Waste or Opportunity? It Depends on You
You might not think about it every day, but in Italy nearly 9% of office spaces remain vacant. These are square meters that could create value for businesses like yours, but instead they represent only costs and waste.
Meanwhile, the demand for modern and flexible spaces is growing: in Milan, prime offices exceed €740/sqm/year.
Every vacant square meter is an investment that doesn’t pay off, an asset losing value. An empty building in a neighborhood is not just a real estate issue: it means less vitality, less safety, more decline.
- For HR, it means isolated and less motivated workers.
- For managers, difficulty in building corporate culture.
- For property owners, assets that lose value month after month.
The paradox? Many empty buildings still consume energy for heating and cooling, creating both economic and environmental damage.
The Key: Coworking
Coworking is the key to turning things around: transforming unused spaces into vibrant, attractive, and profitable environments.
Hybrid work and smart working have changed everything. Employees no longer want just an office — they want a place that fosters connections, well-being, and motivation.
Coworking works because it:
- brings energy and sparks creativity
- reduces isolation
- meets the new demand for flexibility
From Empty Space to Productivity
Rethinking office use doesn’t just mean cutting costs — it means turning space into productive assets.
Many companies are already converting empty areas into:
- internal coworking hubs
- distributed pay-per-use offices
- rotating workstations for remote or traveling staff
With this approach:
- leased square meters and fixed costs are reduced
- professional, well-equipped spaces remain available
- organizational flexibility increases
- even unproductive surfaces start creating value
