WORQ, a Malaysia-based coworking and flexible workspace provider, has in a partnership deal with Bandar Utama City Group, to launch its latest outlet at KPMG Tower, 8 First Avenue in Bandar Utama.

WORQ said in a statement that this joint investment introduces a wellness-embedded, transit-oriented coworking model designed to help companies unlock their employees’ potential while elevating workplace well-being.

Located in the heart of Bandar Utama and directly connected to MRT and LRT stations, WORQ Bandar Utama sits within a thriving business and lifestyle hub that connects workers to retail, dining, fitness and lifestyle amenities, including pickleball courts, hotels and 1 Utama Shopping Center.

The new outlet spans up to 30,000 square feet with features such as open-air balconies equipped with alfresco work spaces, restorative zones, nap pods, nursing rooms and game rooms, designed to reduce stress and enhance productivity.

“Employee well-being isn’t just a perk, it’s a business advantage. Companies that invest in healthier, happier teams see stronger engagement, lower staff turnover, and higher
performance,

“With WORQ Bandar Utama, we’re showing how forward-thinking landlords and flexible space operators can create people-focused experiences at the workplace that unlock employees’ productivity, improve retention and motivate teams to future-proof workplaces,” said Stephanie Ping, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WORQ.

WORQ, in partnership with Bandar Utama City Group, co-invested in the fit-out of the coworking space as part of a successful refurbishment to revitalize 8 First Avenue.

This initiative was carried out in conjunction with the building’s broader asset enhancement program.

By integrating flexible workspace capabilities into the Grade A office tower, which is home to many global corporations, the strategy has proven effective for landlords seeking to preserve and grow the value of their portfolios.

The building is also undergoing significant upgrades, including a refurbished lobby, enhanced common areas, and the addition of sustainable features such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers and energy-efficient systems.

According to the statement, this strategic partnership between Bandar Utama City Group and WORQ demonstrates a forward-thinking landlord approach: enabling them to share in the revenue of a flex-space operator while enhancing building value and attracting a brand new market of myriad small teams and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) into their building.

By offering flexible coworking solutions in their building,
landlords are able to provide added convenience of flexible spaces to their traditional tenants.

This allows their traditional tenants to rent short-term spaces for project teams, house temporary staff, and rent on-demand meeting and event rooms.

The space also serves as a community hub, fostering connections among all businesses in the area.

“Our partnership with WORQ is key to transforming 8 First Avenue into a dynamic, people-centric office for the future. Beyond updating the physical space with a new lobby and other common area enhancements, we’re investing in the ‘soft’ aspects that bring a building to life,

“This includes building a thriving business community through having more convenient retail options such as MyNews, Anytime Fitness Gym and Salad Atelier (coming
soon) on the Ground Floor, and providing flexible workspace amenities for our long-term tenants,” said Teo Siu Ping, Leasing and Business Development.

“It also allows us to welcome smaller teams to our prime address, a market we couldn’t serve before,

“By offering flexible, wellness-focused workspaces, we’re meeting the evolving needs of modern businesses and positioning 8 First Avenue as a lifestyle-driven business destination for corporates of all sizes,” she added.
