OneSpace founder and CEO Matt Hewitt advocates that developers should partner with regional flexible workspace operators rather than large global brands, citing that WeWork and IWG have closed over 700 locations worldwide in the past five years. WeWork closed approximately 200 locations including 160 exits through bankruptcy restructuring, while IWG rationalized around 500 centres between 2020 and 2024 despite record revenue.

Hewitt argues regional and independent operators are expanding profitably while offering developers faster decisions, tailored solutions, lower operational risk, and direct access to local corporate occupiers.

Onespace Dubai announced the launch of the 8,000 sqft enterprise workspace at Golden Mile Galleria, in Dubai’s most iconic destination – the man-made palm tree islands.

Although the new center is operational, Onespace is currently refreshing the interiors with new furniture and finishes to match the brand’s signature enterprise-grade aesthetic. The company offered a first look at the space this week, giving clients and partners a sneak preview of what’s to come.

Matt Hewitt shares how OneSpace are positioning their enterprise-focussed offering called WOTEL.

The 49-slide in-depth overview introduces enterprise coworking to companies across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council – the political and economic union of six Middle Eastern countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates).

BCBusiness highlights 3 coworking and childcare businesses operating in British Columbia. They compare the offerings from Nestworks, Produckidvity and OneSpace – and they’re each quite different.

I hope we see more spaces exploring how they can offer childcare solutions in a safe and sustainable way.
