Serendipity Labs Coworking has grown to more than 40 locations by licensing its upscale, flexible workplace brand and entering into management agreements with class A asset owners across the country.

For asset owners, flexible workspace has become an essential offering that allows them to provide a full set of office and meetings solutions for tenants who increasingly demand flexibility, speed to market, and inspiring designs.
Particularly in suburban and secondary markets, top coworking providers with corporate accounts and strategic sales channels can often aggregate higher quality credit occupiers than traditional landlords.
“By partnering with asset owners of office, retail and residential buildings and then managing the Labs, we bring our operational expertise and marketing power, and we assure the upscale service standards of one of the top national flexible workplace networks will be met at every location.”
John Arenas, chairman and CEO of Serendipity Labs
