UAE OPENS FIRST PURPOSE-BUILT CO-WORKING SPACE FOR FEMALES: The Bureau, Gold & Diamond Park Dubai
The Bureau Business Center, a co-working space especially designed for women, recently opened at the Gold & Diamond Park in Dubai.
The purpose-built business center offers a welcoming and supportive atmosphere which promotes sharing of space, ambition and energy. The center’s layout is tastefully designed with private offices, meeting rooms, co-working lounges, podcast studio and phone booths. Complementary facilities include a pumping room for new mothers, vanity room with showers and lockers as well as a fitness studio and in-house café which are open to both members and non-Bureau members.
Rhea Patel, Co-Founder of The Bureau says, “I have always been a big believer that a good workspace is a key to productivity, and the first step towards a happier work life. Everyone has varied work styles and preferences, and it is important to cater to diverse profiles. Some may seek motivation in the form of community, some find it in great design, and others by adaptable work solutions. We have taken the time to understand customer needs, to the extent that we even have a pumping room for breastfeeding mothers. Our goal was to create something that truly enhances lifestyles, and creating good energy and culture is at the core of our purpose.”
Aside from providing workspace or office solutions, The Bureau also encourages building communities of people who believe in providing life-long learning, sharing of experiences, supporting and providing growth opportunities, whether through events, mentorship activities and related programs on financial empowerment, women’s mental and physical health and more.
Ms. Nikita, co-founder of The Bureau, adds: “With the way the world and workplaces have evolved post-pandemic, my sister and I believed this was the perfect time for a solution such as The Bureau. Our vision is to combine the convenience of your home. The Bureau is the first-of-its-kind in the UAE and the reception since we opened our doors has been overwhelmingly positive! The plan was never to build just one, once we perfect our model, our next step is to expand The Bureau across MENA, South Asia and beyond.”
The Bureau offers monthly and annual membership plans, short and long-term private office rental, social membership plans, student plans, and a day pass option.
