WorkPods – A New Era for Entrepreneurs Begins

The entrepreneurial journey is tough enough without the added stress of finding an affordable, functional space to operate from. This is where WorkPods – Community of Entrepreneurs steps in. Formerly known as “Storehouse” and later “Co. Space”, the Midrand-based business campus officially rebranded to WorkPods on 1 March 2025 – marking the beginning of a bold new chapter in supporting South Africa’s next generation of business leaders. Every entrepreneur needs space — not just to think and meet but to do.

Modular Work Environments

For those offering professional services, serviced offices are abundant. But for the creators, fixers, builders, makers, and movers, commercial space remains an expensive and inflexible obstacle. Most available options are simply too large, too costly, and demand long-term lease commitments – none of which align with the lean, dynamic needs of a start-up. Launched in 2016 after in-depth local and international research, the facility was purpose-built to meet the overlooked needs of hands-on entrepreneurs.

We offer modular, “business-ready” working spaces on a flexible month-to-month rental basis, all located within a secure, 24/7-accessible campus. Shared facilities include a business hub, coffee shop, outdoor relaxation zones, and ample on-site parking. We are more than just physical space – we are a community built on a shared spirit of growth, innovation and collaboration. Our rebrand to WorkPods reflects who we truly are a vibrant, inclusive, and practical space designed to help entrepreneurs thrive. We’re not just about desks and doors — we’re about connections, purpose-built environments, and shared success.

Why “WorkPods”?

The name WorkPods symbolizes everything we stand for:

• Pods are functional – just like the modular, ready-to-go spaces provided.
• Pods are communities – groups of individuals working together, inspiring each other.
