CoworkingCafe demonstrated grace as stewards and crunchers of coworking data, by letting us know that: "Following publication, we received updated source data and identified a discrepancy in the dataset used for the original analysis. We’ve since refreshed the report using the latest available data, resulting in updated city rankings".

Here are the updated figures: St. Paul and Wichita ranked first among US cities for independent coworking presence, with independent operators accounting for 80% of the local coworking market. Jacksonville came in third with 75% independent operators. Followed by Tucson, Baltimore and Las Vegas, each with independent operator shares above 70%. Midwest markets claimed eight of the top 15 cities.

The UK and Ireland are home to 4,550 coworking spaces as of Q1 2026 according to CoworkingCafe’s latest State of the Coworking Industry Report, based on proprietary data from April 2026.

The UK accounts for 4,270 coworking spaces, with England hosting the majority (3,729), followed by Scotland (311), Wales (131) and Northern Ireland (99). Greater London is the coworking epicenter (1,209), representing nearly 30% of the UK’s total supply. Beyond the capital, Manchester (123) leads as the UK’s strongest regional hub, followed by Glasgow (72). Birmingham (68), Bristol and Leeds (64 each), and Edinburgh (62) also rank among the top markets. Cardiff (43) and Belfast (45) anchor their respective nations.

The national median monthly membership stands at £180, but prices vary sharply by market, from £244 in Oxford to £139 in Liverpool and Aberdeen. Day passes have a median price of £25 nationally, rising to £30 in London, Oxford, and Belfast and £33 in Edinburgh, while Aberdeen (£18) is the most affordable major hub. VO subscriptions cost £115 per month, peaking in Liverpool (£175) and dropping to £35 in Bristol and Cardiff. Meeting rooms have a median price of £30 per hour nationwide, with London topping the list at £52, compared to £16 in Nottingham.

Ireland contributes 280 coworking spaces, with Dublin hosting 128, nearly half of the national total. National median pricing stands at €205/month for memberships, €25/day for day passes, €79/month for virtual offices and €40/hour for meeting rooms, with Dublin commanding higher rates across most services.

CoworkingCafe’s latest analysis explores how live-work-play (LWP) developments have expanded across the US over the past decade. They tracked 542 developments completed between 2016 and 2025, along with 94 more projects in the 2026-2029 pipeline, to see how this building model is evolving nationally and across major cities.

The 542 LWP developments spanned 129.45M sqft. 2025 alone saw 67 completed projects. Residential remains the defining feature of these projects, averaging 62% of the sqftage nationally, compared to office (27%) and retail (11%).

The number of coworking spaces located within these developments in the top 10 cities for LWP buildings, rose from 35 in 2022 to 56 in 2026 – a 60% increase – highlighting the growing connection between flexible work and mixed-use environments.

With 119 developments, New York City has the largest LWP footprint in the country, well ahead of other major markets. The city also has 17 coworking spaces within these properties, reinforcing its position as both a mixed-use and flex office leader.

Several smaller markets stand out for coworking integration. San Francisco, for example, has just 7 developments, but six include coworking, giving it one of the highest coworking concentrations in the study. Meanwhile, cities such as Rochester and Philadelphia stand out for relatively large office footprints in their live-work-play projects, but no coworking presence so far.
