What Pacific Workplaces does

Pacific Workplaces, founded in 2003 by Laurent Dhollande and Scott Chambers and operated by PBC Management LLC, is a privately held flexible office operator headquartered in San Francisco. The company runs 16+ coworking and executive office locations across Northern California and Nevada — including San Francisco, San Jose, Cupertino, Oakland, Walnut Creek, Berkeley, Sacramento, Roseville, Las Vegas, and Reno — and has operated the Workplace-as-a-Service model under that trademarked term since 2003. Its customer base spans solo entrepreneurs, SMBs, hybrid workers, legal and financial professionals, and enterprise teams that need a credible business presence or flexible workspace without long-term lease commitments. The company acquired the NextSpace brand and several locations in 2017, growing the portfolio to as many as 19 sites at peak, and has since added new-build sites in Las Vegas (2022), Sacramento Downtown (2022), Sacramento Watt (2019), Roseville (2020), Cupertino (2024), and San Jose (2025), with a 29,524 sq ft flagship in San Francisco's Financial District at 315 Montgomery Street scheduled to open May 2026 in partnership with Vornado Realty Trust.

The product surface consists of private offices (1–20 person suites with 24/7 access), virtual offices (professional address, digital mail, phone answering), flex desks and day passes, tech-enabled meeting rooms with Zoom Rooms / Kaptivo / LanguageBox, team suites for 5–50+ people, Mobile Passes, and the network-wide All Access Pass ($135/month promotional, $269/month list) that gives members access to any available private office in the portfolio. Underlying technology is a Workplace-as-a-Service platform combining a proprietary member portal, online booking, digital mail app, and Calendly-driven tour scheduling, integrated with Yardi for payment processing and Kaptivo/LanguageBox for meeting room tooling. Members can also access the CloudTouchdown global network of nearly 1,000 locations via a preferred arrangement dating from the CloudVO era.

The revenue model is a blend of recurring monthly subscriptions (private offices, virtual offices, All Access Pass, team suites) and usage-based fees (flex desks, day passes, hourly/daily meeting room rentals). GTM is hybrid: enterprise and team sales are led by four regional Managing Partners (SF/Peninsula, Silicon Valley, Sacramento/Reno, East Bay/Las Vegas) with a newly hired Chief Growth Officer focused on acquisitions and landlord alliances; SMB and individual demand is captured through self-serve online purchase, SEO-driven location pages, Calendly tour booking, and a multi-channel content and social media engine. Pricing is largely quote-based for enterprise with transparent promotional pricing online, and over 60% of members are on month-to-month or shorter commitments.
