First KZN Workshop17 flexible workspace launches in Ballito in May
Keursten emphasises the expanded choices available to individuals in today's work landscape

As the North Coast population continues to grow, so too does its flexible workspace offering.
Part ongoing trend, part Covid-19 holdover, flexible workspaces are here to stay and are increasingly popular among the next generation of the office-based workforce.
National brand, Workshop17, will open its first KwaZulu-Natal office at the Ballito Junction in May, joining a series of established workspaces between Umhlali and Ballito.
Together they offer everything from a hot desk with multiple users, to private offices and access to boardrooms.
“Since Covid, Ballito has grown to become an all-year round attractive place to live,” said Workshop17 founder, Paul Keursten.
“We believe that Workshop17 fits the work lifestyle that professionals in Ballito are looking for – choosing flexible workspace solutions over traditional office space.”
Ballito will be the company’s tenth workspace between South Africa and Mauritius.

And it’s not the only international brand with offices in Ballito, as the world largest hybrid workspace provider, the International Workspace Group (IWG), set up a location in 2022.
Branded as Regus, the IWG offices are situated in Ingenuity Park in the Ballito Business Park.
According to statistics provided by IWG, the company opened 867 new offices globally in 2023, almost double their 2022 growth.
It shows the level to which hybrid work has become sought after by office workers.
What national and international brands also offer, is a chance to find a workspace when travelling.
IWG and Workshop17 both offer plans for reciprocal access at their other locations, allowing for ease of business in a way that traditional offices simply cannot.
“Individuals have more choice now on where and how they work than ever before,” said Keursten.
Workspace options begin at around R1 250 per month.
