BEIJING, May 06, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ucommune
International Ltd. (NASDAQ: UK) ("Ucommune" or the "Company"), a
leading agile office space manager and provider in China, today announced that it has leveraged
its asset-light model to increase the occupancy rate of its Wuhan
Lingjiaohu Yihao project (the "Project") to 86.59% in just 5
months, with more than 40 companies moving into the Project's
office spaces since its initial opening.
Jointly operated by Ucommune
and Yuzhou Group (HKSE: 01628), the Project is
located in Yuyueli, which is at the core of Hanjiang area
in Wuhan, the largest city in Hubei Province and the most populous city in
Central China. With 4,860m² of
office space and capacity for nearly 800 professionals, the
Project's premium working spaces and services have been highly
attractive to those companies affected by the pandemic. Project
tenants currently comprise more than 20 companies in the technology
and Internet industries, including Julive, Guazi, Liutiaoyu, and
Zancheng, while the remaining companies are start-ups in industries
such as media, tourism, and education.
Ucommune has partnered with Yuzhou Group under its U Partner
asset-light model. As part of this model, Yuzhou Group, the
property owner, offers Ucommune the right to use its office spaces,
while Ucommune operates and manages the office spaces under its
brand. Benefitting from the Company's robust promotional
capabilities and agile office space management, Yuzhou Group has
enjoyed more business activity through this cooperation while its
property's asset utilization rates and asset value have also
increased.
The general manager of Yuzhou Group's operations in Wuhan commented, "We decided to partner with
Ucommune based on its proven workspace solutions, operational
efficiency, and significant brand influence. Through both parties'
joint efforts, we have not only accelerated the recovery of our
underlying business, but also helped to revitalize business
operations in Wuhan. As more new
businesses move into our office spaces, Wuhan's Yuyueli will experience a flywheel
effect, leading to more new customers with higher consumption power
and more new merchant services for existing businesses."
Dr. Daqing Mao, Founder of
Ucommune, commented, "Our partnership with Yuzhou Group is another
successful use case for our asset-light model. Moreover, the
Project's healthy tenant mix further illustrates the increasing
adoption of co-working spaces by companies at each stage of growth.
Our ability to upgrade asset utilization rates and asset values
through this model has resulted in a compelling value proposition
for property owners. In 2020, for example, our asset-light model
revenue and geographical coverage doubled. Looking ahead, we plan
to expand this model into all 34 provinces in China by the end of 2021."
