About Us
The Collective Community Hub has been developed and completely funded by new generation real estate agency, Collective First National! “Since launching back in February 2020, Collective has grown, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful support of our local community,” says co-founders William YIP & Gareth Robins. “As a company, our beliefs are grounded in community before commission, and community focused real estate, so it’s only natural that we focus on projects that benefit the people that support us, our community.”
“The shared workspace is a place where local collaborations can take place, where those working from home can come for a change of scene, and where students can have a quiet place to study. The boardrooms give local businesses somewhere they can meet up, exchange ideas - both in person and video conference. And it gives local artists a place to present their work to the community. The benefits and uses for the Collective Community Hub are truly endless”
The company hopes their business model will act as inspiration to others:
“What’s best for our clients and what’s best for the community is at the centre of everything we do at Collective,” says Gareth. “We hope this inspires other local businesses.”
