Ever since remote work became a norm in our society, the concept of traditional coworking has been on the decline. By 2025, experts predict that nearly 33 million Americans will work remotely, leaving people more isolated than ever. Because of this, many people are struggling to bring back a sense of community within the workplace. Less than half of coworking spaces are profitable, and it is expensive to maintain interesting and useful collaboration spaces.
Fluctuations in membership are the top challenge for coworking spaces, with workplace preferences varying from employee to employee. However, a new paradigm is taking root, fostering community through work. The newest community coworking in NYC spaces are creating sustainable niche communities. They are combining work and play to bring the need for community back to our workplaces. These new spaces are created in underutilized hotel, bar, and restaurant spaces, using existing real estate to breathe new life into our cities. Singlehandedly reviving the authentic spirit of coworking, these spaces have a bright future in all types of industries.
