Asen Stoyanchev from OfficeRnD shares a pretty complete guide on preparing your coworking space for sale, including expert tips from Craig Baute (DenSwap) and Jamie Russo (Everything Coworking), some resources to check out and a valuation calculator.

Craig Baute shares a case study about how Broadway Collective launched in a two-story mid-century brick building, whose floor plan and overall look was guided by Denswap data.

I think we’ll be seeing more and more of these kinds of conversions in urban and rural markets, alongside more bank conversions and other Main Street flex space offerings.

Craig Baute and the DenSwap team took a look at how 3 large coworking chains upped their Google Ad spend in 2023 from 2022.

Some takeaways: A lot of ad spend shifting towards meeting room keywords, which are more transactional so more spend-driven. The rise in spend can also be seen as a reaction to fill suddenly vacant space.

Craig Baute shares a sneak peak of DenSwap’s market research engine for property owners noting that "The old CRE metrics of office vacancy, lease rates, etc are less relevant than before. Office is now a consumer product and needs a B2C research methodology. It’s about building coworking spaces where customers are and having the right culture and layout that fits their needs. This new dashboard and tool is a big step forward."

Craig Baute shares that for the first time DenSwap have done more feasibility studies for landlords looking to backfill ex-WeWork spaces or evaluate coworking franchises than independent spaces looking to grow. Could be a sign of shifts in the market, or an opportunity for indie brands looking to get creative with landlord partnerships.
