Smartworks, a provider of managed workspaces, has opened its second facility in Chennai on Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), Tamil Nadu. With the opening of the new facility the total footprint in India is now over 1.2 million sq ft.

Smartworks’ first centre in Chennai at Guindy was fully occupied by more than 10 companies within two months as demand for shared work spaces in the city is increasing. The OMR area of Chennai is the IT corridor of the city.

The area offers a good mix of residential and office complexes, contemporary structures, swanky eateries and a growing number of entertainment zones. Smartworks is aiming 10 million sq ft of managed office space over the next three years.
