Flexible work space is on the cusp of becoming mainstream in the UK , according to 95 % of commercial landlords in a CBRE survey , with 79 % hoping to enter the market in the coming year . A similar version of this ‘operator model’ can be applied to co-working, just as property firms manage hotels through joint ventures with operator brands such as IHG and Hilton – providing prime space, outsourcing operations and management and splitting the income. The research also revealed 38 % are contemplating creating their own flexible co - working brand , with 30 % favour leasing the space to a sole co - workspace operator . A third option maybe an operator model , where landlords provide the space and co - workspace operators provide the brand and expertise , sharing the ups and downs of fluctuations in rental income .
