Marilynn De Santis shares that after suddenly being told that Her Workplace would need to move out of their current community space in NYC (in what was previously The Wing), they’ve pivoted into a partnership with Studio by Tishman Speyer.

The partnership gives Her Workplace members access to Studio workspaces as a perk, as oppose to a core offering. The community will also have a dedicated suite to meet, work and network in The Spiral in Hudson Yards.

Tishman Speyer are moving into the data center market with a 75k sqm campus planned in Frankfurt, Germany.

I’ve actually been following an undercurrent trend of who’s moving into the data centers business, knowing that these buildings take up loads of space and how big factors like latency, physical access and network proximity will become for AI and AI-powered platforms. Expect more data centers, closer to growing AI hubs. There’s a play here for coworking and flex space… calling it.

Holly Dutton shares that many large landlords are leaning into their very own flex brands, and how many of them lean on technology to merge their digital and physical offerings.

Landlords leaning into flex offerings of their own that are mentioned in the piece are Hines, Boston Properties, Irvine Company, Tishman Speyer, SL Green alongside tech cos like essensys, Lane, and VTS.

Boston Properties’ CEO, Owen Thomas, recently shared that Kastle’s widely-cited "Back to Work Barometer" reports is missing data from some of NYC’s major office landlords. Also interesting to see that in NYC BXP’s daily utilization has grown to 94.8%, whereas Boston and SF were seeing 73.6% and 45.3% respectively.

The landlords who have opted out, who Gabe Marans notes as owning 150+ million square feet, include Vornado, Brookfield, SL Green, Tishman Speyer, Related Properties, Rudin Management and Silverstein Properties.

Bisnow reports on how Tishman Speyer reached a deal with WeWork to take back 217k sqft at The Jacx in Long Island City. The space will be operated by the landlords’ Studio brand, with existing members being given the option to stay in the space for the duration of their previous agreement.

Interestingly members using WeWork’s All Access and On Demand program will also be able to use the space, even after the transfer of ownership. Could this be a sign of a move the AA/OD teams are working on?
