THE HUB Redesigns Its Rental Office and Coworking Plans

The concept of “Good work begins at a good office” is now being realized by nex Corporation, a Tokyo-based company, through its flexible workspace known as THE HUB. On May 1, 2026, THE HUB will unveil a complete overhaul of its office rental and coworking plans, including a renaming of some services to better align with the evolving needs of remote and hybrid work styles.

Background of the Renovation

In recent years, the workplace landscape has transformed dramatically, embracing a mixed-location work model that combines in-office, remote, and external workspace use. With this change, the demand for efficient office utilization, characterized by “using the necessary space at the necessary time without wastage,” has surged. Traditional office contracts often posed challenges due to constraints related to costs and contract conditions, which limited flexibility. THE HUB is responding to these demands by introducing a more granular coworking plan, allowing users to select options based on frequency of use and area.

Key Highlights of the Renovation

The significant changes include the elimination of initial costs associated with rental offices, enabling potential tenants to enter this workspace without the burden of annual fees or setup costs. New contracts will facilitate an initial cost of zero, significantly reducing the financial strain when opening or relocating offices.

Additionally, rental office users will enjoy exclusive access to private offices and the ability to utilize over 500 partner workspace locations at no extra fee. This dual approach harmonizes having a physical office base with the flexibility of working from diverse locations throughout the country.

New offerings in the coworking segment, such as the “Kansai Plan,” “Weekend and Holiday Plan,” and “10-Hour Plan,” have been introduced to offer more choice based on user frequency and purpose, catering to daily users, weekend-only customers, and those wanting to test the waters.

The expansion of the partner network now allows access to approximately 1,800 workspaces nationwide, providing a comprehensive work environment that accommodates various needs, such as business trips, sales, and remote work.
