WORQ is steadily working towards connecting all of Klang Valley via Transit-Oriented coworking spaces.

WORQ, Malaysia’s leading working and wiggle room service, joined with Sunway Malls, one of Southeast Asia’s leading store groups, to demonstrate its latest coworking space, located in Sunway Putra Mall on the PWTC LRT train line. The page was opned on 25th March.

This stands as White Q’s eighth shop and its seventh shop in Klang Valley’s interstate travel rail system as it works to connect all of Klang Valley via Transit- Oriented coworking spaces and spans 20, 000 square feet of upcycled space.

Sunway Malls & Theme Parks ‘ Chief Executive Officer, HC Chan, stated,” Sunway Malls is committed to leading with conservation, and we are delighted with this strategic relationship with WORQ. Through our joint attempts at Sunway Putra Mall, WORQ has effectively demonstrated that intelligent renovations may both preserve the environment and increase profits. By reusing and repurposing existing fit-out, this effort also creates new standards for the lifetime of workplace spaces. This agreement is a sign of our common conviction that business success and environmental stewardship are comparable in fact.

There is a unique opportunity to leverage Indonesian human capital as the global workforce transitions to remote work by attracting more remote-work opportunities to our shores and encouraging global firms to get Malay. By providing carefully located stretch headquarters at Transit-Oriented Developments, the business is where work is done and jobs are created. Many of our coworkers are more effective then that they no longer drive, but instead do so while on the way to labor, in between sessions in the area, and on their way back home, according to Stephanie Ping, CEO and co-founder of WORQ.

This transit-oriented development ( TOD ) approach liberalizes real estate, reducing people’s dependence on cars while allowing them to move between various offices and locations. This is in line with the demands for flexible working arrangements.

By connecting workspaces with transit lines, WOR Q’s collaboration with Sunway Group and Prasarana Malaysia Bhd exemplifies Malaysia’s transition toward a transit-oriented community. This strategic action not only makes commutes more successful, but it also significantly improves the government’s sustainability goals by reducing vehicle dominance and improving employee well-being, according to Anthony Loke, Malaysia’s minister of transport who witnessed the announcement of the partnership with Sunway Malls.

WORQ claimed that it has established a unique cloud office infrastructure, enabling professionals to seamlessly move from one outlet to another, creating a dynamic and flexible work environment by linking these train lines with Google-like offices. With the help of this cloud-based office infrastructure, both local and international employers can quickly hire professionals from all over Klang Valley.

We applaud WOR Q’s commitment to creating a cloud-based workplace infrastructure that connects employees from all over the world. This perfectly reflects Prasarana’s commitment to making the Klang Valley’s use of public transportation the preferred mode of transportation. WORQ promotes the use of public transportation by liberalizing real estate and facilitating seamless transitions between outlets, according to Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, President and CEO of Prasarana.” By enhancing accessibility and flexibility, WORQ increases access and flexibility to meet the needs of the modern workforce.

Additionally, the project uses an existing space’s layout to creatively transform it into a contemporary coworking space. This exercise enables WORQ to capitalize on the location and ease of the mall by revitalizing existing infrastructure and spaces in Malaysia’s retail landscape.

Transforming malls with innovative space usage, sustainably

Due to the significant shift in real estate demand, malls are evolving in the post-pandemic landscape. These locations are being transformed into vibrant mixed-use projects that will be successful, and mall owners should capitalize on the growing need for community-oriented coworking spaces by working with established operators to create vibrant work environments that draw customers even on weekdays.

This shift to flexibility leads to an annual reduction of about 118 metric tons of carbon emissions and promotes recycling and reusing practices, facilitating effective office repurposing without extensive reconstruction.

Setting a sustainability standard and acting as a model for other coworking industry players, WOR Q’s facilities at Sunway Putra Mall feature high-quality, overstocked construction materials from HOMA. WORQ can use the location and convenience of the mall to revitalize existing infrastructure and spaces in Malaysia’s vast retail landscape.
