Urban Spaces

What Urban Spaces does

Urban Spaces is a family-owned flexible workspace and event venue operator headquartered in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, Germany. Founded in 2019 by Dagmar and Ralf Schuck as a sole proprietorship (Einzelfirma), the company operates a single 2,000+ square meter, four-floor facility in the WERK-QUARTIER business park, having expanded from its original 800+ sqm footprint through phases in 2023 and 2024. The space includes coworking workstations, reserved private offices (including Boutique Offices), four color-coded meeting rooms, large conference venues (Worklab I, Worklab III, Brainpool), the Factory 41 event venue for up to 200 persons, an atrium, a rooftop terrace, and 5-9 sqm storage units. The interior was designed by Studio Komo under an award-winning "Biotop" concept, which earned the Frame Awards 2020 Co-Working Space of the Year (both Jury Prize and People's Choice).

The underlying technology stack includes high-speed symmetric LAN fiber internet, pre-installed video conferencing software (Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams, Skype Business, Clickmeeting, Edudip), 65-inch multi-touch LED displays, wireless presentation systems, a 360-degree virtual tour (Raumsicht360), and a proprietary modular cube system called Worklab Arena developed with Studio Komo. Members can book hourly meeting rooms or coworking passes through the website; offices, storage rooms, and the E-Smart mobility service run on monthly subscriptions; and event spaces are priced on a custom quotation basis.

Urban Spaces generates revenue across multiple streams: subscription recurring (coworking desks, private offices, storage rooms, E-Smart membership), usage-based (meeting rooms at €30-€225/hour), one-time event rentals, and add-on professional services (catering, parking, secretarial support). The go-to-market combines a self-serve website booking tool, direct sales for office leases and large events, monthly Open House days, and community-driven acquisition through member referrals and recurring events (After Work, Time for Wine, Werk-Quartier Fest). The customer base is horizontally segmented across freelancers, project teams, event clients, hybrid workers, and private event hosts primarily in the Stuttgart region.

• Spaces (by IWG): Premium brand of IWG's global workspace portfolio offering coworking, offices, and meeting rooms. Direct overlap with Urban Spaces' meeting and conference offerings, but operating as part of a much larger network with enterprise sales force.
• Regus (by IWG): IWG's flagship serviced-office brand with extensive German presence. Comparable in providing flexible offices, meeting rooms, and coworking, but standardized at scale rather than design-curated.

Others

• Coworker.com: Global coworking marketplace and directory that lists and books spaces like Urban Spaces. Adjacent comparison as a distribution/discovery channel rather than a direct operator competitor.
