Scaling up the future of work
Paramount Coworking recently introduced Scalable Malaysia, an end-to-end consult, design, build and manage workspace solution provider that targets the needs of medium to large corporations seeking customised office solutions. To find out more, we took a few moments to chat with Benjamin Teo on his thoughts and aspirations on this new venture.
How did you come up with the idea for Scalable Malaysia?We started with the vision to build the future of work that is fully customised according to our client’s needs, offering an end-to-end approach in our value proposition stages of consult, design, build and manage.
This led to market research/ feasibility studies which revealed that there were gaps in the market to be filled for office relocation, renewal, renovation and new satellite office in terms of sourcing for reputable real estate agents, reliable contractors and established workspace management providers.
A deep dive into our combined expertise and capabilities together with market insights revealed that between Paramount Property and Co-labs Coworking, we are backed by over 50 years of property development expertise and experience in managing over 100,000 sq. ft. of shared office workspaces. I believe that we are well-suited with the right know-how to serve our target market’s needs well.
