New co-working space opens in Sydney CBD

A new co-working space has opened in Sydney’s CBD.

The GPT’s Group’s Space&Co venue at 580 George Street Sydney will occupy more than 1,000 square metres on Level 10.

The space will be able to accommodate 160 members.

Features and amenities will include workstations, two boardrooms, secure internet connections, private suites and multiple meeting spaces, GPT’s National Director, Flexible Workspace Solutions Shey Hooper said.

“Our new Space&Co. venue has been specifically designed to deliver to the growing interest we are seeing from businesses of all sizes for flexible workspaces that offer more privacy and digital security,” Hooper said. 

“We continue to see strong demand for our premium flexible workspaces, including 580 George Street where we have now increased the size of our Space&Co. a second time since we opened in the building in 2016.”

“The opening of our new Sydney venue follows the successful expansion of Space&Co. in Melbourne – where we now have four venues with around half of our members drawn from the existing tenants in the buildings where we operate.”

BVN Senior Practice Director Sally Campbell said the design of the new venue had been shaped by the evolving needs of members.

“We are now able to collect data from existing sites which provides a deeper understanding of the challenges Space&Co. customers face in their own businesses and how that impacts their space requirements,” said Campbell.

“Space&Co. is a provider of real estate solutions that support evolving businesses, and for this reason it is a necessity to incorporate flexibility in both environment and service to be able to respond quickly to tenants ever changing needs. Adopting an attitude of constant evolution is critical.”

Hooper said the said the venue benefitted from being in Sydney CBD’s Midtown area, which has emerged as a hub for start-ups and international technology and creative firms.

“580 George Street includes the best amenities and is arguably the most convenient location for any workplace in Sydney,” said Hooper.
