The Next Big Thing in Office Space: Neighborhooding

David Jones, VP of operations and workshops at Knotel

NEW YORK CITY—The way people work is changing, and has been for some time. Companies like Google, Apple and Amazon have responded to this sea of change by developing sprawling campuses with holistic designs. While sponsored bike paths, napping rooms and restaurants are great, not every company has the financial firepower or infrastructure to bring them to life. That said, this trend won’t be inaccessible for long. Companies of all shapes and sizes are recognizing the inefficiency of trying to create top-flight amenities in-house.

Welcome to “neighborhooding,” the sharing economy for commercial real estate and the next big innovation in flexible space. Why? Because the workplace is still evolving rapidly and companies are beginning to demand it.
