Hotel-like workplace

Exclusivity
One of the key features that sets The Work Project apart is their newly launched exclusive Business Club. This members-only business club, MARK, was produced in collaboration with Hassel, Mark.

The Hive

Free Trial
One of The Hive’s key features as a coworking space is their free trial. To encourage people to join their coworking community, The Hive’s provides a no-strings-attached trial to let them have The Hive experience at no cost.

The Work Project vs. The Hive
-
Hotel vs. Travel
A key difference between The Work Project and The Hive are their unique selling points. The Work Project emulates hotels to give their members a hotel-experience in their everyday workspace. Meanwhile, The Hive gives their members Asia Miles to improve their travelling experience. Therefore, the choice between the two workspace providers will depend on your preference and circumstances; which is of greater value to you, having an amazing office to use day in day out or saving money when traveling?
-
Luxury vs. Cost-effectiveness
Do you stay in one location and prefer to have a luxurious workspace or do you travel a lot for work and would prefer to save some money flying from one place to another? If you don’t travel a lot for work, investing in luxury for your daily working needs may be a good choice if it’s within your budget. If you want to take your luxurious experience up a notch, you can even consider joining The Work Project’s exclusive business club.
But if you travel often, then The Hive and its miles offer is a very attractive option. Not to mention, The Hive offers a free trial to prospective members. If you’re not sure which workspace is right for you, you can try out The Hive’s workspaces at no cost. That’s a great deal!
-
Local vs. International
Another factor to consider when choosing between The Work Project and The Hive is the market of your business. Are you operational or selling to Singapore or Hongkong only? If so, then either choice can be good.
However, if you sell internationally or you’re thinking of broadening your horizons by expanding to newer markets, then The Hive is a better option. They have locations in 7 countries across the Asia Pacific region. You can have teams in several countries working remotely through The Hive’s network and you can also use their offices in other countries when you travel. This saves you time coordinating with remote teams and helps you save money when you work when traveling.
