WeWork might be dead, but coworking lives on (thehustle.com)
While many WeWork locations were in busy downtown areas, today’s hybrid and remote workers are looking to minimize lengthy commutes by finding coworking space closer to their homes.
Pre-pandemic, 30% of the Industrious locations were outside of major business districts. Today, it’s 70%.
This means the future of coworking might look more suburban, with spaces increasingly springing up in residential areas — like your local coffee shop, but better.
This actually makes so much sense. The vast majority of people who don’t want to come back to the office are people with the long and crappy commutes. Get them working closer to their home, and it would help tremendously.
