Marcello Gauss shares that EXPANSIVE are opening their first location in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you’re trying to build something expansive, inclusive, and future-focused in your coworking space, it’s worth asking: Are we building community that reinforces sameness or community that invites growth?

Cat Johnson notes that the most powerful coworking communities don’t just make people feel like they belong, they help people elevate their work and their lives. You are social capital superchargers. You are force multipliers.

WeWork announced the expansion of its Coworking Partner Network by adding more than 1,000 third-party locations across the U.S. and Canada, nearly one year after launching the program in October 2024.

The network now includes more than 600 national, regional and specialty coworking operators providing access to workspaces in more than 500 U.S. and Canadian markets, with partners including EXPANSIVE and Pacific Workplaces.

The expanded network is currently available to WeWork’s large enterprise members through the WeWork Workplace technology platform, building on the initial partnership with Vast Coworking Group which provided access to 75 locations in 50 markets. WeWork is investing more than $80 million in capital investments across its portfolio this year. For more information on the network, check out this interview we did back when this was announced last year.

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.
