TAKEAWAYS

• Landlords are recognizing the need to partner with flex operators to deliver a hospitality-driven experience and drive the quality of their buildings.

• Flex space allows landlords to offer additional amenities and services to traditional tenants, enhancing the overall leasing proposition.

• Every office asset should have some level of flex and hospitality-driven space, but it may not work in every building or market.

• Brand differentiation and customization are crucial in the growing flex market, allowing operators to attract a diverse range of customers.

• The future of flex space may involve more sector-specific spaces that cater to specific industries and create a unique community..
