Share of coworking space take up in selected cities in Europe 2019

With approximately 23 percent of the office space in a big market like London City offered as flexible workspace as of 2019, it's obvious that the coworking phenomenon, along with the changes it brings to the real estate market, is not to be underestimated. Flexible office space, also coworking space or shared office space, refers to commercial office space that allows short-term leases to individuals, freelancers, small and medium enterprises, and other professionals. In contrast to traditional offices, flexible offices provide equipped and serviced office premises without long-term rent commitment. Multiple factors influence the increasing demand for flexible office space, such as economic growth, job creation, innovation and property market fundamentals.
