SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Securing
creative office space just got a lot easier for growing companies
and enterprises alike. LiquidSpace, the leading network for
flexible workspace solutions, announced today the national launch
of its altSpace program, a flexible office solution for growing
teams of 10-200 employees. altSpace combines curated office
fit-outs with LiquidSpace-approved landlord and partner spaces,
enabling companies to move into a new office tailored for their
team within 60 days and stay as long as they like on flexible
terms. The altSpace program is now available in major markets
across the US, including the San
Francisco Bay Area, New York
City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Washington
D.C., and beyond.
"The national rollout of altSpace is an important milestone for
LiquidSpace and we are proud to be working with leaders in the
architecture and design community. We reimagined what office spaces
can be for growing teams because we weren't satisfied with the
status quo," said Mark Gilbreath,
founder and CEO of LiquidSpace. "We recognized that growing
companies often don't have the time or the capital to commit to
expensive fit-outs or long term leases, but still want a cool place
to work with the flexibility to move on when they grow. We also
realized that landlords and building owners are often in the same
boat – with the need to fill empty offices, but without the expense
and risk of speculative fit-outs. After proving out the model with
both startup and large enterprise customers and with multiple
landlord partners, we are excited today to expand the altSpace
program into major markets across the country."
altSpace reimagines how creative offices are designed, delivered
and occupied. Whether you are a startup or simply need to move as
fast as one, tapping into altSpace is simple. Select a location and
a design, book it online and move in within days, no lease, no
hassle. "Our corporate clients are increasingly looking for
flexibility in their real estate portfolios. The cost efficiencies,
term flexibility, rapid time to market and great design that
altSpace offers are an exciting and unique option for us to
present," said Dan Harvey, Vice
Chairman, CBRE. "LiquidSpace continues to modernize the commercial
real estate industry with its technology-driven model."
Companies can choose from three altSpace designs, crafted by
altSpace design partner BVN Architecture, supporting varied work
styles and offering a range of wellness features. Corporate
tailored altSpace solutions are also available, for companies with
bespoke requirements in multiple locations. Each altSpace
kit-of-parts is modular, utilitarian and adaptable, featuring
contemporary furnishings from altSpace furniture partner Allsteel,
and altSpace exclusive custom elements. "altSpace has created a new
way to provide companies with high performance workplace
environments. It lets us support the flexible office needs of our
existing large customers and provides us a new channel to introduce
Allsteel to fast growing startups," said Brandon Sieben, President, Allsteel.
For building owners and landlords, altSpace is a hassle-free way
to turn empty property into a high performing asset. With
configurations available for spaces ranging from 1,000-20,000
square feet, altSpace turns any unoccupied space into a move-in
ready workplace with the potential to attract new tenants. As
Mark Rose, Chairman/CEO of
Avison Young explains, "altSpace is
a terrific and creative new solution for the CRE industry. Not only
does it address the growing demand for flexibility that we see from
our occupier clients, it gives our landlord partners the means to
generate more revenue from their assets."
Building owners and landlord partners in the LiquidSpace network
can become certified altSpace landlords, providing a new option for
how to market and utilize their available spaces. Landlords can
offer prospective tenants options for curated modern workplace
designs with space visualizations to help merchandise their online
listings. The altSpace program's SpecZeroTM TI
standard is designed to minimize construction costs, permitting and
build time, helping landlords eliminate the waste of traditional
costly fit outs. "Our focus is to leverage innovative technology
solutions that increase our visibility and convert our vacancies
more effectively", said Chad Cook,
Founder of Quadrant Investment Properties. "Working with
LiquidSpace and the altSpace program, we landed a world-class
technology company as a tenant, faster and with less overhead than
a traditional leasing model."
The altSpace program was developed by LiquidSpace in partnership
with passionate architects, furniture designers and real estate
professionals including BVN Architecture, Allsteel, The Swig
Company, Tidal Living, FME Architects, and Izzy+.
