💌 A love letter to… a coworking space? #
Well not a coworking space per se, but a coworking leader, and the community they supported and held together for over a decade.
Espree Devora shared a letter she penned at 11:57pm on a Tuesday night to and for Jerome Chang and BLANKSPACES – what she calls "the invisible superpower" that’s been quietly fuelling her journey for over a decade.
What you all do matters. This is proof.

🤺 A response to operators from brokers (big and small) #
The disintermediation debate, that’s civilly evolved into an open dialogue between operators and brokers, gets a new addition this week. Jimmie Brennan from Love Mondays Office Space shared a note highlighting how many brokers and agents "hear" operators and that they feel the same, "but the responsibility goes both ways."
It’s a fascinating read, with some valid points. But the divide is still a little too wide. We’re thinking the industry may need a TWIC facilitated summit, or series of debates, or something!? Thoughts?

🇪🇺 Has this EU bill just killed multi-year subscriptions? #
Sona Sulakian shares what the EU Data Act may mean for multi-year Software as a Service (Saas) deals. In short, it "gives customers unprecedented power to walk away from any subscription with just two months’ notice".
Why are we sharing this here? Well if MOST of coworking products are subscription products, we probably need to look over our contract templates.

🥕 A local and brilliant partnership idea #
Ryan Fogelman shared some snaps from COHatch‘s most recent season of farmers market partnerships.

🤫 Are secret shoppers now part of landlord deals? #
Workbar CEO Sarah Travers recently shared that while finalizing an agreement to open a new location in a prominent Boston building, after a 12-month negotiation process, the building owner admitted to conducting a secret shopper visits – evaluating multiple Workbar locations before making a final decision.
Just as (or more) important as company equity structure, long-term vision, and operational capabilities, the owner was seeking feedback on the experience of the actual product: space energy, productivity, and community manager engagement.
The new location is described as one that would be recognizable even to those unfamiliar with Boston, though the specific address has not been disclosed. The TWIC team eagerly awaits to find out where this is!

📈 Coworking data.
📈 Canadian market projected to triple to $893M by 2030 #
Fresh off the annual Coworking Canada Conference, Optix shared some insightful data on Canada’s coworking industry.
Valued at $285M USD in 2023, it is projected to reach $893M by 2030, representing a 17.6% compound annual growth rate that outpaces many global markets. As of May 2025, Canada has approximately 883 coworking spaces, with flexible and shared offices now representing roughly 8% of the nation’s total office inventory, concentrated primarily in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. Hot desks average $200-400 CAD monthly while private offices range from $400-1,200+ CAD, with Toronto and Vancouver commanding the highest rates and Montreal offering more affordable options 20-30% lower than equivalent U.S. cities when converted to USD.
IWG is the largest operator with 13 new suburban locations announced in late 2023 totaling 168,000 sqft, while growth is accelerating in secondary cities like Calgary, Ottawa, Waterloo, and Halifax driven by hybrid work adoption and suburban expansion.

🇧🇪 Belgian flex space market recovers with 19% revenue growth #
Koen Batsleer shared his presentation for the The Belgian Workspace Association conference revealing that the flex sector now represents nearly 4% of Belgium’s total office market with over 544 locations totaling 949,532 sqm.
The market experienced exponential growth exceeding 10-15% annually from 2012 until COVID-19 and the energy crisis halted expansion from 2021-2024, but 2025 shows renewed growth above 10% with locations becoming larger and more profitable. Market turnover reached €400M in 2024, representing 19% year-over-year growth, while EBITDA increased to nearly €76M with margins approaching 20%, marking a full recovery from the over €10M losses experienced in 2020.
Similar to many discussions we have here at TWIC, the analysis advocates for management contracts between operators and landlords as a risk-sharing model that could make operators 20% more competitive while reducing landlord net rent by only 10%.
