KUALA LUMPUR, 10 NOVEMBER 2026 – International Workplace Group (IWG), the world’s largest platform for work with brands including HQ and Regus, announced today the four new state-of-the-art flexible workplaces: HQ Wisma MTT, Regus Wisma Hamzah Kwong Hing, alongside HQ Megan Salak Park and HQ Menara Summit, both set to open in December 2026. With the long-term shift to more flexible ways of working, IWG is expanding its network to keep pace with rising demand across Malaysia.

The addition of International Workplace Group’s latest location in Malaysia comes right after the business posting its highest-ever revenue, cash flow and earnings growth in its history and achieving rapid network growth, signing a record 728 new locations globally in the first half of 2026, and taking its global network to more than 6,000 signed locations across more than 120 countries.

IWG’s capital-light growth is powering the vast majority of its expansion, with 95% of these locations being delivered via managed partnership agreements. The model enables property owners and investors to generate higher returns from their buildings, while allowing IWG to grow its global network quickly and efficiently.

Vijayakumar Tangarasan, Country Head for Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei of International Workplace Group PLC, commented: “Expanding our network to 53 locations across Malaysia marks another important milestone in our growth as more businesses look for flexible ways to work. Through our HQ and Regus brands, we provide modern, technology-enabled workspaces in key commercial areas and growing business districts across the country. As Malaysia continues to embrace more flexible and efficient ways of working, IWG helps businesses stay agile and connect with opportunities locally and globally. We remain committed to providing accessible and flexible workspace solutions that support local businesses, SMEs and global companies as they grow and adapt to changing business needs.”

Expanding High-Quality Flexible Workspaces Across Malaysia

  • HQ Wisma MTT (Georgetown, Penang): Situated in the vibrant capital city of Penang, Georgetown, HQ Wisma MTT is part of a drive by International Workplace Group to meet the spiking demand for top-class flexible working space in the area. The 1,239 square metre (sqm) spans across levels 11 and 12 provides space for established firms and start-ups across a range of industries. This location marks the debut of the HQ brand in Penang and expands IWG’s presence in the state to six centres.
  • Regus Wisma Hamzah Kwong Hing (Downtown KL): Covering 867 sqm at Lebuh Ampang in KL’s historic commercial hub, this centre offers unmatched transit accessibility adjacent Medan Pasar and Masjid Jamek LRT Station. Opening on 1 November, it connects professionals to central financial and cultural districts.
  • HQ Megan Salak Park (Salak South, KL): Set within a thriving mixed-use district in southern Kuala Lumpur, this location offers cost-effective, European-designed workspaces. It provides seamless access to the KL-Seremban Expressway and nearby LRT stations, serving local SMEs and growing enterprises.
  • HQ Menara Summit (Subang Jaya, Selangor): Located on Persiaran Kewajipan steps from Summit USJ, this centre provides flexible office solutions within a major commercial hub. It offers direct connectivity to the Taipan Business Centre, Subang Jaya KTM/LRT station and major expressways.

Together, these centres expand IWG’s portfolio in Malaysia to a total of 53 centres across its Signature, HQ, Regus, and Spaces brands. The expansion aligns seamlessly with Malaysia’s national push toward workplace modernisation. According to recent data from KESUMA and TalentCorp, over 5,340 organizations in Malaysia have implemented Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) since 2021, benefiting 1.6 million workers, with 62% of employers reporting measurable productivity gains.

Christian Schmitz, CEO of International Workplace Group PLS, commented: “We are establishing a stronger and much-needed footprint in Malaysia with these latest openings. As an important business hub, Malaysia is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans. Our openings in Malaysia come 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. Our workplace model is proven to increase productivity and allows for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs while providing access to thousands of locations.”

As the ongoing shift towards more flexible, decentralised and hybrid models of working accelerates, the potential for further growth is exponential with an estimated 1.2 billion white collar workers globally and a total addressable market of more than $2 trillion. In 2025, IWG signed 1,132 new locations, 99% of which are partnership agreements, and counts 83% of Fortune 500 companies among its customer base.
