KUALA LUMPUR, 10 NOVEMBER 2026 – International Workplace Group (IWG), the world’s largest platform for work with brands including HQ and Regus, announced today the four new state-of-the-art flexible workplaces: HQ Wisma MTT, Regus Wisma Hamzah Kwong Hing, alongside HQ Megan Salak Park and HQ Menara Summit, both set to open in December 2026. With the long-term shift to more flexible ways of working, IWG is expanding its network to keep pace with rising demand across Malaysia.
The addition of International Workplace Group’s latest location in Malaysia comes right after the business posting its highest-ever revenue, cash flow and earnings growth in its history and achieving rapid network growth, signing a record 728 new locations globally in the first half of 2026, and taking its global network to more than 6,000 signed locations across more than 120 countries.
IWG’s capital-light growth is powering the vast majority of its expansion, with 95% of these locations being delivered via managed partnership agreements. The model enables property owners and investors to generate higher returns from their buildings, while allowing IWG to grow its global network quickly and efficiently.
