Report shows real estate leaders continue to see value in co-working

Cushman & Wakefield has released a report that reveals corporate perceptions of the value of flexible workspace and co-working strategies.

Cushman & Wakefield partnered with CoreNet Global, a worldwide association of corporate real estate executives, to survey more than 550 key commercial real estate (CRE) executives at organizations around the world. Participants were asked about their general perceptions of the co-working sector, the pros and cons of using co-working, expected impacts on cost, and past and future employee utilization of flexible office spaces.

Key findings of the report include:

“The results show that corporate leaders have a generally positive view of co-working and see flexible space as a growing part of their occupancy strategy,” said Dav
