The modern workforce is shifting further away from traditional office settings — complete with stodgy, gray cubicles and colleagues standing around water coolers in a designated break room. Rather the workforce of the 21st century is moving toward modern coworking spaces defining the future of work. A Forbes articlerecently highlighted coworking as “one of the largest startup segments, hiding in plain sight,” and compared the industry to other booming trends such as fintech, virtual reality and drones.
Highlighting the industry’s growth further, a report by Deskmag found the average number of members per space roughly doubled during the past two years. Additionally, a U.S.-specific Deskmag report discovered the average size of a coworking space in the U.S. has doubled in the last two years and that 60 percent of coworking operators plan to expand their space this year. As this concept gains a foothold and more collaborative spaces pop up around the globe, the industry has become ubiquitous throughout the last few years, and it’s apparent in the millennial friendly Mile High City.
