TRANSCRIPT
COWORKING BREAKS NEW RECORDS/2018
Auckland’s coworking scene continues to evolve, and rapidly. It is now the fastest growing occupier of office space in the city and we expect this trend to continue.
The Auckland evolution follows similar global trends where the number of coworking spaces and members are growing at a solid clip.
Worldwide the number of coworking spaces is projected to increase by 22% to 18,900 for calendar 2018, and members by 33% to 1,690,000 per the latest Deskmag Global Coworking survey. The survey also points to an emerging trend towards bigger coworking spaces.
Looking at the Auckland scene, the total amount of coworking space has grown by a further 25% to 29,400m2, according to the latest Bayleys Research survey in 2017. An additional 15,700m2 is also in the pipeline and due for completion over the next 12 months. The top 3 operators – Generator, BizDojo and B:Hive – control 71% of the total space and continue to grow their offerings.
The two biggest players in coworking globally (WeWork and IWG who own Regus and Spaces) are looking at New Zealand options. Spaces, are due to open new offices on Karangahape Road soon. Meanwhile WeWork are rumoured to be scouting locations with a potential 2019 opening.
The latest Bayleys Research survey showed that annually there has been a general consolidation in total member numbers to around 2,900 from years of back-to-back growth. Occupancy levels currently stand at around 74% of total member capacity of 3,500 indicating more space will be required to allow for the expected member number growth that will continue to grow over the remainder of 2018.
Monthly dedicated/flexi desk rates have recorded little change over the survey period and range from $499 to $1,499 for the larger operators and $400 to $900 for the smaller operators. Casual and flexi rates typically range between $150 to $499 per month.
