Coworks

Landlords... Would you rather sink all your money into one tenant... ...or would you rather have hundreds of members and companies in your space? That's one of the questions Michael Abrams of Flexspace Advisors puts to landlords (via DeShawn Brown) to understand the mindset shift from traditional leasing to flex offices. DeShawn had asked, "when we talk about the cost per tenant, one of the barriers for flex operator and for commercial real estate landlords is the cap expense. And, just the cost to change out a whole floor and and add more dollars." Watch the full conversation here: https://hubs.ly/Q02LPPXk0

In the suburbs of Chicago, a community hub has taken root. COCIAL, a coworking space founded by Matt Irvin, is redefining what it means to be a neighborhood gathering place. With an unwavering focus on cultivating growth — for individuals, businesses, and the community at large — Irvin has created a unique space that is equal parts launchpad, think tank, and local hangout. Though he spent years living and working far from his Midwestern roots, Irvin eventually found himself drawn back to the region where he grew up. "I grew up in Addison, so we're Midwesterners at heart as well," Irvin shared. He and his wife, a therapist, left the Chicago suburbs as children but returned with their own three kids in tow. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Irvin operated a coworking space under a different brand. "Out there, you didn't really need to educate anybody on what coworking was. Everybody just sort of knew," he recalled. But when the pandemic hit and their Bay Area lease expired in September 2020, the Irvin family headed back to the Chicago suburbs.

It's what most cities want... To be seen as a hub of innovation. A place where homegrown businesses thrive and entrepreneurs flock.

Citi Medina’s journey into #coworking was driven by a need to address obstacles he encountered as an Afro-Latinx and queer entrepreneur. 14 years ago, he moved to Newark, New Jersey to collaborate with the city's administration. With more commercial space than needed for his creative agency, he began to offer programming to build awareness and integrate into the community. “We were doing art and tech activations for free, just to become part of the city and grow our ecosystems organically,” he explained.
