Particularly, the space has witnessed high occupancy rates in private offices and dedicated desks, catering not only to women-centric individuals but also attracting families and individuals transitioning to remote work models. The shift towards a 'work near home' trend emphasizes the space's strategic location and appeal to professionals seeking a blended work environment.
