Why choose coworking instead of a traditional office?

For any company, the choice of workspace is a strategic decision. In this article, you will discover the strongest evidence that shows why coworking far outperforms the traditional office.

A booming industry: data that speaks for itself

• The global coworking market was valued at USD 14.9 billion in 2023, projected to reach USD 40.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.7% between 2024 and 2030.
• It is expected that by 2025 there will be more than 26,000 coworking spaces worldwide.

This shows that this is not a passing fad, but a global transformation accelerated by technologies, work culture and corporate demand.

So we give you 5 powerful reasons to choose coworking over a traditional office:

Unprecedented flexibility

A coworking grows with you and adapts to your specific needs. No rigid 10-year contracts: you only pay for the space you use, when you need it. From 2-person teams to 500-employee companies, coworking allows for smart scale. If a team like Cobee's (which started with 25 people) went on to occupy an entire floor with 100 people, why couldn't your company do the same without contractual complications?

Transparent costing with greater financial control

Forget about separate bills: water, electricity, internet, cleaning, maintenance, all in one bill. Coworking takes advantage of economies of scale to offer better prices, which translates into real savings compared to a traditional office.

Premium" installations, at no extra cost

It has nothing to envy from a corporate headquarters: natural light, meeting rooms, private offices, gyms, cafeterias, terraces, and even swimming pools. What impression would you leave on your clients and team by welcoming them in a modern, inspiring and comfortable environment?

Comprehensive management without distraction

Coworking frees you from day-to-day operational management: printers, high-speed internet, packaging, cleaning, maintenance... All done without lifting a finger! This allows your team to focus on what really matters: growing.

Community, networking and talent retention

The community is not just a place, it is a network: training events, workshops, sports and leisure activities. This ecosystem generates connections, collaboration opportunities and a sense of belonging that increases motivation and talent retention.

Comparison coworking vs traditional office

Coworking is not only for freelancers or small companies.

During the first years of coworking in the market, the segmentation of the public was limited to freelancers and small companies looking to share space to reduce costs and surround themselves with a community. 

But the fertility of these ecosystems, coupled with the paradigm shift in corporate human resources and digital transformation, has made the market open to any type of structure.

So much so that even players in the real estate sector that until now only offered traditional office rentals are beginning to flirt, more or less successfully, with this business model. 

This is a clear sign that flexible spaces are no longer residual, and are becoming a prominent option in the search for corporate headquarters. 

The question is, what has changed to make large companies now rely on flexible spaces over traditional offerings?

There are three main reasons for this:

• The proliferation of fast-growing startups that require flexibility in conditions and space.
• The importance of attracting and retaining talent in companies
• The ease of management that coworking facilities offer
• Digital transformation

What are the benefits of coworking for startups or corporates?

In contrast to the rigidity of the traditional real estate market, flexible spaces offer new business models the opportunity to transform themselves as many times as they want. Moreover, their offer is not limited to square meters. They offer complementary services to manage any need the company may have. From tax advice, to event organization, human resources management or catering service for employees. Something highly valued especially for foreign companies that do not know the economic-social context. 

Workspaces are no longer conceived as mere offices with desks and chairs, but have to provide additional value. And therein lies the success of coworking. 

The contact with a community composed of companies of different sizes and characteristics, allows coworkers to have an organic and fluid networking. In addition, the weekly training and leisure events organized brighten up the work week and help to improve employee satisfaction and, therefore, talent retention.

In the case of Aticco, the design of the spaces is conceived as a hybrid between work and leisure spaces. In this way, it aims to respond to the demand of companies looking for offices with added value for their employees. From large event areas to host talks, workshops or concerts, to game rooms, swimming pools, terraces, relaxation areas with hammocks and sofas... 

In addition to the space and all the facilities offered, it is worth highlighting and emphasizing these factors that benefit companies:

• Management of all procedures
• Networking with other companies
• Contact with companies that have experienced exponential growth, to learn from the process.
• Offering of training and leisure events
• Free weekly activities for workers such as yoga, pilates, etc.
• Complementary services to help facilitate day-to-day operations
