For employers, this new reality isn\u2019t just about space efficiency, but also about unlocking productivity by giving teams the autonomy to choose where they work best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrious has picked up on this trend and has started tailoring its remote workspaces to cater to those who want to work even while travelling or commuting. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/industrious-brightline-to-launch-on-the-go-workspaces\/\">partnership with Brightline<\/a>, the company launched on-the-go workspaces in train stations earlier this year. &#8220;All these moves reflect a broader shift in how people think about work,\u201d said Industrious President Anna Squires Levine. \u201cIt&#8217;s more than just a location. It&#8217;s also a service that supports the way we live.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move comes after a couple other unique partnerships aimed at responding to market needs and meeting employees where they want to work. Last year, Industrious and Delta Airlines launched Delta Business Traveler, a flexible office program that allows enrolled travelers exclusive passes to Industrious\u2019 global network of more than 250 workplaces. In 2023, IKEA and Ingka Centres, a subsidiary of IKEA\u2019s property division Ingka Group, joined forces with Industrious to introduce Hej!Workshop, a 46,470-square-foot coworking location on the third floor of IKEA\u2019s 250,000-square-foot Market Street store in San Francisco, which serves as both a coworking space and a furniture showroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How exactly does Industrious&#8217; latest on-the-go workspace offering work? Squires Levine shares all the details in this interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#dddddd;color:#dddddd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/tech-brokers-scalability-the-future-of-coworking\/\">Tech, Brokers &amp; Scalability: The Future of Coworking<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#dddddd;color:#dddddd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How would you describe the current market dynamics in the coworking\/flex office space? What has changed since we last spoke with an Industrious executive in 2023?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squires Levine: <\/strong>Since you last spoke with Jamie Hodari, we can confidently say the demand for flex office space has reached new highs. I think the biggest shift has been the realization that long-term remote work, alone at home, isn\u2019t sustainable for most people. Whether you see your team daily or gather a few times a year, people need spaces where they can connect, feel a sense of belonging and do great work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also grown quite a lot since 2023 and we went through a major milestone just at the beginning of 2025: our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cbre-group-to-acquire-industrious\/\">$800 million acquisition by CBRE<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest commercial real estate services firm. Through them, we\u2019re scaling our approach to workplace experience in entirely new ways. We\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/industrious-to-open-flex-office-space-in-beverly-hills\/\">expanded into new cities<\/a>, with international openings in Berlin, Amsterdam and Sydney, while continuing to grow our network across the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking of new workplace experiences, what inspired you to partner with Brightline for opening on-the-go workspaces? Why was such a move needed in the market?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squires Levine: <\/strong>As we expand, we\u2019re always looking for unique opportunities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/the-commute-has-to-feel-worth-it\/\">to enhance the work-travel experience<\/a>. We\u2019ve seen more folks blend business and leisure travel and need high-quality spaces to work as the lines blur, and we wanted to meet them where they\u2019re at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have an entire network that is located up and down Southeast Florida, and we noticed our members and our team frequently riding the Brightline between them. Partnering with Brightline allowed us to connect Florida&#8217;s major hubs and better integrate our network, offering convenient, state-of-the-art services that benefit commuters, business travelers and leisure passengers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration is about more than convenience. It\u2019s about reimagining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-tenants-closer-to-getting-hybrid-right\/\">what hybrid work looks like<\/a> when it\u2019s fully integrated into how people live and travel. By combining seamless transit with on-the-go productivity, we\u2019re enabling people to move through their day with greater ease, flexibility and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a465b275eb1a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"1004769172\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/a-new-era-for-flex-offices-behind-industrious-on-the-go-workspaces\/ind_brightline_premium-lounge-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/08\/IND_Brightline_Premium-Lounge-2-e1755772508154.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" 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;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IND_Brightline_Premium-Lounge-2\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Image provided by Moxie Communications Group, which represents Industrious, in the initial press release&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Currently available at four locations, Industrious&#8217; new spaces offer private meeting rooms and phone booth, shared workspaces, along with lounges and access to complimentary bars and food options.

Others are using day passes at nearby&nbsp;Industrious&nbsp;locations when they need a full workday setup. We\u2019re also seeing individuals use private phone booths and quiet work nooks to jump on a quick call, catch up on emails or stay focused between meetings.

We also introduced many of our standard coworking features within the Miami station itself, like private phone booths and quiet areas for focused work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most exciting elements of this collaboration is the ability to book an entire private train car, which can accommodate up to 66 people.

Whether it\u2019s on a train, in an airport lounge, or somewhere entirely unexpected, people are looking for ways to get meaningful work done in the in-between moments.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1004757288\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/industrious-brightline-to-launch-on-the-go-workspaces\/brightline-bright-red-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,900\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jonathan Gilbert&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;photo@gilbertgrp.com&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;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Brightline-Bright-Red\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Brightline will provide a bookable train car for business commuters. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg?w=1024\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Exterior shot of one of Brightline's trains.\" class=\"wp-image-1004757288\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/05\/Brightline-Bright-Red_ebd277-e1755864977568.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brightline provides a bookable train car for business commuters. <em>Image courtesy of Industrious<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve already opened many coworking locations in unconventional spaces, collaborating with all sorts of brands across other sectors. Do you think this work-on-the-go trend will catch on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squires Levine: <\/strong>We\u2019re always exploring partnerships with other travel and hospitality brands, with current relationships with Delta Business Traveler, offering coworking space access for only $99 per month for cardholders, and Hertz, offering complimentary Five Star Status. This is only the beginning of what the future of work-on-the-go could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking ahead, how do you expect these spaces to evolve? Also, where do you see the next wave of demand for flex space coming from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squires Levine: <\/strong>Over time, we expect these types of spaces to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/step-into-my-office-cbres-take-on-rethinking-office-space-and-the-future-of-flexibility\/\">become more integrated<\/a> into people\u2019s daily lives. That might include collaborations with travel brands, but also partnerships in categories like retail, wellness and fitness, or consumer products. The more foot traffic a location has, the more incentive there is to innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More broadly, we\u2019re seeing three main areas of demand. First, large enterprises are turning to flex to manage their hybrid workforces, especially as teams grow, gather and disperse across different markets. Second, there\u2019s a rising demand for neighborhood locations. These are offices within walking or biking distance from members\u2019 homes. Lastly, companies are shifting away from leasing a single office and instead investing in access to a network of spaces. When you can give your team flexibility across more than 250 locations, it opens a completely new way of thinking about the workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next wave of flex work blends offices, travel and lifestyle into one seamless experience, according to President Anna Squires Levine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2703,"featured_media":1004757288,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52118,44033,21808,21785,32781],"tags":[40476,38603,33383],"class_list":["post-1004769138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coworking","category-executive-profiles","category-featured","category-property-management","category-southeast","tag-cpetalks","tag-brightline","tag-industrious"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A New Era for Flex Offices: On-The-Go Workspaces - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Industrious President Anna Squires Levine reveals why on-the-go workspaces are the next level in remote work.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/a-new-era-for-flex-offices-behind-industrious-on-the-go-workspaces\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New in Flex Office: Industrious&#039;
