Modern Workspaces and the Future of Commercial Real Estate

Modern workspaces and the future of commercial real estate are changing as a result of the rise in remote and hybrid work practices. With fewer people returning to the office, hybrid work, coworking, and flex spaces are the new normal. 

Hybrid work is great for companies that want the flexibility and choice of working in a home office or coming into an office building. Giving employees the option to come into an office space can help boost productivity and efficiency, while also encouraging work-life balance. 

In addition to hybrid work policies, coworking spaces are becoming increasingly popular as offices work to add more casual working space for employees. Coworking spaces are designed to accommodate employees who wish to work with others in a more casual setting as opposed to an office.  Recently, MSRE has added a coworking space and conference center to The Federal Reserve Building, complete with modern finishes and a newly-finished fitness center. Our coworking space is a great way for our office tenants to switch up their work routines throughout the week and help boost creativity. 

The use of flex spaces is also on the rise. Flex spaces are a great way for companies who want short-term leases or have unique commercial real estate office needs to acquire an office with not much commitment. A flexible space can be an office, research center, warehouse, or retail space with very little modification. If your business is in need of a flex space, visit our Class A and Class B office spaces throughout Downtown Seattle to find the perfect space for you.

MSRE is focused on evolving with the future of CRE and will help you create the workplace design your team needs.  With our in-house construction team, MSRE offers custom build-outs, architectural planning, and budget development services to design and build the perfect space for your business. 

Our real estate portfolio is full of properties that could be the perfect office space for companies with a hybrid approach to their business. If you are in need of a flexible or hybrid work  space,  contact our team, or take a look at our available office spaces.
