During 2022, the office real estate market showed signs of recovery, but it also learned that demand will no longer be the same compared to what it was before the pandemic, since now, companies are looking for greater flexibility, both in spaces and in contracts, which will set the trend for 2023.

According to the Solili real estate platform, companies are looking for more flexible spaces, where their employees have the possibility of working from home, but also with the option of going to a comfortable, safe office that encourages the worker to achieve results. .

"In general, flexible spaces and coworking models will continue to boom by 2023, since they have managed to interpret the expectations of new tenants who demand options tailored to their business models, in terms of spaces, costs and possibilities of growth and decrease”, Solili detailed in an analysis.

For Solili, technology has created a bridge that has allowed companies to generate a new concept that combines the best of face-to-face with remote work. In this context, Andrea Castellanos, spokesperson for WeWork, pointed out that the demand for more flexible spaces is driven by the need for employees to have a job that allows them to carry out their tasks in a hybrid way, with the opportunity to choose the hours, the days and the place where they want to work.

Faced with this scenario, office administrators and owners have had to evolve and create solutions to meet demand with disruptive spaces and models, such as coworking or membership systems.

The example has been set by renowned companies, which have sought that their workers have the benefits of hybrid work schemes, which in addition to retaining talent, has a positive impact on cost savings.

The WeWork board of directors explained that companies that apply hybrid models manage to retain their talent and 62% of the managers stated that operating costs are reduced, because jobs are decentralized, and the cost of energy and internet services are reduced. .

Thus, companies such as Google, Spotify and Dropbox have joined this labor trend, which has also modified their office occupancy scheme. Dropbox took the issue of collaboration to another level with its "Office studios", because under this strategy, the company carried out works to modify all its offices and convert them into spaces without a fixed desk in order to encourage collaboration among employees.
