Why corporates choose flexible office spaces at Workshop17 Mauritius

Across the world, corporates are rethinking how they work and Mauritius is right there with them. Hybrid work is now the norm, teams are expanding faster than expected, and traditional long-term leases simply cannot keep up. According to the JLL Flexible Space Outlook, 56% of companies are reducing their traditional office footprint in favour of more flexible workspace solutions.

This shift is exactly why Workshop17 Mauritius has become the leading choice for flexible office space in Mauritius. With private office solutions for 2 to 100+ seats, W17 offers corporates a modern, scalable and fully serviced office environment designed to help large teams grow with confidence.

Flexibility for large, fast-growing teams: Scalable office space in Mauritius

Growth is exciting… until your office can’t keep up. One month you’re onboarding five new people, the next you’re launching a whole new department. That’s exactly why corporates choose Workshop17. Your space grows with you, not against you.

Corporate teams expand quickly, and Workshop17 makes it easy for your workspace to evolve at the same pace. Whether you need a private office for two people or a custom setup for 40, 65, 80 or more than 100 employees, W17 adapts as your business scales. Teams like Hawksford, Colbert Holdings, vatIT, Synergy 360 and ER Property have all expanded within W17 without disruption.

Here, flexibility is built in. No rigid footprints. No long lease lock-ins. If your headcount changes, your office can change too. Every layout is designed with efficiency in mind, around 5 square metres per person instead of the 10 to 15 typically required in a traditional office. The result is a smarter, more cost-effective workspace where corporates often save 30–40% compared to traditional leases.

And Workshop17 fully managed fit-out service. Our team handles the design, furniture, IT setup and final touches. There is no capital outlay and no contractor management. You arrive, set down your laptop and the space simply works. This flexibility gives corporates the ability to scale quickly, confidently and without administrative hurdles.

What corporates say about working at Workshop17 Mauritius

vatIT: A stimulating workspace that supports wellbeing

“We have around 65 employees, soon 70, and W17 has created a beautiful workspace that truly supports wellbeing and mindset. It makes networking easier and feels stimulating. There is always something new, fun and surprising happening in the space.” - Stuart Hancock, Group Managing Director, vatIT

 

Colbert Holdings: Smooth expansion & a welcoming community

“Our choice to come here made sense from day one. We told the W17 team we were going to double or even triple in size and everything happened very smoothly. We connect in the kitchen, over coffee, or during their many events. The W17 community really is vibrant and inviting.” - Ruvani Ramassawmy, Head of Sales, Colbert Holdings

 

ER Property: Fully serviced operations that let us focus

“When ENL and Rogers came together, we had to relocate hundreds of people. At W17, it took only a few weeks instead of months. Managing an office involves cleanliness, security, air conditioning, printers and connectivity, and companies often end up doing all this themselves. Here, everything is taken care of so we can focus on our core business.” - Johan Pilot, CEO, ER Property

 

Hawksford: A custom space that reflects our global identity

“As we grew, we wanted to keep Vivéa’s warm, convivial atmosphere while creating a space that reflects Hawksford worldwide. W17 welcomed the idea of customising our office. We also enjoy their events, from yoga and fitness classes to pottery and innovation workshops. It feels like being part of a family and gives us space to grow personally and professionally.” - Devina Mungroo, Senior Advisor, Hawksford

The W17 members platform keeps everything easy, from booking rooms to managing credits and staying connected with the wider W17 community.
