Offering a blend of flexibility, convenience, and community, WORQ’s newest outlet in Bandar Utama is turning heads and winning hearts among Klang Valley’s growing expat community.

In today’s world of hybrid teams, flexible hours, and remote working norms, the question isn’t whether offices need to evolve – it’s how. That’s where WORQ Bandar Utama comes in. The latest addition to Malaysia’s leading flexible workspace brand, this new location at KPMG Tower in Bandar Utama is raising the bar for what a modern, people-first office can look like – and expats living and working around the Klang Valley are taking note.

BEYOND DESKS AND WI-FI: A WORKPLACE DESIGNED FOR LIFE

At a glance, WORQ Bandar Utama ticks the usual coworking boxes: fast internet, modern meeting rooms, and ergonomic workstations. But spend a bit of time inside and you’ll quickly realise this isn’t just another shared office.

There’s a fully equipped mothers’ room for nursing parents, nap pods for a quick recharge, a colourful games room, and thoughtfully designed communal areas where casual chats often lead to new ideas and collaborations. It’s a space built on the principle that work should fit into life – not the other way around. For expats far from home, that balance of functionality and friendliness offers something more than just a desk: it offers a sense of ease and belonging.

TRANSIT-ORIENTED COWORKING: WORK CLOSER, LIVE BETTER

Location is key – especially for expats juggling work, family, and the logistics of daily life. WORQ Bandar Utama exemplifies the group’s Transit-Oriented Coworking model: workspaces positioned for maximum convenience and connectivity, while cutting down the grind of KL’s traffic.

Set within a Grade A office tower that’s directly linked to the MRT – and soon the LRT – this outlet offers easy, sustainable commuting. It’s also within walking distance of 1 Utama Shopping Centre and several popular hotels, making it ideal for client meetings, quick errands, or a relaxing lunch break. It’s no surprise that over half of WORQ’s members now use public transport, helping ease urban congestion – a shift that resonates with many environmentally conscious expats.

“Our Transit-Oriented Coworking model is about giving people back their time and peace of mind,” explains Stephanie Ping, Co-founder and CEO of WORQ. “When you’re not stuck in traffic, you can spend that time on what really matters – whether it’s family, wellness, or new ideas.”

CONNECTION BEYOND THE WORKDAY

WORQ has always aimed to be more than just a workspace. Each location is set up as a community hub, with the spirit of a modern-day rukun tetangga – not just for locals, but for newcomers to the city, too.

Weekly social mixers, professional workshops, and networking sessions make it easy for expats to plug into the local startup scene or simply find new friends. As Francesco Argento, CEO of ezyspark and a longtime WORQ member puts it, “Being part of a community like WORQ has given me the opportunity to get to know amazing people that have become good friends and part of my business and personal life.”

With access to WORQ’s cloud office model, members aren’t tied to a single location. Whether you’re taking a client meeting at KL Sentral or brainstorming in Subang, you’ll still be connected to the same standard of service – and the same supportive community.

A LIFESTYLE NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR WORK AND PLAY

Bandar Utama is a well-established favourite among expats, offering a good mix of urban convenience and residential calm. From WORQ’s location, members are within walking distance to international schools, fitness centres, and a wide range of restaurants and cafés. Need a breather? Hit the gym next door, take a stroll in a nearby park, or decompress in the games room – it’s the kind of work-life blend that many professionals wish their office had.

A BLUEPRINT FOR MALAYSIA’S FUTURE WORKPLACES

With its Bandar Utama launch, WORQ – in partnership with Bandar Utama City Group – is signalling a forward-looking approach to workspaces: one that combines productivity with comfort, accessibility with sustainability, and local charm with global expectations.

In a world where work and life increasingly overlap, WORQ Bandar Utama gets the mix right. And for expats navigating a new country, a new job, or a new community, that can make all the difference.
