Ruby Workspaces expands due to growing demand

Ruby is proud to announce the expansion of two of its successful Ruby Workspaces, Ruby Leo in Munich and Ruby Carl in Dusseldorf. Originally introduced in 2017, Ruby Workspaces has become a highly sought-after product, offering much more than just offices and meeting rooms. The upcoming expansions reflect Ruby’s commitment to delivering a unique work environment designed for modern needs, blending functionality, creativity, and community spirit.

In most of our Ruby Workspaces, micro-offices are available, offering an unbeatable price-to-value ratio for individuals or small teams seeking high-quality spaces without the high costs. These micro-offices, ranging from 4.1 m² to 5.2 m², are fully equipped with ergonomic office furniture, including an adjustable chair, height-adjustable desk, sideboard, daylight lamps, and desk lamps. This makes them ideal for those looking for a compact, private, and efficient workspace. Each Ruby Workspace is designed to inspire, featuring interiors that evoke the ambiance of a lifestyle boutique hotel. The spaces are thoughtfully curated with vintage furnishings, custom wall coverings, and flexible, atmospheric lighting that enhances both creativity and comfort. Additionally, each location has its own unique design concept, creating a distinct atmosphere that contributes to a motivating work environment.

A strong emphasis on fostering a vibrant, creative community is also a key aspect of Ruby Workspaces. Through communal kitchens and shared dining areas, members are encouraged to connect, while regular networking events create opportunities for collaboration and inspiration. In addition to the communal areas, Ruby Workspaces offer creatively designed spaces tailored to support the various stages of the creative process. Retreat areas are furnished with lounge furniture and equipped with musical instruments, ensuring every detail is considered to help members achieve their best work. Meeting rooms come fully equipped with facilitation tools to support brainstorming sessions, presentations, and collaborative work.

Ruby’s dedication to hospitality is embedded in its DNA. The hand-selected, specially trained on-site teams ensure that the workspaces function seamlessly, offering a high-quality service. Furthermore, Ruby Workspaces provide an all-inclusive experience that covers utilities, premium infrastructure, and additional perks such as premium barista coffee, and regular networking and music events - all designed to create a productive and enjoyable working environment.

Fabian Zellinger, Vice President Corporate Development, Systems & New Ventures, commented: [i"Since we first introduced Ruby Workspaces in 2017, the demand for flexible office solutions has grown steadily, particularly in cities like Munich and Dusseldorf. These locations stand out for their high demand and active business communities. Expanding Ruby Leo and Ruby Carl not only addresses this demand but also reflects our commitment to offering quality and flexibility in two of our most important markets. Munich, home to our corporate offices, is especially significant for us, while Dusseldorf has proven to be a key hub for a dynamic and engaged audience"[/i]
