Regus Regus opens workspace on top floor of Sayeh Tower in Tehran
Flexible workspace provider Regus has opened its first location in Tehran with the aid of business services firm Edge Business Group. Regus Tehran occupies the top floor of the Sayeh Tower, close to major retail areas and Mellat Park. Regus aims to explore the “world’s largest untapped market”, with GDP growth in the region predicted to reach 4.5% by the end of 2017. With the addition of the Tehran site, Regus will have a location in 120 countries. Clients include Iran fashion e-commerce brand Modiseh and Emminence, Iran's largest consulting group.

Iranian companies and business visitors can now benefit from flexible work and meeting spaces in Tehran with the arrival of Regus. The international serviced office and meeting room provider launched its first flagship location in the Iranian capital in partnership with EDGE Business Group.

Regus Tehran is on the top floor of the Sayeh Tower, located on Valiasr Avenue – one of Tehran’s main thoroughfares and commercial centres. Benefits of the area include five-star hotels, top restaurants, banks and shopping centres in addition to Mellat (Nation) Park opposite the building.

Regus believes its centre will help meet the growing demand for world-class office space in what many business analysts call the world’s largest untapped market since the fall of the Soviet Union.

GDP growth in the MENA region’s second largest economy is expected to hit 4.5% by the end of the year, and as Iran’s economy continues to develop after the landmark nuclear deal in 2016, it is becoming an exciting market to consider for global brands.

With the addition of Iran to its global network, Regus now boasts a presence in 120 countries.

“It is exciting to see Regus coming to Iran and its presence there is testament to Iran being a thriving hub for business. Both local and international businesses will be able to benefit from this high-quality and ultra-modern workspace, whether they are looking to expand an existing business or start up a new one,” said Dr Mohsen Talaie, senior board advisor to Edge Business Group, Regus’s local partner in Iran.

Mark Dixon, chief executive of Regus, said: “Modern, dynamic businesses need to be able to work where they want and when they want, so I am very excited we are adding Iran to a growing global network. Whether you are a multi-national global corporation or a start-up, more than ever before you need flexibility, agility and the right location to succeed. Now firms in Iran or visitors can join over two million Regus customers who enjoy those benefits as part of our international network.”

Regus clients include Iran’s first and largest fashion e-commerce brand, Modiseh; the first global concierge service provider in Iran, Emminence; Iran’s largest consulting group, Ara Enterprise; Iran’s Largest FMCG company, Golestan; and one of the largest PR agencies in the world, MC Group.

The official launch ceremony took place on 13 September in the presence of government leaders, local business leaders, foreign companies’ representatives and guests from the chambers of commerce and foreign diplomatic corps in Tehran.
