SPACES Beach Street, George Town

SPACES, George Town, Penang (20 November 2019)


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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
