Industrious partnered with Brightline to open workspaces at four Florida train stations including Miami Central, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, offering meeting rooms ranging from 210 to 652 square feet with video conferencing capabilities. The spaces feature private phone booths, quiet work areas, lounges, and complimentary food and bar access, with bookings available to anyone through the Industrious website, not just members. A unique offering includes the ability to book an entire private train car accommodating up to 66 people for team meetings or events while traveling between cities.

This initiative follows Industrious’ $800 million acquisition by CBRE in early 2025 and other travel partnerships including Delta Business Traveler and the IKEA Hej! Workshop location in San Francisco, as the group sees partnerships as a model for future expansion into high-traffic, non-traditional spaces.

IKEA’s Hej!Workshop has launched in Greenwich, London. Offering free parking, free hours of child supervision and day passes from just £25, it’ll be interesting to see how the concept lands in one of the world’s most competitive coworking markets.

Gustaf Sternhagen shares that Hej!Workshop, the coworking concept from IKEA has just opened it’s third location. Located in the Ingka Centers ItalieDeux location in Paris, the coworking space is being run by Morning, a local coworking operator and is co-located with 114 other shops including, of course an IKEA.

Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal cover IKEA’s trajectory from idea to $50B in annual revenue (in detail) on the Acquired podcast. Why is this here? Listen out for what they’re doing with Inkga Centers, and the warchest they have to deploy, and then see their own coworking brand Hej!Workshop.

Coworking Europe shares that IKEA are opening their second Hej!Workshop location on the continent in Bratislava, Slovakia.

"The news comes out after a successful launch of their first center in Stockholm last year. The free-to-access coworking space is located in Avion Shopping Park, a property the mother company of IKEA owns. Located on the 1st floor of the Commercial Center, the space will offer 16 workstations bookable online, all days of the week, and will be fully furnished by IKEA."
