WeWork has announced the official launch of three new offices in Suntec City Tower 5, City House and 8 Cross Street in Singapore, bringing its footprint here to over nine locations with 4,000 members.
With its newest locations, WeWork now offers members nine dynamic and strategically-located workspaces in Singapore, adding even more capacity to its global community not only within the nation’s Central Business District (CBD) but also across the Southeast Asia region, with new locations opening in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila by the end of the year.
At WeWork Suntec City Tower 5, City House, and 8 Cross Street, members have access to 700 desks across two floors, 600 desks across four floors and 1,200 desks across four floors respectively. The expansion will enable more enterprises and startups to join WeWork, in turn creating a bigger and more thriving community.

We are excited to support the growth of more businesses in Singapore and see this as an opportunity for WeWork to grow in tandem by supporting them in building a dynamic and creative community in Singapore as they expand their footprints across Southeast Asia.”
