Chart of the Day: Co-working space doubled to 1.4 million sqft in 2018

It could exceed 2 million sqft by 2019.

This chart from CBRE Research shows that Singapore’s co-working market doubled to around 1.4 million sqft in 2018 from just about 700,000 sqft in 2017.

“Ever since the concept of co-working took root about five years back, operators have had some time experimenting and fine-tuning their products,” CBRE noted. “Armed with this experience and riding on the startup boom, they are currently expanding furiously in terms of both speed and size.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
