San Francisco-based Spacious recently raised $9m to expand its pop-up co-workspace operation, planning 100 location in San Francisco and New York. Spacious targets former restaurant space, claiming to compete with Starbuck more than WeWork; it aims to provide a stop-gap for landlords whilst they seek long-term tenants. Shopping centre operator Westfield has also been experimenting with the co-working concept, expanding on its Bespoke offerings, which launched in San Francisco in 2015. In New York, there are plans to demolish White Plains Mall replacing it with apartments, a food hall, open public space and 11:50 ft of co-working space.
