WORQ, a Malaysia-based coworking and flex space provider, has announced an expansion at Menara UOA Bangsar (MUB) on Friday.

This is in addition to the firm’s existing 15,000 square feet, bringing the total size of the coworking space to 32,500 square feet, the firm said in a statement.

With the increasing demand from landlords as well as potential tenants, WORQ said the firm remains committed to meeting the growing need for flexible workspace solutions in Klang Valley of Malaysia.

It is noted that the current expansion adds 17,500 square feet to WORQ’s already established footprint at MUB.

In a joint effort with the Asset Manager of MUB Tower B, UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd (UOAAM), WORQ has enhanced the space at MUB into a hub that has attracted high-value
startups, investors, and entrepreneurs such as Artem, Alphabet, Cradle and Antler who show deep interest in the dynamic activities within the hub.

The full occupancy rate also showcases the continued demand for quality workspaces and well-placed trust in the brand’s ability to facilitate dynamic and efficient work environments, said the statement.

WORQ noted the expansion at MUB not only highlights its growth but also underscores the need for a premier innovation hub.

It said MUB has become a thriving community for businesses, which is a testament to its top-notch facilities and exceptional building upkeep.

“Achieving 100 percent occupancy a month before our official launch at MUB is a strong validation of WORQ’s long-term mission to provide high-quality and flexible workspaces,” said Stephanie Ping, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WORQ.

According to her, this expansion is not only about growing our footprint but also about fostering a vibrant community where innovation and collaboration thrive.

“Since the beginning we have focused on meeting the evolving needs of the Malaysian business community and we are excited and committed to continuing our journey in creating spaces that empower businesses to succeed,” she added.

WORQ said the firm aspires to build and maintain a strong and lasting relationship with the landlords in the local market with continuous expansions in the same building premises.

It noted that over the years, the firm has remained committed to adapting to the evolving business landscape and continues to innovate by expanding into MD-compliant office buildings in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

It highlighted that the expansion at MUB, not meets the growing demand for grade-A office buildings, showing substantial rent growth as businesses seize the chance to move to technologically advanced buildings with attractive rates and premium coworking spaces.

“As the Asset Manager of MUB Tower B, we are proud to have played a pivotal role in the transformation of MUB into a vibrant hub for high-value startups and investors,

“We are committed to supporting WORQ Bangsar’s efforts in creating a community-building environment where venture capitalists and startup activities can thrive and benefit from a comprehensive blend of both soft and hard infrastructure, creating an ideal hub for growth and innovation,” stated UOAAM.

In line with UOAAM’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, recent Asset Enhancement Initiatives (AEI) at MUB have further elevated the building’s stature.

Starting last year, UOAAM initiated significant upgrades to the building, ensuring that environmentally friendly materials were carefully selected and fittings that comply with green standards were utilized.

These efforts culminated in MUB achieving LEED O&M Gold Certification in 2023, underscoring UOAAM’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
