The Coworking Trend in Southeast Asia

Coworking is booming in Southeast Asia. As startups and small businesses flourish, demand for flexible workspaces increases. This is particularly evident in cities where commercial rents are high and leases are long (minimum 2 years). Flexible workspaces offer a flexible and convenient “plug and play” option from traditional office spaces.

Coworking and flexible workspace providers in Southeast Asia are aggressively opening more sites, leasing larger spaces, and expanding their foothold. The coworking industry in Southeast Asia has leased more than 8.0 million square feet in the last two years, and projected to grow between 10-15% annually.

JustCo aims to open more coworking centres in at least six regional countries, bringing the total number of locations in Asia to 30 by 2018, covering a total floor space of more than 1 million square feet.
