More and more companies are looking for flexible spaces to install offices and warehouses, since they require facilities that can be modified, even add square meters or workstations according to their needs, a model that was extended after the effects of the pandemic.

One of the determining factors of its popularity is that it reduces risk and investment for interested companies.

Due to the number of second-generation properties available, investors have chosen to make improvements and make their portfolio more flexible.

In the case of offices, companies seek to reconfigure their space at the same time that their business is transformed. For this, they want alternatives that do not force them to change the location.

Flexible options are very popular among entrepreneurs or startups with few staff and who avoid long-term contracts.

According to Danny Quirós, director of Market Research for Newmark, there are elements that users value much more in terms of "Flex offices".

“They look for models with shorter terms and facilities to operate. Everyone tries to reduce or adjust the spaces according to the circumstances and temporality”, he explained.

Although this model has already existed in the region for several years, in recent months providers have announced new expansion plans.

For the industrial sector, flexible space means a structure with high ceilings that contains an open floor plan. Warehouses of this type can be modified to suit the individual needs of the tenants. Individual areas are leased for uses such as: personal services, retail, and office or showroom space.

All this, in combination with storage, research and distribution facilities, as well as other light industrial uses.

Although the model has evolved for ten years, after the quarantine measures it has become more dynamic.

“The needs are quite visible and the trends point to an adaptation of the owners to have this type of offer. More tenants are exploring the possibilities of making a change towards this type of offer”, concluded Quirós.
