Spaces, a coworking firm owned by IWG, will lease 91K SF on three contiguous floors in Skanska’s 2+U Class-A+ office tower. The term is 13 years.
Spaces is a global coworking firm that originated in Amsterdam. It is a flexible work environment with coworking spaces, meeting rooms, private offices, conferencing facilities and event spaces.
“Seattle is one of the most vibrant markets in North America and home to an incredible ecosystem of large corporations, startups and entrepreneurs,” IWG Vice President of Network Development Michael Berretta said in a statement. “As we looked to expand our presence in the Pacific Northwest, 2+U stood out. Its prime location provides convenient access to everything the area offers — in terms of business and culture — creating an ideal home for our members in the heart of Seattle."
The company is expanding rapidly in North America. It will move into the 2+U building in the third quarter. With this addition, the office portion of the 686K SF tower is now 42% leased. Job search engine firm Indeed signed a lease to occupy 200K SF in the building in December.
“We welcome Spaces to 2+U and look forward to the global community of large corporations, startups, entrepreneurs, consultants and freelancers they will bring to our development,” Skanska Executive Vice President Murphy McCullough said in a statement. “As a creative work environment, Spaces will be a fantastic amenity to everything that 2+U offers.”
McCullough is head of commercial development operations in the Greater Seattle region.
