What Industrious does
Industrious is a premium flexible workspace provider founded in 2013 by Jamie Hodari and headquartered in New York City, operating 250-plus workspaces across more than 80 cities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Australia. The company serves enterprise clients (Pfizer, Salesforce, Cisco, Verizon, Spotify, Lyft, Hyatt, Pandora, Delta), mid-market distributed teams, individual hybrid workers, and small businesses through a unified portfolio that includes Coworking Memberships, Private Offices (1-20 people), Suites (15+ people), Virtual Memberships, Meetings On-Demand, and Day Passes, plus sub-brands such as Indy by Industrious, WorkLife, Club 135, and the Tower 49 flagship.
Its technology stack centers on a member portal (portal.industriousoffice.com) with dedicated iOS and Android applications, a Mapbox-powered location and booking experience, a multi-tier membership engine that supports enterprise contracts, virtual offices, on-demand meeting rooms, day passes, and global access, and emerging use of AI-powered personalization and IoT-enabled workspace features. The underlying platform is an asset-light operating model that refurbishes Class B office space under management agreements and profit-share arrangements with landlords (Blackstone, Brookfield, Hines, Rudin, Douglas Emmett, Kato International, AH Realty) rather than long-term master leases, enabling rapid deployment and capital efficiency.
Industrious monetizes through a hybrid of subscription recurring revenue (Coworking, Office, Suite, Virtual Memberships), usage-based revenue (Day Passes, Meeting Room rentals), and managed services revenue from landlord management agreements, profit-share arrangements, and enterprise workplace solutions. Distribution combines enterprise field sales, an inside-sales motion with workspace consultants, a self-serve day pass funnel, a formal broker referral program with published commission structures across US/Canada and UK/EU, and an embedded landlord partnership channel. Following CBRE Group's full acquisition in January 2025 for approximately $400 million at an $800 million implied enterprise valuation, Industrious is integrated into CBRE's new Building Operations & Experience segment and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary with a brand-unified APAC footprint as of July 2026.
