International Workspace Group: IWG, the world’s largest provider of hybrid working solutions with brands including Spaces and Regus, is opening a state-of-the-art flexible workspace in Lusaka, Zambia, as the demand for hybrid working rapidly accelerates.

The new location situated at Sunshare Tower – a skyscraper in Lusaka and the second tallest building in the country – will span across two floors and provide facilities including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working, and creative spaces. Scheduled to open in November, this development is part of the drive to provide top-class facilities in a wide variety of locations as hybrid working becomes a reality for more workers.

IWG is the world’s leading provider of flexible workspace with 3,500 locations in more than 120 countries, and members able to access all the locations and business services via the IWG app.

With explosive market growth as companies of all sizes adopt hybrid working for the long term, it is predicted that 30% of all commercial real estate will be flexible workspace by 2030 and IWG partners are able to capitalise on this fast-growing sector while being supported by IWG’s unparalleled experience. Hybrid working offers companies a significantly lower cost base with an average saving of $11k per employee.

Lusaka is one of Zambia’s fastest-growing regional locations. Demand for workspaces in the area has performed strongly, with the number of enquiries for space in IWG locations continuing to sharply increase.

With an annual investment of around £50m 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.

Mark Dixon, CEO and Founder of IWG, commented: “We are establishing a stronger and much-needed footprint in Lusaka with this latest opening. As an important business hub, Lusaka is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans. The need for high-quality flexible workspaces continues to soar as hybrid working becomes the new normal. We are very pleased to work in partnership with the building owner to develop the Regus brand under a management agreement that will add a cutting-edge workspace to their building.”

“Our opening in Lusaka comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible working boosts employee happiness and satisfaction while helping the environment. Our workspace model is also proven to increase productivity and allows for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs.”

Principal Partner and Founder of Ndilila Associates, Architects & Project Managers, Dr Francis Ndilila, applauded the development of the Regus Sunshare Towers workspace. “Hybrid working spaces are flexible and promote the concept of ‘WORKING SMART’. They optimize the when, where and what type of usage of working space and avoids the unproductive overheads inherent in the use of fixed office spaces.”

Government and non-governmental organizations, as well as small and medium enterprises, are encouraged to take advantage of the new flexible workspace from IWG, as Regus Sunshare Tower opens its doors this November.

IWG’s multi-brand expansion strategy is designed to appeal to every type of business and entrepreneur. IWG creates personal, financial, and strategic value for businesses of every size, from some of the most exciting companies and well-known organizations on the planet to individuals and the next generation of industry leaders.
