The Bureau, UAE’s first female-focussed co-working space, opens in Dubai
The Bureau offers an array of cosy and beautifully designed spaces, including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working lounges, as well as a podcast studio and phone booths. On the personal front, there is a fitness studio, NAŌ, a pumping room for new mothers, and a vanity room with showers and lockers. Further, the in-house cafe, Jones the Grocer, will be serving a plethora of coffees, snacks, and healthy mains. Both the fitness studio and cafe are open to members and non-Bureau members.
Rhea Patel, founder, said: “I have always been a big believer that a good workspace is the key to productivity, and the first step towards a happier work life. Everyone has varied work styles and preferences, and it is important to cater to diverse profiles. Some may seek motivation in the form of community, some find it in great design, and others by adaptable work solutions. We have really taken the time to understand customer needs, to the extent that we even have a pumping room for breastfeeding mothers. Our goal was to create something that truly enhances lifestyles, and creating good energy and culture is at the core of our purpose.”
The Bureau is far more than a workspace or an office solution. This unique co-working space is centred around housing and building communities of people who believe in life-long learning, sharing experiences, and supporting one another.
Providing truly purposeful networking and growth opportunities, the space offers an array of events and mentorship programs, including traditional and reverse mentorship, industry-specific matches, and more. Topics and themes include financial empowerment, women’s mental and physical health, and a taboo talks series. Ahead of its opening, The Bureau has already built a strong network of Founding Members, entrepreneurs, freelancers, and corporate partnerships, who are set to support and share their experience with The Bureau community.
