CENTRAL PERK
One element of what Regus calls Solo’s circulation space is meant to evoke an indie coffee house

Located in Burnaby’s Solo District, this office is designed around community

Regus Group, based in Atlanta, provides furnished workspaces for rent in more than 3,000 business centres worldwide. The company’s year-old facility at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway in Burnaby offers traditional private offices, but the focus is on communal and coworking space.

LOCKED AND LOADED
Reserved coworking desks (front left, with glass dividers) come with lockers to store belongings outside of work hours plus the same 24/7 access to all amenities as Regus clients who rent private offices

NO FIXED ADDRESS
Open coworking space, which can be rented for as little as an hour a day, allows access to all communal seating and amenities during business hours only

CAN WE TALK?
