The evolution of the workforce is creating a demand for alternative office space resulting in the growth of co-working spaces – places where individuals can rent a desk of their own while sharing a range of other facilities with their co-tenants. This turnkey solution for the growing population of self-employed, “gig” workers and telecommuters offer a traditional office environment without the demand and expense of managing the overhead.
The evolution and expansion of shared office spaces is a global movement with trendy, focused and growing locations finding success in the US, Canada, the UK, Beijing, and India where co-working is likely to grow upwards of 50% in 2017.
