WeWork, the global flexible space provider, has launched Coworking Partner Network, an affiliate program of third-party workspaces that delivers increased flexibility and choice to its members.
Driving the launch of the network is a new partnership with Vast Coworking Group, the world’s largest privately owned franchisor of coworking spaces. Vast’s national portfolio of locations will now be available on the Network, which is powered by Yardi Kube. The company’s presence in fast-growing suburban markets complements WeWork’s footprint in major metropolitan areas, strengthening its ability to meet growing demand for flexible workspaces from hybrid and distributed teams.
“Joining forces with the Vast Coworking Group expands our Coworking Partner Network and unlocks new value for our WeWork Workplace users,” said John Santora, WeWork CEO. “This network furthers our commitment to giving WeWork members even more flexibility in where they work, especially to dispersed and hybrid teams. With demand for flexible office solutions increasing, Vast’s convenient locations further enable us to meet our members where they need us most, with high-quality workspaces that enhance productivity and collaboration.”
In addition to WeWork’s global portfolio of over 500 locations, users of WeWork Workplace, the company’s space management software, will also have access to over 75 Coworking Partner locations in more than 50 new markets across the United States and Canada. These third-party Vast locations are Venture X, Office Evolution and Intelligent Office.
“We are thrilled to partner with WeWork to bring our network of locally owned and operated coworking spaces to an even broader audience,” said Jason Anderson, president of Vast Coworking Group. “With most of our spaces located in high-demand suburban markets, this collaboration allows us to provide their members with the variety and convenience they need to thrive in today’s dynamic work environment. Together with WeWork, we are furthering our shared mission to make coworking spaces more accessible to professionals everywhere.”
