Facilities managers and landlords are picking up on the trend for using out-of-hours office space for other purposes, according to property leasing and management start-up VTS. The New York-based firm suggests movie nights, intimate concert venues, happy hours and a place for night-time workers as uses for offices during company downtime. And, as property sharing becomes easier via software and integrated management apps, there is plenty of potential for growth for always open office spaces. Sofar has found that after-hour offices can be an ideal setting for a laid-back performance of an upcoming artist. “People want more flexibility in their work schedules,” says CEO David DeAngelis. Now it operates in more than 300 cities.
