Coworking spaces in U.S. thrive in suburban shift
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES — The co-working landscape has dramatically changed as major players like WeWork have struggled, creating a new wave of localized and personalized co-working spaces in the suburbs.
Remote working has fueled demand for convenient “third places” to work outside home and office.
SheSpace in Houston, targeting professional women, is fully booked with a waitlist, causing its founder Stephanie Tsuru to consider statewide Texas expansion. Strategically situated near affluent neighborhoods, the space offers unmatched convenience for members.
WeWork’s competitors, like IWG and Industrious, are enjoying strong growth, meeting the need for flexible offices. These spaces attract diverse professionals from startups, tech, and remote roles.
Learning from past mistakes, new co-working ventures offer lower rates and personalized experiences. Big players like Industrious now have 70% of space outside business districts.
Unique offerings like Bedford Studio in Manhattan demonstrate the trend toward niche, accessible co-working.
With amenities like discounted coffee and power outlets, these cost-effective spaces serve today’s diverse remote workforce. The co-working movement is not just surviving but evolving as companies large and small adapt to the needs of a growing remote workforce.
