International Workplace Group has announced that it is opening a state-of-the-art flexible workspace in Thika as part of its plans to expand its network to keep pace with rising demand for more flexible ways of working across Kenya.
Situated in Zuhura Place, Thika, this new location is part of a drive by International Workplace Group to meet the sharply rising demand for top-class flexible working space in the area.
The six-storey building provides space for established firms and start-ups across a range of industries, including steel products, food (like oil, bakeries, and nuts), and pharmaceuticals. Other industries in and around the Thika area include steel mills, chemical production, and rubber and leather tanning, while International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements.
The new Regus location will include facilities, including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces.
“Our opening in Zuhura Place comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible and platform working is incredibly popular with employees, improving their work-life balance and satisfaction, while also providing a multitude of benefits to companies. We are very pleased to work in partnership with Wakati Limited to develop the Regus brand under a management agreement that will add a cutting-edge workspace to their building,” said Mark Dixon, CEO & Founder of International Workplace Group PLC.
The building owners decided to invest in the International Workplace Group platform to maximise the return on their real estate space by capitalising on the rapidly expanding demand for hybrid working.
“This partnership with IWG is more than a business arrangement – it is a statement about Thika’s potential and represents a natural, strategic next step for us. By connecting our clients to a global workspace ecosystem, we are opening doors, removing boundaries, and elevating our service offering. We are proud to bring global standards to our local market and equally proud to showcase Thika as a thriving destination within IWG’s international network,” said Susan Irungu, Managing Director at Wakati Limited.
