SINGAPORE [8 OCTOBER 2024] – OrangeTee & Tie (OrangeTee), Singapore’s leading proptech agency, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with JustCo, Asia’s leading flexible workspace provider, on 27 September 2024 at the BMW Eurokars Experience Centre. 

The collaboration further opens doors to creating more opportunities for OrangeTee’s property advisers, enabling them to thrive and deliver greater value to their clients. There will be a series of seminars hosted by JustCo, focusing on the latest trends within the coworking space industry. These seminars would equip OrangeTee agents with valuable insights to better serve their clients who are interested in flexible office solutions.

This partnership aims to benefit the property advisers focusing on the commercial client sector as they delve deeper into the industry insights of the office leasing sector in Singapore. Beyond knowledge sharing, the property advisers will also have access to JustCo’s network of coworking centres across the Asia Pacific to get first-hand experience of the benefits of coworking spaces such as networking opportunities, greater flexibility, and access to a wide range of amenities.

Justin Quek, CEO of OrangeTee, shared his excitement for the partnership, saying, “This partnership goes beyond business. It empowers our property advisers to provide more comprehensive and flexible solutions to their clients, aligning with the evolving needs of modern workspaces. By offering JustCo’s vibrant and collaborative environments, our agents can help clients find the ideal spaces for their different business requirements.”

OrangeTee’s property advisers can enjoy a range of perks as part of the partnership. This includes preferential rates for JustCo’s membership plans which will give them access to over 40 JustCo centres in Singapore and APAC. With the flexibility to work from anywhere, JustCo’s membership is a dynamic alternative to support their business needs and provides them with opportunities to network and collaborate within the larger commercial community.

Kong Wan Long, Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of JustCo said, “Partnering with OrangeTee expands our agency network, allowing us to work with experts who thoroughly understand the property market in Singapore. This will allow us to tap into a wider base of potential clients, providing them with greater access to premium coworking spaces that foster productivity and collaboration. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to making workspaces more accessible and empowering businesses of all sizes to thrive in an environment tailored to their needs.”

JustCo has the largest footprint in Singapore with 20 coworking spaces in the Central Business District, East and West regions, including the prestigious Marina One office development and Changi Airport Terminal 3. From January to September 2024, JustCo experienced a 20% increase in enquiries compared to the same period in 2023, highlighting a growing demand for coworking spaces in Singapore. Earlier this year, JustCo also opened a new centre at Hong Leong Building and 108 Robinson Road.

As the leading coworking brand in Asia Pacific, JustCo has more than 40 locations across the region namely Australia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. JustCo recently opened a new location in Seoul at Noon Square; Melbourne at the iconic Emporium Melbourne shopping centre; and Bangkok at One City Centre.

Chipson Ma, one of the long-service property advisers with OrangeTee since 2000, also shared his perspective saying, “Founded in 2000, OrangeTee has empowered property advisers with cutting-edge technology for over two decades. Tools like our online agent portal (Work@Home) and AgentApp allow agents to work seamlessly from anywhere. Our partnership with JustCo further enhances flexibility, providing agents access to coworking spaces they can also market to clients. This added convenience elevates the value of our services.”

The partnership with JustCo is the latest to be announced by the proptech leader. Only recently, OrangeTee also partnered with automotive technology solutions, Motorist, which allowed OrangeTee clients to gain more leverage on their personal vehicle via Motorist while allowing agents and their clients to have access to various perks from the Motorist Premium membership. This includes car refinancing options to reduce their clients’ TDSR and improve their property loan eligibility.

In mid-September, OrangeTee was also the presenting sponsor for The Home Expo 2024 which brought together more than 12,000 property agents, homeowners, industry experts, and exhibitors to the Suntec City Singapore Exhibition and Convention Centre.
