Coworking spaces continue to rise in popularity even after the pandemic. With no end in sight, commercial property owners with office buildings may find benefit in joining the trend. Working with a company like LocalWorks allows commercial property owners to easily transform their space into a flexible workspace.
What Does a Flexible Workspace Need?
LocalWorks’ flexible workspaces provide the same amenities that you would find in a typical office building. The only difference is that it is simply include in the month-by-month, subscription-style payment plan. Some of these amenities include:
- 24/7 access and security
- Updated tech
- Printers
- Private office spaces and open coworking space

For commercial property owners, LocalWorks is able to transform an office building into a space that satisfies the needs of both individuals in need of a virtual office space and companies look to rent out a space for their business. That provides an even higher demand space than simply an office building where companies pay rent for a space.
Ideal Locations to Work with LocalWorks
LocalWorks prefers office buildings located in ideal areas surrounded by attractions that their members would enjoy including shopping centers, restaurants, and parks.
At the moment, coworking spaces have really taken office in metro areas like Chicago, D.C. and Boston.
SHARED OFFICE SPACE IN BOSTON

At the same time, employees working virtually are in search of space away from their apartments but still in the city. For both groups, LocalWorks provides exactly what they need.
LocalWorks already offers eight locations across Massachusetts and is still expanding. For commercial property owners, it’s a reassurance that office buildings are not dying out any time soon.

In Chicago, the need for coworking office space is not much different. The ability to repurpose an office building to become a coworking space has saved commercial property owners’ investments in those types of buildings.
LocalWorks already runs five coworking office spaces in the Greater Chicago area in Downers Grove, Lisle, Naperville, Rolling Meadows, and Wheeling.
