Swiss coworking operator Westhive is opening a ninth location in Zurich Altstetten, a 5,000 sqm workspace and hospitality hub that will also include a food and beverage concept called "The Kitchen Yard."
The food offering launches in October 2026, with coworking and office spaces following in October 2027, funded by a new growth capital round that helped the company report over €21.5 million in annual revenue while staying profitable. Founded in 2017, Westhive now operates across Zurich, Zug, Basel, and Geneva with around 2,000 workstations.

Westhive Coworking Ecosystem, one of Switzerland’s leading coworking operators, has launched an innovative mobile workspace solution with their Westhive Express buses. These converted double-decker buses feature coffee bars, Wi-Fi, power outlets, modern workstations, and outdoor seating areas that can be positioned in various scenic locations throughout Switzerland.
The mobile coworking spaces will be bookable exclusively through Airbnb as part of their "Live & Work Anywhere" program, rather than traditional coworking booking platforms. Having established locations in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Zug since their 2017 founding, Westhive plans to expand this mobile workspace concept internationally.
ICYMI: This isn’t the first flex workspace we’ve seen on a bus. One of our editors remembers working for a day or two from Incubus’ double-decker bus in London, UK in 2014.
