Work. Create. Play. Do It all #From Here!

 


Work. Create. Play.  Do It all #From Here!


Many thought that coworking spaces would become irrelevant when the pandemic struck.  Yet, prolonged isolation brought the primary motivation behind coworking spaces to resurface.

 

Humans have the inherent need to interact, share, and network. This realization motivated Josan Farms Inc., a family-owned real estate development and management company, to open a creative hub at the height of the global health crisis in November 2020.

 

Nestled at Crossroads Mall, a lifestyle and creative hub home to Cebuano entrepreneurs, an unnamed coworking space slowly built a community that thrives on collaboration and innovation. The intent is to not just build a place to work but an innovative space that caters to digital creators, startup founders, and anyone who wants to design, build, work, focus, and play. After one-and-a-half years, the dynamic and progressive From Here Coworking was finally launched.



From Here redefines what it means to cowork. More than a tangible space, it is a platform that encourages people to take the leap and do the things they want to do. 

 

“The name itself suggests that we don't want to box ourselves as a workspace. We want everyone to consider this a place where they can be courageous enough to do what they want, start something, meet other people, collaborate, try something different. We want to provide that type of support,” said Jeaun Tolsa, Coworking Lead and Head of Marketing at Crossroads

 

To achieve its vision, From Here emphasizes flexible spaces that foster creativity and satisfy the varied requirements of its members.

 

Its premier spaces are equipped with facilities and services suited to the different needs of individuals and groups.  These include fast and reliable internet with redundancy, secure coworking environment, al fresco areas, use of meeting rooms, free parking, TV for presentations, 12-hour walk-in access, 24/7 biometric access, projector, screen, and sound system, use of business address, and mail receiving service.


From Here has workstations designed for freelancers and digital nomads which can be availed for as low as P400 a day.   Small teams may opt for a coworking setup for P8,500 a month.

 

There are meeting room options for 2-15 pax so they can brainstorm to get the best ideas and formulate solutions. Rooms for 4-6 and 8-10 pax cost P550 and P750 per hour, respectively.

 

Sometimes, teams also need a space to gather and create impact.  From Here’s Playground is a content studio for photo and video production, which can be used as an event space to perform, teach, inspire and turn passion into play for P1,500 per hour.

 



For only P1,400 a month, From Here also has a Virtual Office for those without a physical space but require a business address. 

 

“The capacity to succeed is limitless as long as we have a space to extend our roots. We want our members to focus on what they do. Let us help with the rest,” said Tolsa.
