Why Private Offices Are Back — and Why Workspace Is Ready

The way people work has evolved, and so have their expectations. After years of open coworking and remote setups, professionals are rediscovering the value of private offices — spaces that offer privacy, focus, and professionalism without the burden of long leases.

According to OfficeRnD’s 2025 FlexIndex, global private-office occupancy climbed to 71.3%, its highest level in nearly two years. The takeaway is clear: hybrid workers and small teams want flexible environments that still provide structure and identity.

The Shift Toward Privacy and Flexibility

Coworking once thrived on openness, but hybrid work exposed its limits. Professionals need places where they can concentrate, meet clients, and feel a sense of ownership. Key forces behind the private-office resurgence include:

  • Hybrid fatigue – People want separation between work and home.
  • Corporate “core + flex” models – Companies now rely on regional offices for agility.
  • Economic caution – Teams favor flexible terms over long leases.
  • Professionalism – Private offices elevate credibility and focus.

In short, private offices have become the sweet spot between remote work and traditional real estate.

How Workspace Meets This Demand

With nearly 200 private offices across five Massachusetts locations, Workspace is perfectly positioned for this new era of work.

  • Scalable options – From one-person suites to team studios, we provide right-sized spaces for entrepreneurs, hybrid employees, and small teams.
  • Flexibility built in – Our offices are fully furnished, move-in ready, and available on short or long terms. Members can easily scale up or down.
  • Privacy + community – Workspace combines private space with shared amenities, networking, and meeting rooms — the best of both worlds.
  • Hospitality mindset – We operate more like a boutique hotel than a landlord, ensuring members feel welcome, supported, and productive.
  • Prime suburban locations – Hingham, Canton, Beverly, Braintree, and Cohasset each offer easy access, free parking, and a strong sense of local community.
