SPACES (GPS: 5.41859, 100.34328) is a co-working space on Beach Street in George Town, Penang. It occupies the ground and mezzanine floors of the building formerly known as the Standard Chartered Bank Building.
SPACES is the premium brand of International Workplace Group plc (IWG), a multinational serviced office space provider. It satisfies the growing need for serviced office space from start-up businesses and the digital community. SPACES Beach Street offers 1508 square meters of space, with an outsourced café on the ground floor. Tenants may occupy co-working office spaces of various sizes, ranging from dedicated workstations in communal environments to self-contained office suites with executive cubicles.
The renovations carried out on the former Standard Chartered Building is sympathetic to its original architectural elements. This includes the rustication on the front façade with its prominent barrel vaults, or arches which are visible even from the working space inside. The interior stucco is restored and preserved, as are the bank safety vaults, which are now readapted as serviced office suites.
The opening of SPACES Beach Street was held on 20 November, 2019, and was officiated by the Chief Minister of Penang, the right honourable Chow Kon Yeow, with popular newscaster Owen Yap being the master of ceremony.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
