Within the established office sector, some aspects of coworking have been around since at least the 1980s, noted Annie Draper, director of operations and corporate relations at <strong>Hines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically speaking, it was intended to provide an alternative to a conventional lease, so companies who had smaller space requirements or didn&#8217;t want to sign long-term leases or didn&#8217;t have the capital to invest in this space were able to quickly move into coworking spaces or executive suites,\u201d Draper added.<\/p>\n<p>By the early 2000s, third-party operators began to offer coworking options with a heightened focus on design, employee experience and service elements, as traditional landlords began offering more amenity spaces to attract and keep tenants.<\/p>\n<h2>Promise of agility lures workers, companies<\/h2>\n<p>Hines broke into the space with its own flex offering after noticing many of its larger tenants \u201cstarted wanting more and different types of office products outside of a conventional or traditional leasing structure,\u201d observed Draper, who specializes in flexible office spaces and oversees the firm\u2019s coworking platform, The Square.<\/p>\n<p>The company began building out its first flex locations in 2018, with the initial locations delivering in early 2020, just as lockdowns were beginning in most of the world. Three years later, however, few companies have their workforce in the office fulltime, while coworking has taken off.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004665484\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/HINES_coffeebar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004665484\" data-attachment-id=\"1004665484\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/as-hybrid-work-expands-coworking-is-no-longer-the-exception\/hines_coffeebar\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/HINES_coffeebar.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Luis Gallardo&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1672344406&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 Luis Gallardo \/ LGM Studio&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HINES_coffeebar\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;\u201cThe Square\u201d offers coworking sites (above and top) in several cities, including Houston.

Instead, they\u2019re looking for shorter term leases for space that\u2019s ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust as we saw the retail industry disrupted by e-commerce, there&#8217;s this seismic behavioral shift that&#8217;s transforming the office landscape,\u201d said Sarah Travers, CEO of Boston-based <strong>Workbar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of a singular product that&#8217;s a conventional lease structure, we&#8217;re thinking about different leasing structures that exist for different types of companies and different ways to use office space,\u201d said Draper. \u201cWe have to have different products with different time periods associated with them in different services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The demand for more coworking that has been helped along by the post-COVID-19 switch to remote work coexists with the uncertainty of how many people will choose to work from an office of any kind and when. Prior to the pandemic, the Monday through Friday schedule was the norm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was basically a given that that&#8217;s how people were using office space,\u201d Draper recalled. \u201cWe had a singular product, before we started to build our flex offering, that accommodated a five-day workweek.\u201d This enabled companies to predict how much space they would need in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey knew their headcount today, they knew what their growth was anticipated to look like over the next \u2018X\u2019 number of years, and they could build out office space associated with that,\u201d Draper added. \u201cBut now, today, companies function in much different ways. Some are demanding that people come back to the office, and some are fully remote. And then there&#8217;s a variation in between that is all over the spectrum of flexibility and hybrid environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The economics of office space<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004665486\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/WeWork_250Tower_SaltLakeCity.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004665486\" data-attachment-id=\"1004665486\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/as-hybrid-work-expands-coworking-is-no-longer-the-exception\/wework_250tower_saltlakecity\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/WeWork_250Tower_SaltLakeCity.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WeWork_250Tower_SaltLakeCity\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Founded in 2008, WeWork quickly became synonymous with the nascent coworking sector.

