Future Flex - A hybrid & productive workspace approach

Strategic agreements for operators

Traditional leases are giving way to models such as:
•Revenue-share model 
•Management contracts
•Hybrid model (fixed minimum rent plus revenue share)
Apart from these, some operators are seen to explore the franchise model, 
although that can pose some risk of brand 

Choice-based model for occupiers
Occupiers are evaluating the concept of ‘work from near-home’ through 
satellite and hub-and-spoke offices. We foresee that these offices will be an 
amalgamation of traditional leases and flex spaces. 
With gig economy gaining traction, we also predict the need for on-demand 
spaces, as occupiers would require space by the hour/week/month for certain 
teams. Such space requirements can successfully be driven by flex spaces. 

Customized deals for Occupiers
Occupiers are opting for tailor-made mandates with operators for future 
expansion and leasing. Flex operators will take up spaces and customize 
them as per the occupiers’ needs. However, at the same time, operators are 
likely to also incorporate and offer some proportion of ready buildings for 
immediate absorption by start-ups and entrepreneurs.
