change the way you work
a labour of love
The Working Capitol was born when co-founders Ben and Saranta Gattie decided to transform an old biscuit factory on Keong Saik Road into a unique coworking and lifestyle destination. This concept combines Ben’s passion for revitalising spaces with Saranta’s belief that a strong culture is needed to bind people and create community. “In creating The Working Capitol, we focused on bringing together elements that help companies scale. In today’s world, that means offering the right mix of professional services, programmes, and inspiring space designed for multiple modes of working. Together, these components create an environment that allows our members to create and nurture company culture while attracting and retaining top talent.”
our mission
To inspire growth and well-being for ourselves and the communities we support.
The Working Title
The Working Capitol was born when an old biscuit factory on Keong Saik Road was transformed into a unique coworking and lifestyle destination, combining Ben’s passion for revitalising spaces with Saranta’s belief that a strong culture is needed to bind people and foster a community.
The Working Capitol opened with the aim to challenge the conventional working life whilst empowering people to do their best work.

From Strength to Strength
We started strong, but we had to continue stronger; in numbers, in collaborations, and in partnerships.
Our member portfolio grew in and with confidence, we took on awe-inspiring projects and causes with our coworkers, and we built blossoming partnerships with neighbours from down the street on Keong Saik. The vision Ben & Saranta once conceived, The Working Capitol soon achieved.

The Lesson Within
Our most important year yet. It took us a move to a geographically disparate location to learn a lot about ourselves, and why we started The Working Capitol at all.
Glass towers made us feel good about ourselves, but The Working Capitol was never meant for “ourselves”, but for each other – our coworkers, our members, and our neighbours. We set out for collaborations through camaraderie, but found both slipping away very quickly.

To Greener Pastures
The deeper the foundation, the stronger the fortress, and we are relieved to be returning home to both in Keong Saik. Familiar faces from down the street give us renewed purpose each day, and coupled with our resolve from our mistakes learnt, we’re raring to go again.
This time, we’re not growing over our neighbours, we’re growing with them, and three newer buildings, all adjacent to our flagship in 1KS, have set us up to offer our members and neighbours more.

what we do
The Working Capitol has always been more than a Co-Working company. Our approach as a lifestyle brand utilizes a differentiated model of Real Estate, Office Space, Co-Working and F&B, positioning ourselves as true Neighbourhood Builders. Our efforts throughout the Keong Saik area have been instrumental in the transformation of the street which is now an acclaimed destination for lifestyle and F&B operators.
the company we keep
We have dedicated teams spearheading the necessary functions needed to keep The Working Capitol in the forefront of a unique coworking and lifestyle destination on Keong Saik Road, and indeed in Singapore. Through our team leaders’ expertise on what makes The Working Capitol and its members tick, we’ve been able to pamper and foster a team and community spirit unlike any other space and neighbourhood in the country.
