πŸ“° Are remote corporate workers are the future of coworking?

The New York Times looks at if coworking spaces and ‘displaced’ remote workers are a match made in heaven.

Noting benefits for remote workers like escaping chaotic homes, reduced commutes and finding a community, Roy Furchgott wonders if coworking is no longer ‘just’ for entrepreneurs. They’re right, it isn’t, but nice to see some research showing that 16% of some spaces are now remote workers.

Brands mentioned in a favorable light include American Underground, Regus, Industrious, Hera Hub, and Blackbird House.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Listing platform shares list of largest US operators

CoworkingCafe (which you may remember we introduced as Yardi’s new booking platform in w29/22) shares who the largest US operators are according to their data/listings based on number of locations.

The top 15 are: Regus (832), WeWork (246), Industrious (135), Spaces (117), Premier Workspaces (87), Office Evolution (81), Workstyle Flexible Workplaces (60), Intelligent Office (45), Expansive (43), Venture X (42), LocalWorks (31), COhatch (30), Carr Workplaces (27) and Serendipity Labs (27). They also share that they’d say there’s 5,723 locations nationally.

I’m not sure about these results given I’ve not seen the data, but the national number seems very low, and Regus + Spaces are the same operator, but different brands, but interesting nevertheless.
