Our Mission

Arcc Spaces is a shared workspace platform that caters to brands looking to transform the way they work and drive innovation.

The Workspace

Warm, Inviting, Generous

The environment we work in plays an important part in the way we work. That’s why we adopt a human-led design philosophy to craft spaces that feel welcoming, evoke senses, inspire ideas, and enhance work productivity.

Each of our spaces draws from its context and reflects our bespoke approach to being active part of the local building ecosystem – a nexus for community engagement and exchange.

It's About You

Experience our Hospitality

We think big but act small. We understand that every company has its own unique needs and challenges to be met. We treat each of our members as a valued partner, and are here to support and facilitate your success.

We believe in a personal approach to hospitality, our people are at the heart of our service.

Not Just an Office

Lifestyle inspired, Innovation enabled

Work, Live or Play; our lives and routines are dynamic in this modern age. We believe in providing a platform and options to allow you to work they way that you want, whether in or out of the physical workspace.

The intersection of ideas is where innovation occurs and we want to built a vibrant network where open conversations can happen.

Leading by experience, innovating through passion.

    Our History

    1996

    New Beginnings

    Timothy Holdings incorporated in Singapore

    2003

    Opening Our First Centre

    The first Asia-Pacific Business Centre (APBC) office was opened at Suntec City and helped provide short-term office space solutions to local small and medium enterprises. This was the first office space of its type in Singapore at that time

    2005

    Entering The Chinese Market

    APBC entered the China market with centres in Shanghai, renamed apbcOffices along with new design elements ahead of their time, challenging the notion of what an office space should feel and look like. During this period, design became one of our calling cards, with each of our locations taking on drastically different styles and looks.
