Many people thought Coworking would go out as quickly as it came in once Covid-19 was behind us and employees returned to the office. However, the year 2020 bred the work from home and hybrid employment models. In 2025 the Coworking model is showing no sign of slowing down. In fact, demand has increased and consequently expectations of coworking spaces has broadened. Shared offices are expected to incorporate community building, sustainability, technology and even wellness. Let’s discuss some of the popular coworking amenities in 2025.
Lifestyle/Wellness
Many coworking locations offer yoga and fitness rooms to promote physical and mental well-being. On-site amenities like these provide convenient before-work, lunchtime, or post-work opportunities for busy people to stay healthy.
Flexible Workspaces
Options like sit/stand desks, private offices, collaboration areas, meeting rooms, lounge spaces, etc. provide the flexibility workers are looking for.
Meeting Rooms
Space for Coworking members to conduct meetings and presentations with HDMI enabled screens and white boards are a must in any shared work environment.
Focus Areas
Focus pods, private phone booths for phone or video calls, and quiet rooms to retreat and recharge are sought after amenities.
Technology
Smart door locks, high speed WiFi, and the ability to book meeting rooms and pay monthly rental fees online are technological perks that workers expect.
Sustainability
Green buildings that incorporate solar power, LED Lighting, EV charging, and recycling options. According to a study conducted by business services provider IBM, 68 per cent of employees are more likely to accept jobs from companies that are sustainable.
Community Building
Coworking social and networking events that bring members together, as well as partnerships with local area businesses can create a sense of teamwork and community.
Biophilic Design
Windows that allow natural light in and provide the means for observing greenery and nature provide a calming work environment. Plants as well as green walls contribute to the overall sense of well-being.
Security
Secured entry access, locking cubbies or desks and security cameras are reassuring for swing space users. Accordingly, members want to know that they and their belongings are secure.
Coworking Kitchens
Shared kitchens with a refrigerator, microwave, seating, and complimentary coffee and other non-alcoholic beverages are the minimum. Some coworking spaces even incorporate a café or kitchen where members can purchase a snack or complete lunch option. Think Starbucks in reverse. Starbucks is a café that also provides WiFi so digital nomads can enjoy their coffee and be productive. Some Coworking offices take this concept and flip it, so the focus is on a more private work environment with the café option as a secondary feature.
As you can see, there are many popular Coworking amenities designed to attract swing space users and ensure a productive work environment.
