Jadian Capital has increased its commitment to WareSpace to support growth from 32 to 100 locations nationwide, backing a national network of flexible, professionally managed industrial space for small businesses.

Co-warehousing just got another institutional shove. Same flex thesis as coworking, different asset class.

Kong Wan Sing, CEO of JustCo, confirms the newly listed operator has taken master tenancy at OG’s Orchard Point on Orchard Road, rebranding it JustCo Place. The 64,000 sqft coworking floors opening in September are fully leased to Deloitte, while upper floors become 123 co-living units under new brand JustAt, launching January 2027.

First live-work-connect proof of concept, with a Big Four anchor right after IPO. Landlords eyeing similar retrofits just got their case study.

Ermal Shehu shares that Capital Founders Group has acquired Art/Work Coworking, a Chicago flex platform for creators and growing companies, crediting Shahroz O. for leading diligence and closing.

Another local operator landing founder-capital backing. Watch whether the art-driven model survives the scale play, or gets smoothed into generic managed office.

Business Plus reports that Pembr Flexible Office Solutions has leased the entire 40,000 sqft 16 St Stephen’s Green from October Investments, its largest deal and future Dublin flagship opening next year. That lifts Pembr to 28 buildings and 3,000+ workstations in Dublin city centre; founders Thomas Lenehan and Bob Manson (est. 2007) call it a full-circle moment with the landlord that owned their first building.

Dublin 2 vacancy back to single digits and amenity-led flex winning multinationals: premium CBD buildings are still the growth bet for Irish operators approaching their 20-year mark.

Decide, an AI spreadsheet and research agent, has partnered with Café One, Nigeria’s largest coworking network (30+ locations), to include Decide access as part of membership under Decide for Work, its program for embedding agents in businesses, universities and coworking communities.

Membership just became a software bundle. If AI tools ride along with the desk, the operator pitch shifts from amenities to who ships the agent stack that members actually open every day.

Sihan Chia at Stacked Homes reports that Arcc Spaces has opened its fourth Singapore location at Bank of Singapore Centre (63 Market Street): 25,782 sq ft across floors 5–7, designed with The Afternaut Group. CEO Justin Chen frames CBD flex as places "where people want to dwell," with enterprise custom floors, private offices for teams up to 50, and a nature-led flex floor with coffee bar and wellness room.

Fourth Singapore site and still CBD-first while others flirt with suburban exits: Arcc is betting headquarters credibility still sells when the product is hospitality-grade and lease-flexible.

Macie Allen shares she has joined Lucid Private Offices as Chief Marketing Officer, leaving Craig Group. She thanks Flip Howard and John Egan for bringing her onboard.

Another private-office brand stacking senior marketing talent. In a crowded flex market, brand clarity is the hire that tells you which operators think they have a differentiated product.

Clockwise has appointed Adam Dangerfield as director of sales, joining from WeWork where he most recently served as VP, head of EMEA and Pacific SMB and digital sales. The hire follows recent additions of CEO Adam MacLeod, CCO Greg Miley and CFO Nick Iggulden.

Clockwise is stacking commercial leadership after the MacLeod era began. Watch whether the sales rebuild matches the brand ambition Dangerfield is talking about.

WOTSO is opening its fourth Victorian flexible workspace at Dandenong South, Melbourne, in landlord Pellicano’s M1 Hub, taking the ASX-listed operator to 40 open locations across Australia and New Zealand with four more in the pipeline. Regional Manager Millie Rowe Davies-Rowe frames it as Work Local expansion into industrial-park demand after CBD openings in Melbourne, Geelong and South Melbourne.

Suburban industrial parks as flex catchment is a sharp bet: different tenants than high street, and less CBD commute friction.

Holly Quinn reports that The Mill opened its third Delaware location on July 15 in Seaford (Sussex County), its first downstate site nearly 100 miles south of the Wilmington original hub. Founder Rob Herrera (9th Street Development) is anchoring coworking in the redeveloped Nylon Capital Center, a former DuPont company-town shopping hub.

County-by-county flex in a small state is economic-development coworking: the product is a catalyst for western Sussex entrepreneurship, not another CBD desk farm.

Expats Coworking (also OfficeXpats), Bainbridge Island’s original coworking community since 2011, held a July 20 ribbon-cutting at its new dedicated building at 350 Madison Avenue North after buying the property in 2025. Founders Jason Omens and Leslie Schneider moved from Bainbridge Pavilion; updates since May 1 include phone booths and hybrid-ready work zones. (Bainbridge Island sits in Puget Sound across from Seattle, Washington.)

A 15-year community operator buying its own building is the opposite of lease-churn flex: local roots as the expansion strategy.

Peter Tainsh shares that Waterman Workspaces has opened Waterman Box Hill at SKY SQR in Melbourne, after talks with landlord Golden Age since 2022. The fit-out drew input from the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse, with design-and-construct by Concept Commercial Interiors.

Another Work Local-style play in a transit-rich suburb: less commute, more living, same premium workspace ask.

Jeff Barnes announces a new EXPANSIVE Workspace management partnership at Old Mill Corporate Center in Salt Lake City: about 25,000 sqft across two floors, with a private patio off the member lounge plus campus amenities like cafe, covered parking and trail access.

Landlord management deals on amenity-rich suburban campuses keep showing up. Ownership gets flex offerings, without becoming the operator.

PLATF9RM shares floor plans for a new cafe, events space and coworking area on Floor 7 of Tower Point in Brighton, adding meeting rooms, phone booths, workspace and a coffee bar. Layouts are by Stickland Wright.

City-centre expansion via more F&B and events, not just desks: the community hub is the product.
