Irene Marin Pastor’s Post

It’s been a pleasure to participate in the webinar hosted by George Sell from the Urban Living News where we discussed the trends in the BTR, co-living and flex sectors with Zakee Ahmed from Livinc, Debra Yudolph from Say Property, Irene Marin Pastor from Knight Frank, and Richard B. from Blackbird Real Estate Advisory. It is fascinating how the industry is evolving and focusing on delivering superior customer experience. One of the major trends that I’ve observed through my advisory work with the major investors and property owners has been the integration of flexible office and coworking offering 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. My 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, feel free to get in touch. Wish you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year and look forward to a successful 2025 for all of us! 🎄🥳 JCR Advisors #flexibleoffices #BTR #retail #coworking #coliving #mixeduse #socialimpact
