Actually, while I agree that mega-coworking spaces do obviously skew the results, we do have to take into consideration the fact that the majority (At least in the U.S) of coworking spaces are in fact located in cities. If you're to take the top 10 coworking cities, NYC, SF, Houston, Los

When I’m referring to hot-desks, I’m not actually talking about what the coworking space calls it…I’m actually talking about the “come in and use a desk” members compared to the “participate and get connected to the community” members.  coworking in smaller areas can be very difficult to

I’m a big fan of Jeannine’s theory here. Lots of data tends to skew to more urban coworking examples, and even worse, gets skewed further by outlier mega-cities (where density and demand for ANY space makes it very easy for a coworking space to appear more sustainable than it really is). There

I thiought this was interesting: Of all the places polled, it seemed on average that most coworking spaces hovered around 50% capacity. While no one wants to stuff their space so full of people that no one can move, this does mean that coworking spaces have room to grow. Studies in the past

This is fascinating. Most of the spaces I have talked to in Canada are closer to 75% full normally. It opens up a broader discussion about demand and how in most markets, there's no way that supply has exceeded demand. I believe that the problem is awareness of coworking as a viable option for