You have a couple of people coming in and out of that space, but the space is running as if it were full all the time. It&#8217;s such an inefficient way to not only manage human capital, but to manage the impact you have on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A modern focus on amenities and employees<\/h2>\n<p>Many companies and workers are aiming for a balance between working from home and the traditional office, according to Holland, who cited WeWork member surveys and feedback that show \u201cwhen they\u2019ve tried other places, they\u2019re just not getting as much work done. Coffee shops aren\u2019t designed to support a full day\u2019s work and not everyone has the right space or business tools to work from home.\u201d Supporting productivity is essential, she noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause 50 percent of our physical layout is open space, our coworking space is actually built for productivity and we have different \u2018neighborhoods,\u2019\u201d added Workbar\u2019s Travers. \u201cWe have a cafe neighborhood that&#8217;s similar to working out of a Starbucks, we do have a study neighborhood that&#8217;s similar to working out of a library, we have a commons neighborhood that is geared toward team collaboration and then we have a switchboard area that&#8217;s geared toward phone calls.\u201d Of all those, the cafe option is the most popular, with most clients opting for a more social experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot about the loneliness epidemic out in the world, and lonely workers are less efficient, they&#8217;re less productive and they&#8217;re more likely to quit,\u201d Travers pondered. \u201cYou need to get your people together. That does not mean you need to rent 25,000 square feet in the heart of the city. That means you need to provide outlets for your employees to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople realize that being in-person adds tremendous value that can\u2019t be replicated when they\u2019re remote, and when they need workspace to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/how-coworking-creates-a-sense-of-community\/\">facilitate collaboration and connection<\/a> they\u2019re turning to flex,\u201d said Holland.<\/p>\n<p>The amenities associated with coworking spaces and startup culture of a decade past are not necessarily what will draw companies and employees in 2023. \u201cThose outlets don&#8217;t need to have beer on tap and ping pong tables, they need to be spaces where your workers can come together and be productive, be social and find inspiration,\u201d said Travers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t just build an amenity space and then expect it to kind of run itself,\u201d said Draper. \u201cWe have to build something and have a full team that is there to support the management of the space and how are our clients interact with that space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Something as simple as ensuring that employees in a coworking space understand the amenities which they have access to makes a difference in a client\u2019s experience, added Draper, who suggested that methods like inventory management that are commonplace in the hospitality sector can be useful in flex offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no two coworking operators that run the same product, so I would highly encourage decision-makers not to put all coworking operators under one umbrella,\u201d said Travers. \u201cYou really have to go out and pick the ones that you think are right for your company, because it&#8217;s really an extension of your own brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004665491\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/Workbar_Woburn_1022_web-01_workspace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004665491\" data-attachment-id=\"1004665491\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/as-hybrid-work-expands-coworking-is-no-longer-the-exception\/workbar_woburn_1022_web-01_workspace\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2023\/05\/Workbar_Woburn_1022_web-01_workspace.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark IV&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1665657898&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.5&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Workbar_Woburn_1022_web-01_workspace\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Workbar has several locations in the Boston area, including in Woburn, Mass.

In the long-term?<\/h2>\n<p>The impact from remote work, expiring leases, maturing loans, companies shrinking their footprints and the emergence of a new generation averse to working full-time from an office represents a perfect storm, said Travers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think coworking is going to be the bright side in this, because offices and companies need to figure out a way to get their people back together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Troubling signs in the greater office market, most glaringly the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-sector-faces-increased-risk-of-distressed-activity\/\">looming threat of mass defaults<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/after-this-interest-rate-hike-will-the-fed-finally-hit-pause\/\">high cost of capital<\/a>, are top of mind for everyone in the industry. However, Holland observed that potential instability means adaptability will be key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUncertainty is when flexibility is needed the most,\u201d said Holland. \u201cThis is why flexible office space has grown so much and why investors are continuing to embrace it as the future of the commercial office industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holland, who finds the wave of newcomers heartening, welcomes the new class of corporate competitors. \u201cThe growth in flexible space providers and coworking operators in recent years reinforces the industry shift from traditional to flexible workspace that we\u2019ve been seeing for quite some time. As a leader in this space, we\u2019re encouraged that more and more people are seeing the value of flex.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>For her part, Travers is excited to be part of the competitive space. \u201cI like competition because I think it makes everybody turn out a better product,\u201d she said. \u201cI love it when a competitor comes close to a Workbar location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Workbar itself is planning its expansion beyond metro Boston. \u201cWe&#8217;re certainly on the cusp of expansion and I think you&#8217;ll see a lot of the good operators out there on the cusp of it as well,\u201d said Travers. \u201cI think there&#8217;s plenty of room and I think that you&#8217;ll see a lot of consolidation within the industry. But I think that there are a lot of really good players out there that are going to start growing their footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2022 <strong>CBRE<\/strong> survey of U.S. real estate executives with office portfolios, 59 percent expected their office portfolio to include a sizeable to very sizeable amount of flexible office space in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not even at the bottom of the first inning of where this is going to go over the next five to 10 years,\u201d said Travers. \u201cI think that we&#8217;re just at the tip of the iceberg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mydigitalpublication.com\/publication\/?i=793326\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the June 2023 issue of CPE.<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sector is blossoming, and so are the possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3154,"featured_media":1004665501,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1521,21808,51037],"tags":[32789,32797,33678,46028],"class_list":["post-1004665472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital","category-featured","category-trends","tag-cbre","tag-hines","tag-wework","tag-workbar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
