WeWork vs. The Work Project

 

When it comes to choosing the right coworking space for you, there is no one size fits all. Hence it’s important to differentiate what each company aims to do and provide so you can determine whether they can offer you based on your priorities and needs.

WeWork or The Work Project? Which one should you choose?

Workspace

If you’re looking for luxe design, we’d recommend The Work Project. With its hotel-like amenities, designer furniture, and all-day bar, The Work Project is difficult to beat. If you want the executive lifestyle, The Work Project is the obvious choice.

But not everyone can afford this luxury and it’s not a priority for most businesses to have such a high-end workspace. For those who prefer more modest office spaces, WeWork offers more moderate prices while still offering premium office locations.

Track Record

Both WeWork and The Work Project are large coworking spaces with track records to back them up. If you’re looking at years of experience, WeWork has half a decade more experience in the industry than The Work Project. But if you’re looking at awards to determine a track record, then The Work Project has the upper hand. 

Network

When it comes to the breadth of their networks, WeWork is the winner overall. WeWork has a whopping 800 branches all over the world. This makes their network incredibly diverse. Not to mention, their membership pool includes some of the most influential multinational companies in the world. This means that working with them will give you a lot of opportunities if you’re looking to penetrate another market. 

This doesn’t mean, however, that the network of The Work Project can be underestimated either. Though The Work Project is mainly based in Asia, its membership includes some of the most distinguished professionals and executives in industry-leading companies that have a presence in Singapore and Hongkong. As these two markets are booming in terms of global commerce, its network is also highly valuable, if a bit more niched. And because they have MARK, which is their exclusive business club, joining their network also comes at a higher price than joining WeWork’s network.

Why should you choose WeWork?

Reputation

Hotel-like workplace

With a background in hospitality, The Work Project is marrying the grandeur of hotels with the functionality of coworking spaces to provide a top-tier working environment. Their branches are heavily influenced by this luxury aesthetic and they have won several awards for their beautiful space since they launched 5 years ago.

Their branches are furnished with Pierre Frey furniture. They also provide members access to a fully-staffed bar, in partnership with  Proof & Co., to bring them complimentary food, beverages, and cocktails.

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. Unlike your traditional coworking space, MARK offers rooms that any corporate executive may need during and after their workday.
