Beyond coworking: the new paradigm of office space in Mexico
For more than three decades, office corridors or zones in Mexico grew steadily, driven by the traditional model of face-to-face work. However, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a transformation that had been in the making since the late 1990s, when technology began to liberate work from physical space.
Five years later, the impact is still evident: the majority of employees work under hybrid schemes and traditional spaces face record vacancy rates. But what we are witnessing is not the end of the office, but a profound evolution in how companies conceive and use their workspaces.
From square meter to strategic value
Today, companies no longer think in terms of square footage. They think in terms of profitability, culture, well-being, flexibility and operational efficiency. In fact, nearly 90% of companies say that their offices remain key to the success of their organization. The difference is what kind of office they want.
While traditional buildings struggle to adapt, flexible workspaces are rapidly gaining ground. At WOR, we've seen it for ourselves: 6 out of 10 companies planning to grow in the next few years prefer flexible offices over traditional leases. The reason? Today's work environment is unpredictable, and committing to the long term no longer makes good business sense.
WOR: flexible design, solid results
At WOR, we have been anticipating this transition for years. We not only operate ready-to-use spaces, but we also solve our clients' real estate challenges in a comprehensive manner, from the search for the ideal space to its daily operation.
Our portfolio is designed to adapt to change: private offices, collaborative spaces, turnkey solutions and hybrid models that adjust to the growth or contraction of each company. Today, large corporations turn to WOR not only to occupy meters, but also to:
Access immediate flexible space in our buildings.
Outsource your entire real estate strategy: from design and construction to the operation of customized offices in any city in the country.
This ability to scale, adapt and execute with agility is what differentiates WOR from any traditional operator.
Adapt or be left behind
The future of office space is not uniform. Some obsolete buildings will need to be converted or demolished; others, such as Class A buildings in vibrant locations, will continue to grow. But the biggest change is in the mindset of companies: they want real estate solutions that are as agile as their business.
Today, more than ever, offices must be strategic. And that is where WOR makes the difference.
Our vision
At WOR, we believe that every workspace should be a tool for success. That's why we offer more than just offices: we design experiences, solve problems and enhance corporate cultures. We know that hybrid work is here to stay, and we are ready to accompany companies in this new cycle, building together the next generation of offices in Mexico and the world.
