• Hongkong Land’s Centricity Flex targets financial & professional services firms who value workplace wellness, as occupancy reaches over 90%

    27 February 2023

    (27 February 2023, Hong Kong) Hongkong Land’s Centricity Flex has reached over 90% occupancy of its 25,000 sq. ft workspace, as the group continues to innovate and deliver value to its tenants.  Launched in 2021 and occupying the entire 17th and 18th floors of Edinburgh Tower in Central, Hong Kong, Centricity Flex caters to companies who value health and wellness as well as a flexible office environment in Central, close to their clients.

    Since launch, Centricity Flex has attracted a diverse mix of financial and professional services tenants including Discover Financial Services, Toscafund and Argyll Scott, who all share the same commitment to sustainability as Hongkong Land. 

    Centricity Flex is one of the components of the Centricity platform, which is a collection of spaces and services in the heart of Central to enhance and ease the working life of Hongkong Land tenants. Centricity Flex offers meeting rooms of different sizes equipped with smart screens, private work pods, an open work area and event space.  It also includes a café curated by the Executive Chef of Centricity, formally from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, serving healthy and sustainable food options, and a wellness zone that features an all-day meditation room and a private room for new mothers.  More than 200 meditation and yoga workshops have been held since launch, all booked digitally through Hongkong Land’s exclusive Centricity app offering seamless convenience, connectivity and privileges for the Group’s tenants in Central.

    Mr. Paul Bennett, Head of Centricity, Hongkong Land, said: “Centricity Flex has proven extremely popular among existing and new clients.  For new tenants with smaller teams, it offers a way to enter Central and Hongkong Land’s ecosystem before opting for a long-term tenancy as their firm grows.  Long-term tenants in our portfolio use the facilities for corporate functions and short term space needs.

    “The full re-opening of all borders between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong SAR is expected to further drive demand for flexible working space in the city as we welcome more business travellers and experience increased demand from firms located in the GBA and around the world.  Centricity Flex is well equipped to meet this demand.  The
    workspace provides an agile, wellness focused and digitally enabled workplace on flexible leasing terms, ranging from one month to three years, enabling businesses to grow and adapt in a fast-changing world.”

    “Centricity Flex is the perfect alignment for our business,” says Matthew Sullivan, Head of Financial Services at Argyll Scott, a global recruitment business.  “It provides us with high quality office space that can accommodate our team in their day-to-day work, but also allows us access to meeting rooms where we can conveniently and privately host new clients and talent, all right in the heart of Central.  The exceptional F&B keeps both our clients and team happy, and the wellness activities and facilities on offer are highly appreciated and valued by our colleagues.  Hongkong Land’s attention to the small details makes all the difference for our business – it is, in effect, our centre of gravity.”

    “Our focus on employee wellness is often the deciding factor. We are proud to be the only flexible workspace operator in Hong Kong to receive WELL Platinum certification, the highest level possible, by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI),” said Bennett.

    Edinburgh Tower is one of the prime office buildings in Hongkong Land’s Central Portfolio linked via a pedestrian bridge network to virtually all Grade A buildings in Central. Housing preeminent financial institutions and professional services firms, Edinburgh Tower also hosts The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.

    The WELL Building Standards focus on enhancing health and well-being through a performance-based certification system that marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based scientific research. The WELL Platinum certification is based on 10 categories: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community.
