“Live + Work” at a Rental Apartment with an Integrated Shared Office: 'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' Opens April 1st – A 24-Hour Shared Office in a Shopping Street, 2 Minutes from Hatanodai Station

WOOC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hirohisa Shimizu; hereinafter 'WOOC'), which operates the BIZcomfort coworking space and rental office brand, will open 'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

This facility is a shared office invited into the tenant space of a new rental apartment building under the 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' brand, developed by Obayashi Shinseiwa Real Estate Corporation, with the goal of increasing the apartment's appeal to prospective tenants. By offering special benefits to apartment residents, the initiative adds the value of a 'place to work' to the functions of a home.

Initiatives to Improve Rental Apartment Appeal

With the diversification of work styles, including remote work and side jobs, there is an increasing demand for places outside the home where one can concentrate on work. Against this backdrop, cases of coworking spaces or shared workspaces being integrated into rental apartments are becoming more common, particularly in urban areas.

'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' is a shared office located in the tenant space of the 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' rental apartment brand developed by Obayashi Shinseiwa Real Estate. 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' is a brand based on the concept of adding 'plus' value to rental apartments, and this facility was introduced to improve convenience for residents and enhance the property's appeal.

Apartment residents can receive special benefits, such as waived BIZcomfort membership fees and discounts on monthly usage fees, allowing them to use the space as a place to focus on work or study outside their homes.

*1 Non-residents can also use the facility after registering as members.

A Shared Office in Front of Hatanodai Station

'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' is located just a 2-minute walk from Hatanodai Station on the Tokyu Ikegami and Oimachi lines. As a 24-hour workspace, it supports various needs such as telework, study, and side jobs.

Leveraging its proximity to the station, the environment is designed for easy use in daily life, such as before or after commuting or on the way home from work. It is intended for a wide range of users, including not only apartment residents but also local business professionals and students*2.

*2 Not available to high school students (until the end of March after reaching 18 years of age).

Future Outlook

WOOC will continue to expand its shared office network...
