Market of Coworking Space in Argentine

Nobody imagined that office sharing would become so attractive, but in Argentina even the mate is collective, so why not share the desk as well? The rise of coworking spaces has revolutionized the routine of entrepreneurs, freelancers and companies. From the imposing towers of Buenos Aires to the urban corners of Cordoba or Mendoza, today it is more important to be close to a decent coffee and have stable internet than to boast your own office.

Why are coworking spaces growing in Argentina?

More and more professionals are looking for that delicate balance between personal and work life without giving up the professional environment. Nobody wants to commit for years in rents when the only constant is inflation. That is why these shared offices offer much more than individual desks: they offer total flexibility, eliminate eternal commitments and allow to adapt -grow or shrink- as the market or the collective mood dictates.

Growing cities such as Rosario and Bariloche have adopted the flexible work model, consolidating local trends towards collaborative environments. Ideal for both technology start-ups and remote workers who just want silence and good Wi-Fi, even when the latter is scarce even in some Patagonian glaciers.

Flexibility at the Argentine pace

In this scenario, no company wants to be tied to fixed and expensive square meters. Today an SME can choose meeting rooms to negotiate, individual desks to focus on a rainy Monday or move to private offices if its staff explodes after a successful pitch. All of this fits into variable budgets, because although everyone dreams of growing, it never hurts to be able to downsize quickly if the context demands it.

The key word is "flexible work": everyone chooses what they need and pays only for it. Gone are the unfriendly real estate agents and outdated routers; here everything comes ready to use, from the entrance key to the coffee included.

The temptation of all-inclusive and convenient locations.

Few pleasures beat arriving on Monday and finding that the mail has been delivered, the office cleaned and the fridge stocked with healthy snacks (at least in appearance). Inclusive services are part of Argentina's new post-pandemic identity. Here, no one has to worry about maintenance, expense sharing or the desperate search for toilet paper.

In addition, convenient locations abound: downtown Buenos Aires, Nueva Córdoba, San Telmo, Palermo or Godoy Cruz in Mendoza. Ending the day knowing that you are half a block away from your favorite bar is now as important as any salary increase.

Services with a local flavor: beyond the individual desk

Anyone who thinks coworking spaces are just rows of desks has less vision than a GPS without a map. These places offer vibrant environments and social activities where the entrepreneurial community flourishes. Spontaneous networking, surprise events and generous breakfasts are commonplace, as are those family Sundays where nothing goes to plan but everyone ends up satisfied.

Unusual combinations abound: yoga classes between meetings, express tax advisories together with Mendoza wine tastings or afterworks on terraces that would make any New York rooftop tremble.

The corpoworking appeared without asking for permission.

Large companies no longer look askance at these modern solutions. Many are already betting on corpoworking: entire departments moved to shared offices. They are discovering new ways to motivate teams, reduce costs and avoid the dreaded "corporate silo" where ideas die under tons of useless emails.

Entire organizations can now alternate between different private offices, combine telecommuting and face-to-face work, and even invite business partners or clients to join in community activities. A resounding antidote to the boredom and loneliness of the perpetual home office.

Turnkey offices: zero logistical worries

Who wants to waste time dealing with technicians to get a printer working? In the new coworking spaces, you just arrive, plug in your laptop and start your day. The facilities feature modern furnishings, functional technology and plants that survive thanks to automatic watering. It is the dream of anyone who hates unpredictable expense accounts.

There are really practical options: from hourly rentals for those who need just an occasional shelter, to monthly plans designed for changing needs. Ideal for those who consider that being organized is essential to survive in the Argentine market.

Prices, plans and other recurring dilemmas

Prices and plans vary as much as the weather in Mar del Plata, but there are alternatives for almost every budget and preference. You can opt for daily passes if inspiration is elusive, weekly packages for moderate workaholics or monthly memberships for those who have made coworking their zen philosophy.

Among its advantages, many spaces differentiate rates according to the meters required or additional services: projector, premium cafeteria, 24/7 access. No one is left out, neither the nomad freelancer nor the SME that doubled its team after going viral on social networks.

Flexible work: a passing fad or a definitive option?

Although some people long for the old habit of going to the same office every day, reality has imposed another dynamic. With so many convenient locations and tailor-made plans on offer, it is difficult to convince new talent or hungry startups to return to traditional leasing.

Today the bet is on places where you can experiment, socialize, work without dying of routine and balance offline life without neglecting the daily Excel. Not bad for those who dreamed of seeing the obelisk from the window... or escaping to a vineyard on a sunny Friday.
