look at Johannesburg&#8217;s cool new subscription-based shared office space"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday,\u00a0Grapnel Property Group opened the doors of their first Perch Co-Working Space in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Located on\u00a037 Bath Avenue, just outside the Rosebank Mall, the office is within walking distance of both Jan Smuts Avenue and Oxford Road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very excited about this new business and cannot wait for Johannesburg and the rest of the country to engage and experience it,&#8221; said Justin Bass of Perch Rosebank.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Perch Rosebank will be the ultimate work space not only for those looking for a dynamic working environment, but also for those looking to meet people to collaborate with in existing and new work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>What is co-working?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perch explained that co-working spaces allow people to become nomadic workers and have a\u00a0non-committal relationship with their work spaces.<\/p>\n<p>People are welcome to &#8220;pop-in&#8221; and collaborate with fellow professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last couple of years, co-working has grown to attract the attention of established businesses and corporates, to the point that in the USA alone, about 50% of co-working space members are employed professionals,&#8221; said Perch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of this growth has been in response to the need for entrepreneurship within organisations, thanks to startups setting a new tone of business worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Pricing and services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perch Rosebank is accessible to a membership community who subscribe on a monthly basis, and it is also open to walk-ins through day passes and week passes.<\/p>\n<p>The membership costs R3,200 per month, while day and weekly passes are R250 and R1,000 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The premises are open five days a week, from 8:00am to 5:00pm and include high speed Wi-Fi, office services like printing, locker facilities and ample parking space.<\/p>\n<p>Users of Perch Rosebank will have access to hideaway private work spaces, state of the art meeting rooms with video conferencing facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The company also said that it plans to add biometric access, which will allow for members to use the premises for up to 24 hours a day, including weekends.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a coffee shop on the premises, serving beverages and light meals.<\/p>\n<p><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"
