Flexible Workspace Opens In Vaughan

TORONTO – September 14, 2016 – With 35 per cent of Canadians declaring their commuting pointless, Vaughan is embracing flexible working. Today, the global leader of flexible workspaces, Regus, has officially opened its first centre in Vaughan giving local residents a professional alternative workplace solution to cut the commute to their downtown office.

According to a recent survey, of almost 2,000 Canadians, 35 per cent report their daily commute as pointless, undefined time, while 32 per cent positively hate their commute and see it as a ‘waste’ of their time. There has been a sharp rise in the popularity of flexible workspaces and co-working in recent years driven by the rise of telecommuters and remote workers.

This new opening in Vaughan marks Regus Canada’s 99^th location with a presence in all GTA markets now. The new Regus centre is located at Keele Rutherford Corporate Centre (9131 Keele St.) and offers over 14,000 square feet of flexible workspace including a large dedicated co-working space, shared and private offices, meeting rooms and administrative support.

“This new centre is unique in that it combines a warm atmosphere with a modern, professional space and a large dedicated co-working space,” said Wayne Berger, VP of Regus Canada. “We see it as a perfect solution for professionals living in Vaughan to set up an office locally, work flexibly, and cut down on their painful commute to a downtown office.”

Easily accessible from HWY 400 and HWY 407, the modern space fosters a sense of innovation and collaboration and is an ideal location to work with other like-minded professionals. For telecommuters and remote workers, the workspace allows professionals to work closer to home to increase productivity while cutting the commute and getting them out of their distracting home office or busy coffee shop. For local business owners and start-ups, the flexible workspace provides an alternative solution to signing a long-term office lease—helping to reduce costs and mitigate risks that often come with office space.
