IWG opens a Regus workspace in the fast-changing nation, leading the global trend for flexible and mobile working
IWG – the world’s leading provider of flexible workspace – has opened up shop in the Dominican Republic, one of the fastest-evolving nations in the Caribbean and Latin America.
Regus Roble Corporate Centre has launched in the island’s dynamic capital of Santo Domingo, offering even more choice for Regus members – who can make use of any of the network’s 3,000 Regus centres across 900 cities in more than 120 countries around the globe.
Regus Roble Corporate Centre brings entrepreneurs cutting-edge flexible office space in the heart of the island’s capital. IWG’s Dominican Republic debut occupies a sleek glass tower on Winston Churchill Avenue – the city’s main commercial road.
With the vibrant Piantini district on its doorstep, members can pop into the Acrópolis Center Shopping Mall across the road, stop by the Palacio del Cine cinema after work, or relax amid the tranquility of the nearby Forest of Life Park. Easily accessible from Las Americas International Airport, the space is a five-minute bus ride from the nearest subway and suburban train stations.
Clients have 24-hour access to all manner of contemporary, workspace arrangements - private offices, bookable meeting rooms and co-working space (all of them temperature-controlled, and with high-speed Wi-Fi). Regus Roble Corporate Centre also has an on-site café, secure underground parking and friendly staff on hand to support members with whatever they need.
Over the past five years, the Dominican Republic has enjoyed an average of 5.1% economic growth – the second-highest in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Tourism, agriculture, mining and textile production have traditionally been the backbone of industry in the nation. But growing investment is transforming the island into a production, gaming and data hub for the LAC region.
The Dominican Republic is gaining momentum as a hot location for film and TV production, fuelled by the 25% break it allows for international productions. Currently, 25 films are made on the island each year, with the BBC and Netflix choosing to shoot series here recently.
The government’s focus on improving business infrastructure and empowering local entrepreneurs will be a further catalyst for growth. Not only will international talent increasingly flock to the Dominican Republic for short-term projects, but its entrepreneurial climate will benefit from the island-wide 5G connection that’s reportedly in the pipeline.
All of these things create the right conditions for a flexible working culture. And IWG is ahead of the curve and ready to welcome local companies and entrepreneurs – as well as travelling Regus customers, who can call any Regus Centre in the world their office.
The Dominican Republic is on the brink of a coworking boom. IWG’s presence brings the expertise and signature service it’s known for, making mobile working possible in another exciting destination as part of the group’s ever-expanding network of flexible office space.
