重磅 | 裸心社收购Gravity进军澳洲 Movin' on up: naked Hub acquires Gravity

一句话概括，Gravity就像澳大利亚版的裸心社，是东海岸高端联合办公空间领导者，为商业领袖、行业专家、创新者与企业家提供职场生活的新模式租赁。

Put simply, Gravity is Australia’s answer to naked Hub - a premium co-working space on Oz’s East Coast, providing a new lease of working life for business leaders, industry experts, innovators and entrepreneurs. 

自2014年Gravity成立以来，创始人Sergio Pires和Jacqui Esdaile就致力于拓展Gravity版图，在悉尼、墨尔本和布里斯班拥有设计感十足的5000平米空间，目前正积极筹备悉尼与墨尔本新店。

Since founding Gravity in 2014, owners Sergio Pires and Jacqui Esdaile have done anything but keep their feet on the ground, launching co-working spaces in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and currently negotiating to add to their existing 5000 square meters of beautifully designed space. 

Sergio Pires将带领原团队至裸心社麾下，出任裸心社澳大利亚首席执行官。谈及收购，裸心社首席执行官Jonathan Seliger表示：“此次交易是亚太地区两家有实力的联合办公创新者的强强联合，将为裸心社以后在亚太乃至全球的扩张打好基础。裸心社拥有的酒店服务经验、专利创新技术、屡获殊荣的设计和强大的社区建设，完美补充了Gravity为会员提供商业和生活融合一致的构想和承诺。”

Sergio Pires will captain the Gravity fleet Down Under as CEO Australia for naked Hub, while Jonathan Seliger, CEO, naked Hub, said of the acquisition, “This deal will bring together two proven innovators in the Asia-Pacific co-working space, and lays the groundwork for continued rollout across the region and the globe. naked Hub, with its hospitality background, proprietary technology, award-winning design, and strong communities, perfectly complements Gravity’s vision and its commitment to converging the worlds of business and lifestyle for the benefit of its members.”

在裸心社，我们看到越来越多的企业自然而然选择了联合办公。正如Statista数据表明的一样，联合办公产业正处于蓬勃发展的阶段，在2007年至2015年间以每年超过70%的速度保持增长，而2016年至2018年预计也将达到全球每年68%增长速度。在中国及海外投资者的支持下，裸心社自2015年开始高速扩张。

At naked Hub, we see co-working becoming a natural choice for more and more businesses, and we’ve got the Statista to back it up too. The co-working industry is booming, growing by over 70% annually from 2007 to 2015 and projected to grow another 68% annually from 2016 to 2018 globally, according to Statista. Since 2015, naked Hub has been growing at astronomical rates, with the support of investors in China and overseas.

并购Gravity不久前，裸心社收购上海联合办公空间品牌Raise乐活办公空间，也表明了进军伦敦市场的雄心，明年还会在亚洲新增40多个联合办公空间。

Ahead of partnering with Gravity, naked Hub also recently announced its acquisition of a Shanghai-based co-working operator, Raise, an ambitious market entry in London, as well as plans to add 40 new locations across Asia in the coming year.
