Co-Working Space Expansion Stalled in Boston - Is It for Good?

In the second half of 2019, very few new co-working spaces opened in Boston and the surrounding areas. This halt in the expansion of new co-working spaces was in lockstep with WeWork’s botched public offering after it lost $1.25 billion in three months. Despite many of the well-known co-working companies (think WeWork, Industrious, Workbar) saying Boston is a key market for their business, there are still only one or two plans to open new spaces in the coming months, according to a recent Boston Globe article. What do you think will happen with co-working spaces in the future?
