  • Lisa Cations MRICS, Founder and Managing Director of JCR Advisors participated in the webinar hosted by George Sell from the Urban Living News where we discussed a panel of outstanding speakers: Zakee Ahmed from Livinc, Debra Yudolph from Say Property, Irene Marin Pastor from Knight Frank and Richard Berridge from Blackbird Real Estate Advisory discussed the trends in the BTR, co-living and flex sectors. Lisa Cations spoke about how the flex the industry is evolving and how the property owners and operators are focusing on delivering superior customer experience. One of the major trends that highlighted was the integration of flexible office and coworking offerings into the landlord residential schemes. This is becoming a new norm where flex and coworking: 1) generate substantial returns to the landlords unlocking new revenue streams, 2) drive the rental upside in their living assets through ca 25%+ increase in rent in the properties with the flex space offered to the residents, 3) reduce the leasing period in their rental assets by offering flex as part of the amenity at the discounted rate to the residents, whilst also opening it up to the external members to create a diverse member base and additional revenue streams. Lisa Cations’ predictions for 2025 are: 1) We’ll be seeing more residential, BTR and co-living schemes including flex and coworking as part of their amenity offering. 2) Property owners will be launching their own coworking and flex brands to deliver a distinguished experience, retain control and directly engage with the customers. 3) Flex and coworking spaces will be delivering social impact value to the property owners and local authorities who will be solving the affordability problem and incentivising affordable workspaces through CAPEX funding grants and including flex in the planning application requirements. If you’d like to learn more about the flexible offices and how they can generate returns to the landlords and investors in the office, mixed use, retail and residential schemes, get in touch with us. We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year and look forward to a successful 2025 for all of us! 🎄🥳

    Thank you to everyone who played a part in another great Women in Flex event this afternoon, once again run by the Flexible Space Association in partnership with technologywithin. We changed the format a little from previous events. We began with a panel discussion hosted by Natasha Guerra, CEO of Runway East who were kindly hosting us in Bloomsbury, London. She asked questions of Myf Plunkett, Lisa Cations MRICS and Suzanne Murdock. All shared some great insights on their career paths, advice they’d give others in the flexible workspace sector to progress their careers, and what they’d learned from juggling work and personal lives. We then had a very informative session from Rebecca (Becs) Bate 🐑 on how to best utilise LinkedIn professionally, with tips on everything from building a network to creating engaging posts. We finished off with an opportunity to make new industry connections over drinks. Thanks to everyone who came. Keep an eye out for future FlexSA events on our website! #flexibleworkspace #flexiblespace #coworkingspace #coworking #servicedoffices #womeninflex
