PROVIDENCE, RI –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iwgplc.com/en-gb/develop-a-location?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">International Workplace Group (IWG)</a>, the world’s largest flexible workspace organization with over 3,300 locations across 1,200 cities worldwide, recently announced the signing to open a new flexible workspace in Providence, Rhode Island. As a result of the growing demand for flexible workspaces, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, IWG is poised for significant growth in both suburban and urban markets across North America. This prominent partnership is an important step as IWG expands its footprint in the region.The new Regus center is located at 235 Georgia Avenue. The space was renovated in 2022 and is located in the highly desirable area known as ManuCenter. Building amenities include a fitness center.&nbsp;“We are happy to bring more flexible workspace options to the Ocean State,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/wayne-berger-174a3a5?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wayne Berger</a>, CEO of IWG Americas. “Providence is a wonderful city and we are happy to provide community members with the best workspaces to fit their needs.”Currently, 42% of the U.S. workforce is working remotely on a full-time basis, and the global&nbsp;flexible workspace industry is projected to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210604005309/en/Coworking-Space-Global-Market-Report-2021-COVID-19-Growth-and-Change-to-2030---ResearchAndMarkets.com?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nearly double in size</a>, from $7.97 billion to $13.03 billion, by 2025.&nbsp;<a href="https://milehighcre.com/jll-predicts-30-of-office-space-will-be-flexible-by-2030/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">According to JLL,&nbsp;</a>by 2030, 30% of all commercial office space will represent flexible workspaces, whereas today, it is less than 4%.“The flexible workspace industry is growing exceptionally fast,” said Berger. “The pandemic forced most people to work from home for two years, creating a monumental shift in how employees want to work moving forward, and how companies are supporting their employees and their bottom line. People want flexibility, and progressive companies understand the financial and operational advantages of moving a percentage of their real estate portfolio from a traditional lease model to flexible workspaces. This signals that flexible workspaces are the future of the global work environment, and IWG offers investors an exciting opportunity to get in now while there is still room.”IWG offers four flexible workspace concepts under its umbrella to match every kind of business, work style and price point, including professional workplace brand&nbsp;<a href="https://www.regus.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Regus</a>, creative workplace brand&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacesworks.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Spaces</a>, hassle-free workplace brand&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hq.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HQ</a> and luxurious workspace brand Signature.&nbsp;With over three decades of experience, IWG has fine-tuned its business model to optimize revenue and provide business investors and property management companies with an attractive opportunity.&nbsp;“As opposed to a traditional capital lease, business investors can sign a partnership agreement with IWG and invest the capital in converting the space into a dynamic and productive flexible workspace, earning operating income from day one, a higher return on net assets and increased flexibility,” said Berger. “For business investors, IWG represents a unique opportunity to enter the booming flexible workspace industry, which offers wide open territory availability, low start-up costs, simplified operations and more.”The new signing in Providence is the latest addition to the IWG footprint, expanding rapidly as it capitalizes on the fast-growing demand for flexible workspaces. The team plans to open several more locations in the region.“The world is seeing a complete renaissance of the workplace,” said Berger. “90% of employees want to work in a flexible way, 88% of companies have instated flexible arrangements and 50% of employees say they will leave their job if they can’t work flexibly. We’ve been a big part of that evolution, and we are excited to continue expanding in markets across North America, from big cities to small towns.”&nbsp;Looking ahead, IWG aims to add 1,000 new locations in North America a year as it continues to attract a variety of business investors, property management companies, banks and asset managers.&nbsp;Commercial landlords can learn more about partnering with IWG&nbsp;<a href="https://work.iwgplc.com/PartnerWithUs/landlords?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-signs-agreement-for-new-regus-location-in-providence-rhode-island-2723968" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
