Rosee Shrestha from Cobot recaps the Coworking Spain Conference in Barcelona… covering market data (Spain now has 1,069 active spaces), a Latin America operator panel, and sessions on occupancy, pricing, and the hospitality mindset in coworking.

The articles cover the latest data on Spain’s coworking market, operator perspectives from Latin America, growth strategies, AI and search, hospitality-inspired revenue models, and lessons from some of the industry’s most candid discussions.

In case you missed our podcast episode about this with Sam Rosen and Peter Kolaczynski, Yardi and Coworking Cafe have introduced an interactive dashboard for tracking US coworking data, benchmarked against office market data.

Best of all? It’s updated monthly.

CoworkingCafe’s latest analysis explores how live-work-play (LWP) developments have expanded across the US over the past decade. They tracked 542 developments completed between 2016 and 2025, along with 94 more projects in the 2026-2029 pipeline, to see how this building model is evolving nationally and across major cities.

The 542 LWP developments spanned 129.45M sqft. 2025 alone saw 67 completed projects. Residential remains the defining feature of these projects, averaging 62% of the sqftage nationally, compared to office (27%) and retail (11%).

The number of coworking spaces located within these developments in the top 10 cities for LWP buildings, rose from 35 in 2022 to 56 in 2026 – a 60% increase – highlighting the growing connection between flexible work and mixed-use environments.

With 119 developments, New York City has the largest LWP footprint in the country, well ahead of other major markets. The city also has 17 coworking spaces within these properties, reinforcing its position as both a mixed-use and flex office leader.

Several smaller markets stand out for coworking integration. San Francisco, for example, has just 7 developments, but six include coworking, giving it one of the highest coworking concentrations in the study. Meanwhile, cities such as Rochester and Philadelphia stand out for relatively large office footprints in their live-work-play projects, but no coworking presence so far.

Business Observer did a write-up on the burgeoning coworking market on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Featured are Julianna Rose Bertrand & Gina Tedesco from The Power House, The Hatchery at Babcock Ranch and Vast Coworking Group‘s vice president of development, Matt Cozza.

Rosee from Cobot shares a practical framework to help coworking spaces create a welcoming, well-paced first working week for new members, plus some marketing touches that build trust and support connection.
