Works by Scentre Group

Works by Scentre Group is a prominent flexible workspace provider, an initiative by Scentre Group, which owns and operates an extensive portfolio of Westfield destinations across Australia and New Zealand. Launched in 2021, this entity was conceived to meet the evolving demands of the modern workplace, providing flexible office solutions integrated within the vibrant ecosystems of Westfield Living Centres. The first Westfield Works site successfully opened in 2021 in Sydney, strategically located at 100 Market Street, adjacent to Westfield Sydney. The business operates under the management of Boutique Concepts, leveraging Scentre Group's vast experience in property and retail management.

The core offering of Works by Scentre Group encompasses a comprehensive range of flexible workspace solutions designed for various business needs. These include private offices, shared coworking spaces, hot desks, and state-of-the-art meeting rooms, capable of accommodating individuals, startups, and larger organisations. Members benefit from a suite of communal amenities such as fully equipped meeting rooms, quiet zones, and a shared, stocked kitchen, all designed to foster focus, collaboration, and productivity. The spaces are characterised by intelligent design, often featuring earthy tones and greenery, to create a refreshing and inspiring work environment. Best-in-class technology, including wireless screen sharing and universal video conferencing, ensures seamless operations for all members.

What truly differentiates Works by Scentre Group is its unique integration within the Westfield Living Centre network. This strategic positioning provides members with unparalleled convenience and access to an array of amenities beyond the typical office environment. These include world-class shopping, diverse dining options, seamless public transport connectivity, and ample onsite or nearby parking. This approach creates a networked, decentralised office solution, allowing businesses to leverage the extensive services and vibrant community of a major retail hub. The presence of a dedicated onsite concierge team further enhances the experience, assisting with everything from tailored event requirements to general support. This co-location strategy redefines the traditional coworking experience, blending professional productivity with lifestyle convenience.

The initial strategy and concept development for Works by Scentre Group were spearheaded by Sergio Pires and Adam Lodge, guiding Scentre Group's foray into flexible workspaces. While Scentre Group's broader executive leadership, including CEO Elliott Rusanow, oversees the overarching company strategy, the 'Works' initiative is a testament to the Group's commitment to adapting to evolving work patterns. Scentre Group itself has a strong internal focus on flexible working arrangements for its own staff, reflecting a deep understanding of the benefits of adaptability in the modern professional landscape. The successful launch in 2021 and plans for further expansion underscore the strategic importance of flexible workspaces within Scentre Group's vision for future-focused 'Living Centres'.
