😖 Is flex in a state of flux?
David M. Levitt asks if recent closures expose weaknesses of flex office space busieness models. The Expand 👇 article (behind a soft paywall hones in on the struggles of daybase and comments from their CEO Joel Steinhaus; WeWork (v1 and v2); and a landlord running flex space as a loss-leader.
In counter-arguments there are some positive snippets though from industrious’ Jamie Hodari, Convene’s Ryan Simonetti, and WeWork’s Annabelle Davis.
My thoughts? This year’s going to get bumpy for flex. Will this create opportunities for some operators? Abso-fudging-lutely.

🇺🇸 Listing platform shares list of largest US operators
CoworkingCafe (which you may remember we introduced as Yardi’s new booking platform in w29/22) Expand 👇 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.
