THE EVOLVING WORLD OF FLEXIBLE OFFICE SPACE

The demand for flexible workplace solutions has been surging in the U.S.

and worldwide, resulting in providers adding millions of square feet of

coworking space in 2018, an increase of more than 30% since 2017. In

response, investors are pouring billions of dollars into coworking, while

landlords are opening up collaborative spaces and provisioning their

own flexible office solutions. Industry stakeholders are examining their

approach not only to this emerging sector, but also to incorporating resiliency in real estate in general. The current report by Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) sees very few providers who are currently achieving

success in the sector with only a coworking model. Instead, the trend is toward hybrid

solutions where operators supply not only open plan coworking space, but also fully demised

private suites that can be customized and branded, known as managed and serviced offices

(MSO). The average term is 12 months, a short as month-to-month, and as long as five years.

A number of factors drive this demand. For start-ups and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the mitigated risk, avoidance of capital expense, and especially the short-term commitment are enticing. Entrepreneurs can allocate money, time, and resources to growing their business and not managing real estate. Moreover, not only do contingent workers (freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, or other outsourced and non-permanent workers) make up a larger share of the growing labor force, millennials find the coworking model compelling - they want to be located in urban areas and work in innovative workplaces that inspire them. Hence, larger established companies are now seeing opportunities in coworking facilities to retain and attract young talent. Many corporations are examining their workplace models in a bid to encourage creativity by providing a more unstructured and less centrally controlled environment than their traditional offices. They are also seeing value in the scalability that is intrinsic with flexible workplace solutions. Particularly when occupiers are growing or downsizing, a workplace strategy that includes some flexibility can make business and financial sense.

Going forward, coworking and MSO in real estate portfolio strategies will likely continue to gain traction. We all know that cost containment remains the primary focus for occupiers during periods of volatility and rising rents. Given this, more companies will embrace flexible workplace as a solution set. This has already been the trend in industries such as life science, financial services and insurance, and especially technology, which are all major drivers of office activity in the Raleigh-Durham market.
