The acquisition enhances HqO’s growing occupier business and expands its geographical footprint in European business hubs including London, Berlin and Warsaw.

HqO recently completed Series D funding which raised US $50 million to support the launch of its Real Estate Experience (REX) Platform.

The platform is marketed as 'the first end-to-end experience solution built around the customer'.

Symbiosy will continue to power HB Reavis’ portfolio of workspaces and support its growing global customer base.

“Adding Symbiosy to the HqO family is the perfect fit with our vision to put people and their experiences of space at the center of the real estate industry.

“During HB Reavis’ 30 years of experience in real estate, our people-centric approach focused on well-being has proven to generate the most value for real estate businesses and people.

Partnering with HqO will enable us to continue focusing on this path while providing the existing Symbiosy customers with enhanced services and solutions”, says HB Reavis CEO, Marcel Sedlakavis.

By pairing HqO’s newly launched REX Platform with Symbiosy’s deep expertise in creating intelligent and innovative workplaces, we are reimagining the future of real estate experience

"Symbiosy’s proven delivery of high-quality, digitally led experiences across all assets is directly aligned with HqO’s mission to connect real estate to the people through a cross-property suite of powerful applications and services that foster best-in-class, dynamic end-user experiences.

“During the five years spent creating Symbiosy within the HB Reavis universe, dedicated to refining the symbiotic connection between buildings, offices, and their users to deliver the best occupier experience, Symbiosy has been on a transformative journey.

Now we are poised to extend this distinctive partnership with HB Reavis and HqO even further.

Together, we aim to support our existing clients and introduce our combined product offerings to a broader audience, empowering more customers to harness the advantages of smart building technology, hybrid work support, energy optimisation, and tenant engagement in order to enhance the overall workplace experience and well-being,” adds Tibor Nyitray, Head of Symbiosy.

Symbiosy is HqO’s third acquisition in two years.

In June 2022, the company acquired Leesman, a leader in measuring employee workplace experience.

This followed the November 2021 acquisition of Office App, a European tenant and employee engagement platform.
