We have the pleasure of providing access to Koba’s sustainable office space and workspace solutions.
Koba was established in 2022 by a team of property professionals with extensive experience in the flexible office and service industries.
Koba’s mission is to create evidence-based sustainable workspaces that are beautiful, better for its members and the planet, and with ‘zero greenwash’.
Koba offers space for teams looking for between 2 and 200 desks. Its first location, Barbirolli Square in Manchester, launched in December 2024, and further locations will open in 2025 and beyond.
Koba is on a mission to redefine flexible workspaces by embedding sustainability, health and well-being into every element and building environments that foster productivity and balance.
It has already been commended for its work at its first location. In April 2024, the WELL Coworking rating established by the Instant Group and International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) recognised Koba as offering Manchester’s healthiest workspace.
The rating is based on 50 factors, including air and water quality, lighting, thermal comfort, movement and nourishment for its members.
Before launching, it developed a foundation of sustainability by working with a cross-section of partners to create a sustainable, evidence-based, ESG-considered space without greenwashing.
It is proud to be radically transparent in all of its operations with an emphasis on circularity where its materials never become waste through maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and composting.
Koba’s energy is renewable, and it offsets responsibly and meaningfully in a drive to create net zero carbon.
For the health of its members, it offers yoga and pilates classes and curates environments full of biophilia. It also rigorously monitors its indoor air quality.
Koba aims to be a pioneer within the flexible workspace industry by collaborating with industry and academia and working on an open-source model. This enables it to share its lessons learned with the broader industry to speed up the meaningful, scalable impact that the wider community will benefit from.
Members and visitors can experience some of Koba’s mission’s results as soon as they enter the property.
They are greeted by the reception worktop provided by Foresso, which is made from trees felled in Britain and hand-finished in Birmingham. It includes waste products from its partners at Forest & Maker, who create bespoke, sustainably sourced timber furniture.
The manufacturing is powered by an on-site solar farm. All materials are sourced locally in the UK, and no single-use plastics are used.
Eagle-eyed visitors will also note that demountable walls are used instead of disposable partitions, meaning minimal waste is produced when a member wishes to change the size or format of their office.
Koba insists that items such as carpets and furniture be taken back, refurbished, and reused when they become no longer useful for them and will only work with providers that will do so.
Koba is a proud UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) member and a pending B-certified corporation.
