IWG, the world’s largest provider of hybrid working solutions, with brands including Spaces and Regus, has opened a state-of-the-art flexible workspace in Muscat to meet the increasing adoption of hybrid working across Oman.
The opening of IWG’s latest location at Al Fardan Heights comes on the heels of the business posting its highest-ever revenue in its 35-year history and achieving rapid network growth, adding 867 new locations over the course of 2023.
The spread of hybrid working has led to the extraordinary growth in the number of IWG centres worldwide, with 100 new locations signed in the region within the last 12 months. IWG’s Middle East and Africa network now aims to operate 1,000 locations across the region within the next three years.
Situated in Ghala, this new Regus location is part of a drive by IWG to meet the sharply rising demand for top class flexible working space in the area. The recently opened workplace provides space for established firms and start-ups across a range of industries, with facilities including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces. The building owner decided to invest in the IWG platform to maximise the return on their real estate space by capitalising on the rapidly expanding demand for hybrid working.
With an annual investment of around $64 million into its technology platform, IWG provides partners with access to all the company’s expertise as well as design and fit-out support and sales and marketing capabilities.
