Common Ground

Co-founded by Erman Akinci and Juhn Teo, Common Ground is Malaysia's largest leading coworking space that prides itself on not just being a communal workspace but building a sustainable and integrated coworking community. Common Ground is redefining workspaces by creating a lifestyle that resonates with today's workforce and creating a vibrant ecosystem of like-minded people. With the tagline "Ambition Lives Here", Common Ground attracts today's go-getters. The coworking space connects the community through a members' portal and app called the Ambition Engine, which allows members to keep up to date on what's happening within the community across all the venues. Aside from weekly social events, the members benefit from services provided by Common Ground's lifestyle partners, such as memberships at Fitness First and F45, grocery shopping perks with Happy Fresh, fulfilling laundry needs with Pressto and and much more. Since launching in March 2017, the game-changing business has since acquired over 1,000 members across five venues in the Klang Valley (Damansara Heights, Mont Kiara, TTDI, Bukit Bintang & Ara Damansara). It plans to open 12 venues by the end of 2018 across Malaysia, as well as regionally in the Philippines and Thailand. Each Common Ground venue houses a café, event space, board room, several smaller meeting rooms, quiet lounges, and three formats of workspace - hot desking, fixed desking and private offices for two or more people. They also cater to larger clients with their Enterprise Solutions.
