Real flexibility to adapt to the business
One of the great advantages of mixed buildings is that they allow space to be adjusted to the changing needs of the company.
For example:
Companies in a growth phase can complement their main office with flexible workstations. Project or temporary teams can be accommodated in coworking spaces without the need to extend the traditional contract. Reduction of space during periods of adjustment without structural penalties.
This model eliminates the historical rigidity of long-term contracts and enables more dynamic management of the property portfolio.
Cost optimisation in the short and long term
Combining traditional rental with flexible solutions allows investment and operational expenditure to be balanced:
The base space (traditional) typically offers better economic conditions in the long term. Flexible spaces avoid investments in fit-out or furniture for specific needs. Costs associated with underutilisation of offices are reduced.
Rather than oversizing the main office "just in case", companies can rely on flex spaces to absorb peaks in activity.
Attracting and retaining talent
The working environment is today a key factor in the employee value proposition. Buildings that integrate different space formats typically offer:
Dynamic and modern communal areas Shared services (meeting rooms, events, cafeterias) More collaborative and less rigid environments
This directly impacts employee experience, favouring the attraction and retention of talent in an increasingly competitive market.
Greater operational agility
The combination of both formats enables companies to react more quickly to changes:
Opening of new teams without the need to search for new offices Immediate scaling in strategic locations Ability to trial new cities or areas without long-term commitments
This transforms hybrid buildings into a strategic tool, not merely a property one.
Prime locations with complete solutions
Many of the buildings adopting this model are situated in strategic areas, where access to traditional spaces may be more limited or costly.
The incorporation of flexible spaces within the same asset allows companies to take advantage of:
Premium locations High-level services Established business ecosystems

A solution aligned with the future of work
Hybrid working is here to stay, and with it, the need for more liquid and adaptable property models. Buildings that integrate different forms of occupancy allow companies to evolve without friction, avoiding disruptive changes or long-term decisions that are difficult to reverse.
