1000Satellites opened its first Berlin site, Satellit Chaussee, by taking over operations of a 7,000 sqm, six-floor building in Berlin-Mitte rather than leasing part of it. Existing occupiers stay on, including Klarna, whose German HQ has been there since 2019, and payments firm PPRO, who become its users. Managing Director Gregory von Abendroth says the operator, a 2019 spinout from BASF’s Chemovator incubator, will expand this building-takeover model after earlier rollouts in Munich and Mannheim.

Operating whole buildings and converting sitting tenants into members is a very different growth motion from signing empty space and hunting for members. Watch it spread as landlords look to activate part-empty offices.

YOUNG Workspaces shares that it has grown beyond a single city to multiple locations across the Netherlands, Valencia and South Africa, and says international expansion is continuing.

Expanding into markets as different as Valencia and South Africa signals operator brands are now chasing members across regions and continents, not just adding sites in one country.

Frixos Kaimakamis launches Weave, a hands-on office management service that lets landlords and agents offer fully managed space without building an in-house team. Run by experienced property managers rather than a serviced-office brand, Weave says it does not mark up contractor or supplier costs, so landlords keep their income and occupiers get honest, transparent service. The launch follows a trial across its own managed office portfolio (plus an almost immediate rebrand).

The no-markup, management-only pitch targets landlords who want managed space without an operator taking a cut of supplier spend. It is another sign that transparent, fee-based management is challenging the traditional flex-operator margin model.

Ewelina Kałużna shares that Business Link, part of the Skanska Group, is opening a new Warsaw location adding 2,770 sqm across three floors in Studio A, Skanska’s latest development, recently sold to Stena Real Estate.

It complements the existing Business Link in Studio B for more than 6,000 sqm combined, with two floors of serviced offices and a ground-floor conference and event hub designed by MIXD.

Oli Ring shares that Runway East is launching Runway East St Paul’s, its fourth new site brought to market in 2026 and what it calls the largest space of its kind in the City of London.

It’s set to open in November 2026.

DeHouse is opening its eighth location at Picoas Plaza in central Lisbon. The Portuguese operator, founded in 2017, now runs five DeHouse-branded coworking centres, two managed flex sites under the Buz brand for developer Castro Group, and one managed workplace for Subvisual.

The move follows its takeover of the former Selina site in Porto after Selina exited Portugal.
