There is no shortage of research to highlight the growth of flexible space on the office market. JLL, for example, recently noted in its publication The Investor that flex space could increase by more than 25% in 2018 after rising 29% in 2017. Furthermore it is not just tenants and landlords that are taking note of the flexible space story: As it becomes more mainstream, lenders and investors are starting to see the benefits of moderate exposure to flex space as part of a well-diversified tenant roster, according to Alex Colpaert, Head of Offices Research at JLL EMEA. In short, as JLL wrote, buildings with a high percentage of flexible space are increasingly seen as viable investment propositions.
