The thread kicked off a wide-reaching discussion, with 40+ comments from across the industry at time of curation.

ASX-listed flexible workspace operator WOTSO (ASX: WOT) opened its first Auckland CBD location in early September 2025 in partnership with landlord Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Rawa. The space occupies ground floor premises in AECOM House, an eight-storey A-Grade building in the Te Tōangaroa eastern CBD precinct, featuring 13 offices, 14 coworking desks, and two meeting rooms. The fitout utilized XFrame’s patented wall framing technology that can be installed or deconstructed in hours for reuse, supporting circular economy principles.

WOTSO now operates 35 flexible workspaces across Australia and New Zealand with over 6,000 members, and plans to open its fourth New Zealand location in Whangārei in early 2026.

Many operators open spaces with the intention of welcoming customers of all shapes and sizes, but find it difficult to land enterprise accounts. Whether that be from brokerage firms or direct outreach. Kayley DiCicco from Expansive shares her experience in developing a profitable enterprise sales vertical from scratch over five years, starting with cold calling Fortune 1000 companies despite limited brand recognition in the flexible workspace market.

The strategy development process involves defining the market, shaping product offerings, crafting targeted messaging, building sales processes, establishing credibility, and scaling through iteration with operations and marketing teams.

Meredith M. shares how the flagship location of the Cambridge Innovation Center offers a unique workspace called the Kangaroo Room. This private office is stocked with toys and play items for children to enjoy.

Another great example of how operators are creatively offering working parents unique workspace solutions, without necessarily having to provide full time child care.
