Coworking spaces and flexible office space
The end of the classic office?
As a result of the pandemic, many companies have reassessed their office space. The trend towards Coworking spaces and flexible office space has become firmly established. The demand for flexible office space for companies with hybrid working models is growing.
Flexibility as the new norm
Hybrid working - i.e. a mixture of working from home and being in the office - has become established in many sectors. This brings with it new requirements: companies are looking for spaces that are scalable, can be rented at short notice and are well connected. Coworking spaces offer exactly that - including infrastructure, community elements and often even event and meeting rooms that can be booked as required.
New demand, new locations
One exciting trend is the increasing integration of coworking spaces in residential neighbourhoods. Working people in particular, who no longer want to commute to the city centre every day, like to use flexible workspaces close to home. Local authorities are also promoting this approach, for example by establishing so-called "third places" - locations between home offices and company headquarters that combine work, networking and community.
This development opens up new opportunities for property investors: It is no longer just central locations in A-cities that are in demand - smaller, well-connected locations are also becoming more attractive
Conclusion
The classic office has had its day - at least in its traditional form. Instead, companies are focussing on modern, flexible concepts that adapt to employees' lifestyles. Coworking and modular office spaces are far more than just a short-term trend - they are a central component of the new world of work. Those who invest in the right space today will be optimally positioned for the future of work.
