At WORQ, we believe that the best workplaces are not only places to sit and work — they are ecosystems where businesses grow faster, employees thrive, and communities connect. This is the philosophy behind WORQ Bandar Utama, located at KPMG Tower, directly connected to 1 Utama Shopping Centre.
While many companies are already aware of WORQ’s flexible model, there are unique aspects of our Bandar Utama location that make it a game-changer for both SMEs and corporates. Here are five things you might not know about WORQ Bandar Utama — and why they make it the perfect office for your company.
1. An Office Seamlessly Linked to One of Malaysia’s Largest Malls
Most offices promise accessibility, but WORQ Bandar Utama is literally plugged into a 5.59 million sq ft retail giant — 1 Utama Shopping Centre (Wikipedia, 1utama.com.my). With over 700 stores and 13,000 car parks, 1 Utama is Malaysia’s largest shopping destination. WORQ members enjoy a covered pedestrian bridge that connects them directly to this retail and lifestyle hub.
For employees, this means unmatched convenience for meals, errands, and after-work activities. For businesses, it adds prestige: meeting clients in an office next to one of Malaysia’s most iconic malls creates the right impression of accessibility and modernity.
This proximity is more than a perk — it’s part of a flight-to-quality trend, where corporates increasingly choose integrated hubs with retail and transit access. Net office absorption in Kuala Lumpur rose to 231,392 sq ft in Q2 2025, lowering vacancy rates to 19.2% as tenants flocked to high-quality integrated spaces (JLL).
2. Enterprise-Ready Facilities With Sky Terrace Access
WORQ Bandar Utama isn’t just another coworking space — it occupies part of KPMG Tower, a Grade A MSC Cybercentre-certified office tower. This translates into:
- Large floor plates (~30,000 sq ft) for enterprise setups.
- High-spec building management systems (district cooling, rainwater harvesting).
- Sustainable design that reduces utilities while supporting ESG goals.
Members also enjoy access to the Sky Terrace, which overlooks Bandar Utama and provides a unique breakout area. It’s a feature that enhances employee well-being while giving businesses a corporate-class facility usually reserved for large MNCs.
For SMEs, it means getting enterprise-grade quality without having to sign a long-term lease or absorb CAPEX costs. For larger corporates, it offers the ability to house project teams, innovation units, or regional divisions in a ready-to-use environment.
3. Wellness and Comfort Built Into the Workspace
At WORQ, we know productivity is tied directly to employee well-being. That’s why WORQ Bandar Utama integrates wellness-driven amenities you won’t find in most traditional offices:
- Sealy napping pods for restorative breaks.
- TT Racing ergonomic chairs designed for long hours of comfortable work.
- Massage chairs to help staff unwind and reduce stress.
One member shared their experience:
“WORQ Bandar Utama really surprised me with how comfortable it is to work here. The chairs are ergonomic, the nap pods are a lifesaver between long meetings, and the best part is that it’s directly connected to 1 Utama Mall. It feels like everything I need — work, food, even relaxation — is within reach. The staff are also really attentive, which makes the whole experience smoother.”
These touches make a significant difference in employee experience. A comfortable team is a productive team — and in the war for talent, such features help SMEs and corporates alike attract and retain top professionals.
The market is responding to this shift. Occupier surveys show 68% of professionals now prioritise health-focused office environments when choosing workplaces (Cushman & Wakefield). WORQ Bandar Utama’s wellness integration is therefore not just a lifestyle extra — it’s a competitive advantage.
4. A Suburban Powerhouse With Global Connectivity
Bandar Utama is not just a suburban address. Anchored by KPMG Tower, 1 Powerhouse, and Sri Pentas, it has emerged as a self-sustaining business ecosystem. The area is directly served by the Bandar Utama MRT station (Kajang Line), putting WORQ within 45 minutes of KLCC while offering a less congested alternative to central Kuala Lumpur.
For businesses, this means:
- Easy recruitment from the 850,000+ residents in Petaling Jaya and nearby suburbs.
- Seamless access for clients, suppliers, and staff through the MRT and highways.
- A professional ecosystem where corporates and SMEs operate side by side.
This aligns with broader Selangor office trends. While average occupancy in suburban Selangor has hovered around 78–79%, integrated hubs like Bandar Utama consistently outperform, thanks to their accessibility and ecosystem strength (The Edge Malaysia).
5. Flexible Suites That Scale With Your Business
Perhaps the most important differentiator: WORQ Bandar Utama offers enterprise suites, private offices, coworking zones, and event space all under one roof. Whether you’re an SME starting small or a corporate team expanding quickly, our model adapts to your size and budget.
- SMEs benefit from predictable monthly costs, avoiding upfront CAPEX.
- Corporates can use WORQ as a project office or regional hub, scaling up or down without the rigidity of a long-term lease.
- Community-driven programming ensures you’re not just renting space but tapping into networking, collaborations, and growth opportunities.
This flexibility is exactly what the market demands. Malaysia’s SMEs — which make up nearly 97.4% of all businesses — need agile solutions that reduce risk and improve speed-to-market (SME Corp Malaysia). WORQ Bandar Utama delivers that flexibility in a prestigious, mall-connected setting.
