In this episode of #WorkBold, your host Caleb Parker, talks to Jonny Rosenblatt co-founder of SpaceMade, who shares his journey in the flexible workspace industry and the shift in landlords' perception of flex space. He discusses the benefits of partnering with flex operators and the importance of delivering a hospitality-driven experience. Rosenblatt emphasizes the need for customization and brand differentiation in the flex market, as well as the potential for sector-specific spaces. He also highlights the challenges of building a sophisticated infrastructure and the importance of marketing and community curation in the industry. TAKEAWAYS Landlords are recognizing the need to partner with flex operators to deliver a hospitality-driven experience and drive the quality of their buildings. Flex space allows landlords to offer additional amenities and services to traditional tenants, enhancing the overall leasing proposition. Every office asset should have some level of flex and hospitality-driven space, but it may not work in every building or market. Brand differentiation and customization are crucial in the growing flex market, allowing operators to attract a diverse range of customers. The future of flex space may involve more sector-specific spaces that cater to specific industries and create a unique community..   Jonny Rosenblatt: LinkedIn | WebsiteWith over a decade of commercial real estate experience, Jonny has been at the forefront of the shift towards flexibility, hospitality, and community creation in the office market.

In this episode of #WorkBold, your host Caleb Parker, talks to Michael Kovacs from Castleforge to discuss the transformation in office space investments towards flexible workspace solutions. Castleforge, traditionally a real estate investor and developer, has pivoted towards investing heavily in 'Flex' space, creating their operator known as Clockwise. Mike delves into the decision to start their own flex space operation, initially tested in Glasgow, which resulted in a highly successful full building conversion to Flex, achieving over 90% occupancy and significantly higher desk rates than anticipated. The success at Glasgow prompted Castleforge to scale the model across their portfolio and purchase assets with an underwriting for flex space from the outset. The discussion also touches on the broader challenges office investors face in generating consistent cash flows and the potential for Flex space to offer a more reliable income stream. Mike further discusses a white paper released by Castleforge, arguing that traditional valuation models for office space are outdated and that Flex spaces, despite their discounted valuation, may offer a closer match to their economic value, thus presenting a compelling investment proposition. The episode concludes with considerations on the future of office space valuations and the evolution of investor models towards accommodating the growing demand for Flex spaces. Castleforge White Paper: Only the Paranoid (Office Investors) Survive   Michael Kovacs: LinkedIn | Website Prior to founding Castleforge in 2010, Michael worked at Westbrook Partners in London, where he was involved in transactions representing over £2bn of asset value for Westbrook's various funds in the UK, Europe and Asia across a diverse range of real estate investment types.

They dive deep into the pressing issues surrounding climate change and how the real estate sector can address them. With sustainability, climate risk, and ESG taking centre stage in recent years, the conversation explores topics like achieving net-zero carbon, the cost implications, and the concept of stranded assets.
