“Live + Work” in a Rental Apartment with an Attached 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), operator of the BIZcomfort coworking space and rental office brand, will open 'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' on April 1, 2026 (Wednesday).

This facility is a shared office integrated into the tenant space of a new rental apartment building under the 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' brand, developed by Obayashi Shinseiwa Real Estate Corporation. The initiative aims to enhance the appeal of the rental apartments by adding the value of a 'workspace' to the residential functions, including special usage benefits for apartment residents.

Initiatives to Enhance Rental Apartment Appeal

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

'BIZcomfort Hatanodai East Exit' is a shared office invited into the tenant space of the 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' rental apartment brand. 'PLANÉ SOCIE⁺' is a brand concept focused on adding 'plus' value to rental apartments, and this facility was introduced to improve convenience for residents and increase the property's appeal.

Apartment residents can receive 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 of their homes.

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

Shared Office Located 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. The facility 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 (under 18 years old as of the end of March).
