What Spaces does

Spaces is a creative-focused coworking and flexible workspace brand operating as part of IWG plc (International Workplace Group), the world's largest hybrid workspace company. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Spaces offers fully serviced private offices (for individuals, small teams, large teams, and full-floor), coworking solutions (dedicated desks, day passes, hourly access, and all-access memberships), meeting and event spaces (meeting rooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, collaboration rooms, interview rooms, event spaces), and virtual office services (business address, call answering, and company registration). Enterprise offerings include entire-building takeovers, workplace portals, workplace recovery, and workplace technology services. The platform is delivered through digital booking systems and a dedicated mobile app, with verified operational presence in markets including Italy (157 locations), Israel (34), Ireland (31), and Ivory Coast (4), and access to more than 4,000 IWG locations across 120+ countries.

Spaces generates revenue through five primary streams: recurring coworking memberships, serviced office rentals, usage-based meeting room bookings, subscription virtual office services, and usage-based day passes and hourly bookings. Pricing varies materially by geography, with documented rates ranging from €2–€17 per person per day in Europe, ₪9–₪449 per day in Israel, and XOF 1,364–72,900 per day in Ivory Coast. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer online booking for SMBs and individuals, enterprise field sales for large multinational clients, and channel partnerships via IWG's global property-owner network under an asset-light revenue-sharing model. The company targets freelancers, startups, SMEs, national and international businesses, global enterprises, and vertical-specific segments including professional services, financial services, healthcare, and technology, with named enterprise customers including Microsoft, Google, PayPal, HSBC, Spotify, Uber, and Samsung.

Spaces is wholly owned by IWG plc, a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange. IWG reported record system-wide revenue of $4.2 billion and record EBITDA of $557 million in 2024. On 2025-12-22, WeWork acquired Spaces, marking a significant consolidation event in the flexible workspace sector. Spaces itself does not disclose standalone revenue or employee-specific unit economics; the firm lists 101–250 employees in the available data.
