Summary

  1. What are coworking and flex office owners doing to meet the needs of tenants right now?

  2. In what ways could design and functionality change post-pandemic and what can be done to plan for the future of coworking now?

  3. What is the leasing outlook for these spaces? How are owners thinking about the demand for remote workspaces post-pandemic?

  4. How are operators helping small businesses that lease their spaces?

  5. How could the co-working and and flex office space models be fundamentally changed by coronavirus pandemic?

While New Yorkers hunker down and anxiously await the time when they can return to work and a life outside of small apartments, Governor Cuomo has been encouraging them to reimagine society. For the Real Estate industry, the trend of shared space has been influencing most major asset classes for quite some time, and many wonder what is to come of coworking and flexible office spaces as the modern workspace is reimagined.  

Join Bisnow, Convene Co-Founder and CEO, Ryan Simonetti, Knotel Co-Founder, Amol Sarva, and Transwestern Partner Lindsay Ornstein, for an in-depth discussion of what lies ahead for the modern office space. We will discuss how coworking and flex office space companies are communicating with tenants during this pandemic, how they are working to help small and large businesses within their spaces, what tough decisions need to be made now, and how the model could be completely changed by a new way of conducting business in the short and long term.
