For

For

Office 4.0 is an entirely different
business than owning and managing

The physical office space is seen as part
of the entire value proposition including
a flexible workspace, community,
resources and design elements
delivering a whole ecosystem for
business, and for life

BUT
Office

• TradiLonal

now
awakened
to

themselves
17. Thinking
beyond
Office
4.0
will
also
see
a
new
class
of
landlord
emerging
• Awareness
and
interest
in
coworking
business
will
also
avract
a
new
class
of
landlord
with
a
completely
different
playbook
• Strata
sold
owners:
Smaller
individual
landlords
owning
smaller
places
may
be
more
inclined
to
agree
to
revenue
shares
and
upfront
capex
• Angel
Investors:
HNIs
may
view
this
as
an
asset
backed
investment
with
rentals
supported
by
a
consLtuency
they
understand
and
believe
in
• Tech
companies:
Tech
companies
that
scale
up
too
quickly
may
be
le
saddled
with
surplus
space
–
with
landlord
consent,
a
sub-‐
lease
to
coworking
operator
will
provide
vital
cashflow
• Large
corporates:
Opening
up
to
the
idea
of
moneLsing
their
surplus
space
or
outsource
enLre
operaLons

Proper
market
diligence
and
relaLonship
building
is
needed
to
orchestrate

opportuniLes
and
tailor

beneficial
structure
19. Case
study
Analysing
trade-‐offs
of
different
lease
structures
• ObjecDve:
Develop
a
simple
working
model
to
evaluate
financial
impact
of
different
lease
structures
to
landlord
and
operator
• Scenarios:
Analyse
financial
impact
in
base
case
and
downside
scenario
with
a
5
year
horizon
• Inputs
required:
1. Size
of
coworking
space
2. Market
rent
landlord
can
achieve
3. Through-‐cycle
vacancy
rates
in
area
4. Membership
capacity
as
coworking
space
5. Average

fee
per
member
6. AnLcipated
through-‐cycle
occupancy
in
base
case

7. Annual

cost

centre
• Analysis:
Flex

share
terms
to
idenLfy
“opLmal”
arrangement
for
landlord
and
operator
18
24. Case
study
Summary
points
and
takeaways
• In
markets/
buildings
with
high
vacancy
rates,
economics
of
revenue
share
should
appeal
to
the
landlord
• Revenue
share
deal
requires
buy-‐in
to
the
business
model/
easier
with
track
record
• Without
revenue
share,
business
model
cannot
withstand
downturn
=>
in
the
landlord’s
interest
to
avoid
contract
not
being
honoured
and
resulLng
void
period
• Revenue
share
introduces
variability
but
could
provide
much
higher
return
to
landlord
• Hybrid
leases
structures
contain
the
variability,
while
sLll
providing
vital
operaLng
flexibility
to
operators
• Revenue
share/
hybrid
lease
structures
are
more
aligned
with
cahsflows
generated
from
end-‐occupiers
=>
win-‐win
for
landlords
and
operators
