BOMA San Diego April Luncheon
Co-Working Megatrends: Expansion, Collaboration + Leadership The co-working trend continues to grow at an incredible pace. Recent reports indicate that from 2017 to 2018, coworking space grew almost 62% in the top 20 office markets in the U.S. In Q4 2017, those markets totaled 27M SF of shared office space, and by the end of 2018 that number had risen to 44M SF. Even landlords, including CBRE and Brandywine Realty Trust, are getting in on the action and have launched their own co-working brands. Two San Diego based co-working start-ups have made national headlines recently with concepts that are on the upswing. CommonGrounds Workspace, an enterprise-grade, human-centric Workplace-as-a-Service (WaaS) company that collaborates with asset owners to deliver WaaS to customers in multiple U.S. cities, just secured $100 million in Series A funding to support the company’s aggressive growth initiative. Hera Hub, a co-working space and business accelerator for women entrepreneurs, recently announced its eighth U.S. location with a new office in Temecula. At our April “Building the Leader in You” luncheon, we’ll meet two top executives from these growing enterprises.
