Awfis partners with CBRE, leases 64,000+ Sq. Ft. Flex Space for WayCool Foods in Bangalore and Chennai
Facilitated exclusively by CBRE, WayCool has partnered with Awfis to setup one of its kind office space with several design innovations including a state-of-the-art experience centre, robotics labs and premium retail lounge among others.
Awfis, India’s largest integrated workspace solutions provider, has partnered with CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd, India’s leading real estate consulting firm, and WayCool foods, India’s largest and fastest growing agri-commerce enterprise. In the first phase of this partnership, Awfis has leased 64,000 square feet to WayCool across Chennai and Bengaluru.
Awfis will bring its expertise of catering to highly specialised and customized requirements of companies and make pioneering design innovations for WayCool’s new offices in Bangalore & Chennai. Some of these extraordinary provisions include hi-tech Robotics, Mechanical, IoT and Electrical Labs, a premium hypermarket setup for its range of products, a discussion lounge with showcase pantry, a state-of-the-art experience centre with high-end retail display, a studio space and a dedicated sprawling setup for town halls, employee recreation and collaboration which includes a library and a display wall for employee artwork.
The design and aesthetics of these offices is a proof to the growing focus of new-age companies towards creating multi-dimensional, interactive, and rewarding office spaces for employees returning back to physical workplaces after a prolonged period of working from home. Offices like this promise to ignite the creativity and enhance the motivation levels of employees, making the transition back to offices a fulfilling experience.
