InSitu Asia Sells Coworking Space 'District6' to Zero-Ten 'The Company'
SINGAPORE, September 19, 2018 (Newswire.com) - InSitu Asia has sold co-working space District6 to Zero Ten, headquartered in Fukuoka City, Hakata-ku.
InSitu Asia Co-Founder Yuta Oka previously stated that reaching near full capacity at District 6 in a crowded co-working market such as Singapore left them with two options: reaching out to investors to raise funds to develop multiple co-working locations under the same brand or to make way for a larger co-working company to take over the space, build up the community further and provide more benefits to the community members through reciprocal use of multiple co-working spaces owned, branded and operated internationally.
Out of all the suitors for District6, Zero Ten stood out as an operator and brand due to its ability to facilitate business expansion and growth for start ups, mentioned Jork Bosselaar (Co-Founder InSitu Asia). The District6 operating team will continue to be led by General Manager Jethro Quek and his team to ensure seamless continuity of service levels, events and collaborations that are currently ongoing with multiple proptech partners and community members.
The creative workspace and community managed by Zero-Ten called “The Company” with 5 well-established spaces in Cebu, Honolulu, Bangkok and two in Japan is being rapidly developed for overseas expansion and as such, D6 will be rebranded as “The Company Singapore” on Nov. 12, 2018. Their Singapore branch will seek to offer members an outstanding and conducive workspace by collaborating with the community in Singapore that D6 has cultivated thus far, as well as the global networking and work sharing mechanism inspired by The Company.
Since its opening in June 2017, District6 has partnered with leading companies and startups from various industries in Singapore, and it has also developed a community based around proptech. For example, in August 2018 District6 partnered with Lendlease and JLL to launch a proptech accelerator program for selected real estate tech startups.
District 6 also initiated two other Proptech events in 2017 with one of them being Singapore’s first ever Proptech Hackathon. Even after rebranding to “The Company Singapore,” the space will continue supporting events and initiatives for startups and innovators working in similar industries. InSitu Asia will remain in the community as a tenant and will continue to contribute and foster the community around real estate and hotel tech companies. Additionally, Kurasu will continue to be an integral part of the space, providing specialty coffee to the space’s community members and public alike.
