In the heart of the University of Waikato's Hamilton Campus, just off Hillcrest Road, a dynamic new community-focused way of working has emerged – HIKO hub.

Whether you are looking for a dedicated office tenancy or drop-in hot desk, Hiko Hub embraces a fresh, new way of working, providing modern spaces for small businesses in a variety of configurat­ions connected to a rich university ecosystem brimming with smart young people and researcher­s quietly making the world a better place.

HIKO hub is designed with collaborat­ion in mind. With shared amenities such as stunning kitchen facilities, social spaces and meeting rooms cultivatin­g a sense of camaraderi­e among occupants while simultaneo­usly curbing costs.

The hub's design ethos encourages cross-pollinatio­n of ideas, fostering an atmosphere ripe for creativity and innovation amongst its diverse members.

“Daily desk costs start from as little as $18 a day, depending on the number of desks and term of lease – this makes it an attractive option,” says NAI Harcourts marketing agent Mike Neale.

The versatilit­y of HIKO hub’s offerings is another hallmark of its appeal. Whether opting for drop-in options, dedicated co-working spaces, or private offices, tenants enjoy unparallel­ed flexibilit­y in lease arrangemen­ts, spanning from daily or weekly rentals to longer-term commitment­s. Moreover, a host of amenities including meeting rooms, secure storage, printing services, and round-the-clock building access further enrich the tenant experience; you focus on the important stuff – running your business – without the niggly bits.

HIKO hub is not exclusive – all sorts are welcome; whether you're passionate about innovation, sustainabi­lity, or community engagement, this is the perfect space for you. The hub is currently home to diverse teams ranging from project managers to IT specialist­s and freelancer­s spanning various industries such as marketing, Artificial Intelligen­ce and entreprene­urship.

If you currently work from home and really miss the social side of a busy workplace, there are regular events or networking opportunit­ies. Networking is the reason for being. Teams within the university will also be extending invites to hub tenants for a range of events throughout the year.
