WORQ has strengthened its position as Malaysia’s largest coworking space operator with the launch of its 13th outlet at Menara Shell, KL Sentral, in partnership with Sentral REIT.
The expansion increases WORQ’s footprint in KL Sentral to approximately 60,000 square feet and reflects growing demand for flexible workspaces located within well-connected transit-oriented developments.
The new outlet is already fully occupied, highlighting continued demand from businesses seeking accessible, people-focused workplaces in strategic urban locations.
Growing Demand for Transit-Oriented Workspaces
As hybrid work becomes a long-term strategy for many organisations, accessibility is becoming a key factor in workplace decisions.
WORQ reported that nearly half of its members now commute using public transport, compared to just 20 per cent during its early years. This trend reflects a broader shift towards more sustainable and cost-efficient commuting options.
Located in one of Malaysia’s busiest transportation hubs, Menara Shell offers direct access to multiple rail and transit connections, making it an attractive destination for businesses and employees alike.
Partnership Supports Sustainable Urban Mobility
The expansion also reinforces the growing role of transit-oriented developments in shaping future workplaces.
To further encourage public transport adoption, WORQ has partnered with Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, allowing Rapid Kembara pass users to enjoy discounts on day passes across WORQ locations.
The collaboration highlights how workplace providers and public transport operators can work together to create a more connected and sustainable urban ecosystem.
Designed for Productivity and Wellbeing
The Menara Shell workspace has been designed to support both productivity and employee wellbeing.
Facilities include ergonomic workstations, soundproof meeting rooms, wellness areas, sleep pods, a mother’s room, games room, and modern communal spaces designed to support collaboration and comfort throughout the workday.
The flexible layouts also allow businesses to scale and customise their workspace according to changing operational needs.
Supporting ESG and Future-Ready Offices
The new outlet is located within Menara Shell, a building recognised with LEED Platinum certification for its environmental performance.
By leveraging shared infrastructure and efficient space utilisation, the workspace supports lower energy consumption while aligning with broader ESG goals increasingly prioritised by businesses and property owners.
The partnership between WORQ and Sentral REIT also demonstrates how flexible workspaces can help landlords diversify tenant offerings and maximise building value in a changing office market.
A New Chapter for Flexible Work in Malaysia
The launch represents another step in the evolution of Malaysia’s flexible workspace sector as companies continue adapting to hybrid work models and changing employee expectations.
With strong demand for transit-connected, wellness-focused workplaces, WORQ’s latest expansion reflects how the future of work is becoming increasingly centred around flexibility, accessibility, and sustainable urban development.
