The idea of ShareSpace Community came from our desire to create a space where professionals across the commercial real estate market can connect, network, and gain exclusive insight into market data gathered by ShareSpace.
ShareSpace is the first and only end-to-end marketplace connecting businesses with traditional and flexible workspace providers. We believe in creating data-driven technological tools that revolutionize, digitalize, and effectively streamline the office leasing process, allowing Office Operators and Landlords to sell offices even more effectively.
On Thursday, April 28th Relationship Directors, Leasing Directors, Marketing Managers, and more gathered at ShareSpace’s new office location to kick off the official opening of the ShareSpace Community event.
Besides enjoying a great brunch, and a chance to connect over industry news, the event featured an insightful presentation by members of ShareSpace Relationship Management, including Olga and Tom, the recently joined the department. The presentation covered both traditional and flexible office market takeaways based on data gathered by ShareSpace for the year 2021 and Q1 of 2022.
“The brunch organized by ShareSpace Community should be an inseparable item in the calendar of every Leasing Manager. Such a business meeting combined with a breakfast gave us a chance to get to know the people we mainly communicate with by phone or e-mail. What’s more, ShareSpace presented how the situation on the real estate market has changed over the last year and the first quarter of 2022, showing that more and more companies are choosing flexible solutions. The short-term rental market seems to be a safe haven for entrepreneurs.“
– Magdalena Jurczak, Office Space Leasing Specialist at OmniOffice.
The key takeaways from the presentation included:
1. Ranking cities in Poland based on the density of transactions in 2021.
The leading locations included Warsaw, Krakow, and, what’s worth noting, Wrocław. Wrocław has seen a substantial increase in the number of transactions via ShareSpace in 2021. Łódź, which claimed the fourth place, has also shown much activity in office development in recent times.
2. Speed of lease transactions.
The fastest flexible office space transaction took place in Warsaw in as short as 2 working days. The fastest transaction of a traditional commercial space took only 2 months, a noteworthy result.
Both transactions were carried out entirely via ShareSpace and owed their streamlined duration to ShareSpace tools such as the online signature feature and the ShareSpace dashboard.
3. Flex Transaction “Hall of Fame” – ranking the most viewed office venues in Warsaw.
The ranking listed Solution.rent Ethos, Mindspace Koszyki, WeWork Hotel Europejski, Business Link Astoria, and CIC Warsaw are among its top positions. The key contributing factor to these results was the excellent quality of listing photos, which allows clients to make the best-informed choices while browsing the database of offices available on the market via the ShareSpace search engine.
4. The value of marketing.
The Head of the Marketing department at ShareSpace, spoke about the value of marketing in commercial real estate provided by ShareSpace, highlighting some fundamental aspects such as SEO, brand awareness, and lead generation.
5. New ShareSpace features.
The event was a great chance to introduce some of the newest feature updates released on the ShareSpace dashboard, which can optimize and elevate the way clients search for, view, and rent listed offices.
One of the updates included the option for office operators to label their spaces using “vibes,” such as “start-up,” “corporate,” “luxury,” etc.
