In this report we are looking at the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the evolution of the flexible office market in 2020.
The flexible workspace sector in 2020 held up better than initially expected with some 527,000 sqm of new flexible workspaces established across the 42 European and Middle Eastern markets surveyed.
“The conclusions of the report can be extended to Belgium: significantly fewer new coworking spaces opened in 2020 and many expansion plans have been put on hold”, completes Annick Vandenbulcke, Head of Occupier Advisory and Managing Director of Colliers Belgium. “On the other hand, companies are now thinking about their way of working in the post-covid era, and regional flexible spaces as an alternative to working from home are certainly part of that reflection.”
