In Singapore, most co-working centres are situated in central areas, primarily in the central business district, with a precious few located within the heartlands. By including Staytion as part of Workthere’s offerings, it will to help build a more inclusive array of co-working options for hybrid workers, better connecting commuters and residents to secure, accessible and cost-effective workspaces to work, live and play.

Workthere has recently partnered with Staytion, Asia's first multi-concept lifestyle space provider as part of its offering for co-working spaces. Staytion will launch their first outlet at Marsling MRT station, with three more outlets slated to open at Dhoby Ghaut, Woodlands and Paya Lebar MRT stations by January 2023.

"So what is Staytion all about?"

Ashley Swan, Executive Director, Commercial Leasing at Savills Singapore shares,

 “As we exit the pandemic, it is increasingly evident that the way we work is changing. Remote and flexible working remain buzz words with people looking to work from anywhere. Workthere is pleased to onboard Staytion to our list of co-working providers on the platform where we provide hot desking, co-working and private office solutions.”
“There is a growing need of accessible flexible workspaces, especially so with most co-working outlets situated in central areas. Staytion answers this call, providing occupiers with a multi-concept lifestyle option in the heartlands where people can carry out their daily activities closer to where they need to be. This allows people to use their time more efficiently while still being able to satisfy the social aspects of daily life.”

What Staytion has to make you STAY

Toby C Shu, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at Staytion said:

“In the months ahead, we are excited to introduce commuters to a reinvented lifestyle space in their familiar MRT station environment within the heartlands. Through Staytion, we want to offer more choices for the daily commuter who need to have impromptu meetings, reply to urgent emails or even just grab a coffee on the go, rather than navigating to their office through the daily hustle and bustle. We’ll continue adopting a growth mindset and building commuter-centric ecosystems to serve all hybrid lifestyle needs in one place”

Staytion’s lifestyle spaces are designed in collaboration with multi-disciplinary award-winning design firm, Farm Pte Ltd. As Staytion is a one-of-kind, first-in-Asia space that provides a holistic spatial experience, every element was carefully considered and designed. This also provides Workthere with the opportunity to diversify our provider portfolio, potentially tapping into a new and emerging market segment of clientale.
