Regus opens its first business center in Chandler Regus, the world’s largest provider of flexible workplaces, continues to dominate the shared workspace sector as it expands across the United States into new cities. Chandler is the latest addition to the company’s growing network of business centers catering to the needs of mobile workers who need a professional place to drop in and work for an hour, day or more. The facility is located in the San Tan Corporate Center, 3100 W. Ray Rd., Chandler. “Our members can choose to use any of our workspaces depending on their specific needs,” explains Regus Regional Vice President Sande Golgart. “We offer a collaborative environment for professionals that work remotely or from home and want a place to connect with other business types. For some customers, dropping into our business lounge to catch up on emails works, while other clients will use our private offices when they need to hunker down and concentrate.” A surge in customer demand prompted Regus to move into the market. Several businesses from different industries are expanding in the city, signaling a strengthening economy. Easy access to the state’s
other major cities along with a high quality of life is also driving Chandler’s economic development. “Our customers enjoy the idea of meeting new people, networking and finding new opportunities. Individuals who were once working in a noisy coffee shop are thrilled we are here,” Golgart says. Flexible working is rapidly becoming a common work practice as technology enables workers to conduct business from anywhere. Regus has more than 20 centers throughout the region that clients can use, resulting in a shorter commute and better work-life balance. Each Regus location features offices, virtual offices, meeting rooms, video conferencing and an administrative staff. Regus’ global footprint and scalability allows companies to enter new markets and expand without being locked into long-term leases. The company is projected to have 2,000 locations globally by the end of the year. Founded in Brussels, Belgium, in 1989, Regus is based in Luxembourg and listed on the London Stock exchange.
