Kr Space, which was spun out from Ant Financial-backed 36Kr, has signed leases on three new properties in Hong Kong, which it plans to convert into co-working centres. The offices, which are located in One Hennessy Road in Wan Chai, Time Square on Causeway Bay and the K11 shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui are its first outside mainland China. The move came as Kr Space nears completion of a $300m funding round. Liu Chengcheng, founder of 36Kr and chairman of Kr Space, said in an interview with Chinese media firms yesterday in Hong Kong that the company planed expansions in Hong Kong as its existing tenants in mainland China have such needs. In an interview with Bloomberg, CEO David Wong said that he expects his company will be able to open offices in other cities within two years.
