather than just office providers. Which is why it offers law and accounting services, as well as partnerships with IT providers and consultancy companies – whatever helps its tenants grow their network faster. #02-01, OdeonTowers
08 GLOBAL NETWORK
US company We Work was valued at US$20 billion (S$26 billion) last year, and its Singapore offices mark the nation as the 20th country in which it has set up co-working spaces. The managers will assess each client to better understand their needs and work to bring relevant people together from its vast global connections. 71RobinsonRoad
