No longer the sole domain of freelancers, micro busineses and start-ups, coworking is taking the Asia Pacific by storm as large companies jump on board the trend, says Yardi’s Neal Gemassmer. According to research by Cushman & Wakefield, coworking has accelerated rapidly throughout the Asia Pacific region, with roughly 750,000 sqm of space leased over the last two years alone. America’s largest coworking company, WeWork, now has 300 offices in 62 global cities, while China’s Naked Hub and Ucommune are also making waves around the region. Gemassmer, Yardi’s vice president for international business, says demand from corporates has been the one of the biggest coworking drivers. He points to research from Cushman & Wakefield, which finds the number of coworking enterprise-level companies – those with more than 500 employees – has doubled in the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the share of freelancers and independent workers has dropped by nearly 15 per cent over the last three years. “Large companies are on the hunt for space that is flexible, that enhances collaboration, and that fosters a creative culture – all characteristics of a coworking environment,” Gemassmer says. So, what are the three coworking trends to watch in 2018? Innovation acceleration “An innovation culture is an essential ingredient in a modern workplace, particularly as disruption continues to drive many companies out of business,” Gemassmer says. “Nurturing new ideas is critical to any company facing industry disruption.” Google has established community hubs, which it calls “campuses” to cultivate a community of entrepreneurs. Coders and creatives, innovators and investors can work together while locals catch up for coffee. Similarly, Unilever has set aside an entire floor of its regional headquarters in Singapore for start-ups to set up shop, and for its own team members to connect. “Coworking can...
