One Tower Business Club Becomes First Flexible Workspace Operator in Turkey to Achieve the WELL Coworking Rating

(Ankara, Turkey, September 2, 2026) — One Tower Business Club, a one-of-a-kind premium business and flexible workspace destination in Turkey, has become the first flexible workspace operator in the country to achieve the WELL Coworking Rating, joining a growing global movement of workspace operators committed to prioritizing health, well-being and performance in the workplace. The rating was awarded in August by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) through the WELL Coworking Rating program, administered in partnership with The Instant Group.

One Tower Business Club scored 27 points, exceeding the 23-point minimum threshold required for certification. The rating assesses operators across more than 50 health-focused features spanning all ten WELL concepts — including air and water quality, lighting, thermal comfort, nutrition and physical fitness — with each submission independently reviewed by IWBI before certification is awarded. In strategic collaboration with Alarnova, and with the valued support of ecosystem partner WELLS 360°, One Tower Business Club successfully completed the WELL Coworking Rating process, bringing together expertise, guidance and operational commitment throughout the journey.

Located in Ankara’s prestigious One Tower development, One Tower Business Club spans 11,500 m² and combines premium workspace, hospitality and community experiences — including Sign Restaurant and a members-only fitness area developed with wellness partner Technogym — to create an environment where businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs can thrive.

As demand for flexible workspaces continues to grow across Turkey, operators are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate themselves and provide members with more than just a place to work (BKP Research & Consulting, 2025, Rent Office Hub, 2026). The WELL Coworking Rating provides a globally recognized, third-party verified framework that demonstrates a measurable commitment to occupant well-being and performance.

Ann Marie Aguilar, Senior Vice President, EMEA, IWBI, said: “The WELL Coworking Rating helps flexible workspace operators demonstrate their commitment to creating environments that support health, wellbeing and productivity. We congratulate One Tower Business Club on achieving this important milestone and joining a growing global community of organisations dedicated to enhancing the workplace experience.”

Sam Pickering, Executive Director at The Instant Group, said: "Achieving the WELL Coworking Rating is a powerful statement about One Tower Business Club’s commitment to its members and the future of workplace wellbeing. As occupiers become increasingly selective about where and how they work, the quality of the workplace experience is becoming a key differentiator. One Tower has demonstrated real leadership by investing in an environment that supports health, comfort and performance, and we are proud to have helped them achieve this milestone.”

Monika Paksoy, Managing Director at One Tower Business Club, said: “Achieving the first WELL Coworking Rating in Turkey is a major milestone for us. Independent IWBI verification confirms that health, wellbeing, and productivity are built directly into our operational DNA—setting a new benchmark for tomorrow’s workplace. As the operations lead who drove this project from initial concept to official certification, I view this as clear proof of what happens when wellbeing is treated as an operational discipline, not a marketing campaign.”

The achievement highlights the increasing maturity of Turkey’s flexible workspace market and signals growing interest in internationally recognized standards that help operators demonstrate quality, attract corporate occupiers and build trust with members.

For One Tower Business Club, the achievement further strengthens its position as a leading destination for professionals and businesses seeking a premium workspace experience in Ankara, while contributing to the broader advancement of healthy workplace standards across Turkey.
