🥊 Landlord getting into flex pushes out community space #

🔽 The TAM for legacy office space is shrinking #
The total addressable market for legacy office space was assumed to be boundless: workers, teams, firms — all needed fixed desks and square feet. But demand has fractured across homes, third-places, and flexible work options. The result: the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for legacy, long-term leases is smaller than it once was.
Andrea Pirrotti-Dranchak makes the case that some landlords have an opportunity to develop their own agile office products to recapture demand. Is this a risk or opportunity for flex space operators?

Why this matters: AI agents tasked with carrying out transactions won’t wait around to try and make your systems work for them, especially in competitive markets. Not being ready for these "new kind of transactions leaves you vulnerable to not being included in future buying decisions.

🔫 C&Ds fired following WeWont campaign #
TechCrunch reports that WeWork have fired a cease and desist over to Codi following the latter’s "WeWont" popup marketing campaign. The C&D cites the "unauthorized use and misappropriation of WeWork’s intellectual property, false advertising and Tortious interference with WeWork’s contractual relations with its member companies".
Christelle Rohaut fired back saying they’d done nothing wrong when they set up booths outside WeWork offices in New York and San Francisco informing companies that their space might be shutting down, or by setting up a "WeWork Relief Fund" to provide discounted offices to businesses affected by closures.
What do you think? The popups outside spaces reminds me of another campaign some flex space brand did once. Worth noting that Codi categorically denies that they’re a coworking company.
