Company Strategy: “Co-working Move Over, I Need A Breather”

Breather office rendering

NEW YORK CITY—Even with WeWork, Knotel, CBRE’s Hana, and Brookfield’s arrangements with Convene, yet another competitor is in the crowded pool of Manhattan’s non-traditional office lease marketplace. Breather, a flexible office space company founded in Montreal, signed a lease with GFP Real Estate, the Gural family’s firm. It’s for 17,850 square feet at 322 Eighth Ave. The company is occupying the third and 18th floors.

In early June 2019, they’ll be offering two offices and two meeting spaces in the building. Breather will give clients their own dedicated office space with the option to use on-demand additional meeting space in the same building. The technology platform allows landlords and tenants to access a real-time digital booking system that requires minimal maintenance or management. Tenants at 322 Eighth Ave. and businesses elsewhere can book the space.
