7 Newly Launched Co-Working Spaces In Klang Valley To Check Out—And Their Rates

And just like that, we find ourselves in February 2018. The initial drag that was January is now done with, and the pace at work and school is now red hot… before we break for Chinese New Year. With productivity in focus, urban professionals and serious students are always on the lookout for the ideal work environment.

To that end, we’ve compiled a list of some of the spanking new co-working spaces recently opened in the Klang Valley within the past two months, specially for those of you looking for a change of scenery and somewhere new to draw inspiration from.

Founded by two university friends, the space sports a modern cosy interior that smartly urban design elements to create a conducive work atmosphere.

Sandbox Space offers its clientele the options of entry via day-passes or monthly fixed desks, with residents receiving access to a variety of features such as 24/7 access, mail and package handling, app-based entry and exiting, and a rain shower for freshening up among others.

Sandbox also integrates its services within a dedicated app, enabling clients to communicate with a human admin that will listen to requests to turn up the heat if it gets too cold, or turn down the background music if gets too distracting.
