Toronto (13 January)—
Freelancers and entrepreneurs used to have one of two options for office space:
they could either work from home or lease a small, nondescript office.
Nowadays, coworking spaces are a welcome alternative,
and the industry has ramped up to meet demand.
In this crowded market,
Toronto-based Place & Space has emerged as a power player.
Founded five years ago by Theo Curry,
Place & Space offers spaces with communal printers and Internet access.
“We added a sense of community to the shared business-space concept,” said Mr. Curry.
The sites feature open areas where workers can gather to exchange ideas or just relax over coffee.
Some sites even host networking events and fitness classes.
With a minimal advertising budget,
Place & Space has grown from one site in Toronto to a global business.
“We’ve done some advertising on social media,
but our client base has mostly been built by word of mouth,” said Mr. Curry.
Over the next few months,
Place & Space will be adding seven locations,
among them Amsterdam, Dublin, and Sydney.
“Every business culture is different, so we believe it is crucial to have an all-local staff at our sites,” said Mr. Curry.
“And we need to hurry—our Dublin location opens on the fifteenth of March.”
