Jessie Glew shares findings from a recent pricing experiment the WOTSO team ran last month – and what it could highlight around how businesses are changing their relationships with office space.

The expriment? They dropped their day pass price from $66 to $22 each. The findings? Day pass revenue more than doubled (up to 6% of total rev) and the way people purchased changed (close to 70% were buying passes via e-com portal vs 30% the month before).

Also, a few businesses bought in VOLUME, with some grabbing up to 1,000 day passes.

WOTSO officially opened their Gregory Hills location. Now while their growth is impressive (this is their 8th location in Western Sydney, and 42nd overall), it’s the emphasis on where this location is that’s most interesting here.

It’s 60km (or 37ish miles) from the Sydney CBD, which according to Google is commute time of between 75 and 105+ minutes each way during peak hours. Thats driving or public transport. So Jessie Glew and the team are def leaning into their new Work Local mantra.

WOTSO shares that they’ve exchanged contracts to acquire their fourth commercial property in New Zealand.

The acquisition reflects WOTSO’s continued enthusiasm for the New Zealand coworking market and its confidence in the long-term growth of coworking across the region. Wellington will become WOTSO’s fifth location in New Zealand, with four of those locations now operating from assets owned by the Group.

WOTSO share that they’ve launched PickleSpace at their Pyrmont location, adding two pickleball courts under their management. The courts are bookable by the hour, and available for corporate events.

Regional Manager Matilda Eder says pickleball is considered Australia’s fastest-growing sport and tournament-grade courts such as Pyrmont are in short supply.
