About Us

Most office or coworking spaces tend be very similar in terms of their architecture and décor. There is a mindset that office space requires a minimalistic desk, chair and a computer. The most you do to brighten up your work space is to add a few pictures or post-it’s. Ultimately leading to an uninspiring and boring workspace. At urban office we aim to break these shackles and think out of the box. You can choose a completely different workspace each day, with our multiple locations across the city. Since each restaurant that we turn into a coworking space, has its own character and theme, you get a different look, feel, décor and environment all together. With each restaurant set in a different neighborhood you never get bored.

While many of Shanghai’s coworking options cost over 4 to 5k a month, coworking in a restaurant provides an affordable alternative for remote workers and freelancers at just 35 RMB a day, which includes free Tea, coffee, Wifi and other basic amenities. In other words, restaurant coworking costs about the same as a cup of coffee and you get to use the space for the whole day. Urban Office also has various package options for access to all it’s location across the city at even more economical prices. Check our package options here “Link to package options”

Signing up for a co-working space or renting a small office space, ties you down to a particular location. High cost and a yearly contract discourages remote worker and freelancers to commit to single location.
