Watchpoints 2025-2026
Occupancy
Hybrid-work demand durability
Thai corporate hybrid-work adoption is more conservative than Singapore or US markets. HUBBA's occupancy depends on freelancer and startup demand sustaining desk-fill rates against lower post-COVID corporate flex expansion.
Competition
IWG and JustCo scale advantage
International chains can offer enterprise clients multi-location access agreements and professional services that independent operators cannot match. HUBBA must win on community quality and event programming, not price or scale.
Nomad
Digital nomad and LTR demand
BOI's Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa programme targeting remote workers and digital nomads is a structural tailwind for coworking demand. HUBBA-TO's nomad product is positioned to capture this segment.
