One of Africa’s leading real estate firms, 3Invest, has launched its corporate real estate model, Lagos Co-work. Lagos Co-work will be offering the first timeshare Co-working space opportunity in the city of Lagos.

“Our successful workplace strategy seeks to both improve organisational effectiveness and reduce Real Estate and Facilities costs,” said Ruth Obih-Obuah, Chief Executive 3Invest.

According to 3Invest, Lagos Co-work will provide and operate flexible office spaces to start-ups/growing businesses and create a collaborative community where people co-work and invest in timeshare opportunities.

Pioneered by start-ups, entrepreneurs and freelancers, a growing number of companies; large and small, are exploring how to incorporate the concept of co-working. This is largely because finding an office space in Lagos can be difficult and expensive especially in Nigeria where power and  access to internet are more of privileges than basic amenities. Apparently, co-working spaces are the next big thing.

With a growing number of companies looking to tap into the benefits of co-working, it is only a matter of time before the trend becomes an integral part of the corporate real estate toolkit. Co-working and flexible spaces are fast becoming critical components of the wider Corporate Real Estate (CRE) and portfolio strategy. The results of the latest JLL Global Coworking Survey reveal that 61 percent of co-working space providers are planning to expand their operations and almost 80 percent expect the number of members to increase in 2016. The number of members using co-working spaces globally has been on a steady increase each year and it is predicted to reach one million by 2018.

Is Lagos Co-work different from other Co-working spaces?

Lagos Co-work is for out-of-state or international businesses looking to expand into or have a presence in the Lagos or the Nigerian business sector.

However apart from just being a co-working space “Lagos co-work” has efficient spaces with a flexible payment structure, conducive and relaxed work environment, storage for resident tenants, business support services, professional management and quality tenants, substantial cost savings. Lagos Co-work is ideal for growing businesses and startups.

It also offers networking opportunities, work productivity and good investment opportunities. Its support services include mail handlings, telephone answering/voicemail and business support services such as legal advisory services, company registration, tax advisory, bookkeeping and VAT services. Lagos Co-work provides the right contemporary, flexible and affordable commercial space solution for you. It is also ideal for short project based organisations seeking a temporary workspace.
