Aloha Susan, we opened in Jan 08 and have struggled due to our physical space of 4036sf. It does not fit the traditional serviced office suites model. In 2000 and late we decided to focus on the virtual side of the business and found that to be our success. We have been growing that model as well as the on demand use of day offices and meeting rooms. I also have joined with KW to offer their redundant meeting spaces to offer by the hour as well. Open collaboration space is great and I have dedicated two areas in my office to accommodate, but i also feel people need doors. And by that I mean four walls and a door for meetings. That is what i am putting together to offer. Adhoc on-demand meeting spaces at KW offices nation wide available by the hour, day, or longer. Hope to get full participation that could make 700+ locations available for independents to use. The locations are suburban and street level, will be economical and convenient unlike other facilities located in CBD downtown. This will eliminate the need for coworking spaces to have vacant redundant spaces like conference rooms, and can utilize 100% of the space for work.
