IWG is opening a new coworking location under the Spaces brand in Bucharest-based Vastint Business Garden building that will focus on hybrid work demand.

The new Spaces location, covering a total of 1,900 sqm, will feature private offices, meeting rooms, co-working spaces, and creative spaces.

“As an important business hub, Bucharest is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans. The demand for high-quality flexible workspaces continues to soar as hybrid working becomes the new normal,” says Mark Dixon, CEO & Founder of IWG.

He added that the new location in Bucharest comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible working enhances employee well-being and satisfaction while also helping the environment.

The new Spaces location is within walking distance of Gara de Nord and the Grozăvești (M1 line) and Basarab (M3 line) metro stations, providing quick access to central areas such as Piața Unirii and Piața Victoriei.
