Spaces sets foot in Hong Kong.

Over the past year, Spaces has entered Hong Kong’s market for coworking spaces. With five new buzzing and beautiful places to work, Hong Kong-based professionals and brands entering the market can grow, connect and become inspired – all within a well-designed and positive environment. In the light of this, our co-founder and CEO, Martijn Roordink, had a chat with Hong Kong 01 about growth, the Spaces brand and the surge in shared services.

The shared spike

Hong Kong, similar to the rest of the world, is experiencing a popularity spike in just about anything relating to the sharing economy. Coworking, co-living and car sharing, the demand is growing universally. Spaces is not new to making investments towards creating efficient, shared workspaces in an industry that’s still growing. “For Spaces, the growth will come automatically. But, we believe in sustainable growth.” Roordink says. Spaces is aiming for more and aims to do so in a sustainable fashion. For Roordink, this means ensuring that each and every Spaces adheres to the same high standard, wherever in the world it may be.
That part rings true. A large part of Spaces’ success is caused by its focus on quality. According to Roordink, that’s where the strength of the brand lies. Whether it’s in the styling of each space, the events held for its community or in the way the brand is communicated, quality always matters over quantity. That’s where Spaces differentiates itself.

Mentality matters

Hong Kong is the perfect place so set this in motion. It’s a place where a brand can get its business going, it doesn’t make a difference whether it’s a local brand or a foreign one looking to establish itself. Its economic status and trade-oriented mentality play well into Spaces’ key messages of providing enabling environments that allow businesses to achieve growth, establish strong connections and share knowledge that has accumulated over the years. It’s in this where Spaces’ biggest opportunities lie.

Unlike conventional office spaces, Spaces aims to cater to the specific needs of businesses of any size, without being as boring and uninspired as your typical traditional office space. In doing so, brands and professionals with various backgrounds engage and interact with each other in a uniquely social surrounding. Hong Kong truly lends itself well to this changing, shared and social market.

Hong Kong’s Spaces

Spaces Sun House

Spaces Sun House is found in the energetic Sheung Wan district, just shy of the city’s business district. Also dubbed the hipster neighbourhood, this area provides year-round inspiration for great business ideas. From the cozy markets to the traditional artisanal shops, one can rest assured that something there’s something happening in Sheung Wan. The same applies to Spaces Sun House. Perfectly blending the surrounding area’s traditional vibes with Hong Kong’s modern metropolitan feel, this business hub creates a wonderful work experience for regulars and one-time visitors alike.

Spaces Wai Yip Street

If you’re looking for stunning views, Spaces Wai Yip Street should be your cup of tea. The 13th floor is home to a rooftop terrace overlooking the city’s impressive skyline and the world-famous Victoria Harbour. However, the true eye-catcher are not just found on the outside of the building. The wide-open layout of the business club and the bright spaces offer an unparalleled working experience as well. This workspace has the full package.

Spaces Axa Southside

Spaces Axa Southside is located on the south side of Hong Kong Island. The climate here is extremely sunny, and that rubs off on the professional climate. In the past years it has become a hub for all things creative, industrious and vibrant. There’s no shortage of art galleries, creative outlets and hidden secrets mostly known among those lucky enough to call themselves local. Now, Spaces offers a place where many different industries meet up, creating a true “best of all worlds”-experience.

Spaces Hennessy Road

A walk across Hennessy Road in the Wan Chai district takes you directly to Spaces Hennessy Road. The Wan Chai district, known for its multitude of bars, lush nightlife and for being engulfed in skyscrapers all around, provides a great place for those looking for a lively place to work and live. The excellent public transport can take you anywhere you need to be in no-time, making this a great central hub.

Spaces Lee Garden 3

Talking about Spaces with a view, Spaces Lee Garden 3 comes to mind. Towering high above the streets, one of the city’s youngest skyscrapers gives off a uniquely metropolitan feel. As do the offices inside. Found amidst the hectic streets of Causeway Bay, any retail-oriented business will feel right at home – although businesses of all types can revel in this entrepreneurial atmosphere found high in the sky.
