🇬🇧 London demand for flex up 40%
Billy Hodges and Holly Bailey shared CBRE’s London Flex Market Update report for Q1 2026 that shows Expand 👇 tenant demand is up sharply, with flex requirements rising 40%, and 43% of transactions coming from TMT (tech, media, and telecom) clients, mostly AI-driven companies looking for smaller, agile spaces near major transport hubs.
Prime flex office rates are up roughly 10% across core submarkets, with operators like Runway East and Industrious expanding into high-quality West End locations, while landlords like Yoo Capital are increasingly partnering with flex operators rather than leasing to traditional tenants. CBRE expects 2026 to be a record year for flex transactions, driven by a tight development pipeline, fast-growing AI companies, and a maturing flex market that now supports longer-term occupier commitments.

🇬🇧 Forecast: Rapid expansion of London’s flex market & brandlords
allwork.space summarize the recent (but unfortunately email-gated) report from CBRE that forecasts a Expand 👇 rapid expansion, up to 20% of London’s office market by 2030. According the report, flex currently represents 12% of the UK capital’s total office footprint, but they expect this to grow to 20% (or 50M sqft) over the next 5 years. A key driver of this growth is the expansion of "brandlords" (or landlords who offer their own flex brands) which they predict will reach 3M sqft by 2030, up 200% from current levels.
They also identify "shadow flex market" as an emerging category – which is conventional office space that is not labeled/marketed as flex space, but made available on flex-like terms through negotiation.

🇪🇺 European flex allocation in corporate portfolios doubling
Sebastian Opalko shares how flex is reshaping Europe’s office market linking to CBRE’s 2025 European Expand 👇 Flex Market Update. It reveals that flexible space allocation in corporate portfolios increased from 12% in 2024 to 21% in 2025, with expectations reaching 29% by 2027, while 18% of respondents report over half their portfolio is now flexible space.
European operator take-up in H1 2025 declined 23% compared to H1 2024, though Amsterdam (+193%), Berlin (+119%), and Munich (+97%) posted significant growth while Frankfurt (-76%), Madrid (-74%), and Barcelona (-47%) saw reduced demand. The European flex penetration rate reached 2.52% across 31 tracked markets, with prime desk rates showing mixed growth led by London at 23% year-on-year (£1,500 to £1,850) and Madrid at 30% (€500 to €650). CapEx avoidance emerged as the primary driver for flex adoption at 64% (up from 46% in 2024), while IT/security challenges remain the top barrier at 54% of respondents.
The report highlights managed offices as a key growth area, with operators including Industrious, IWG, WeWork, Kitt and Knotel, noting IWG added 620 new centres last year but only 20 via traditional leases as operators shift toward management agreements and other partnership models.
