Private offices, coworking and meeting rooms in Mexico

The maracas are ringing out across the country, and while some people are enjoying spicy tacos, others are choosing to shake up their daily lives with concepts straight out of fashion magazines. Coworking has arrived in Mexico! Gone is the cliché of the employee holed up behind his plastic palm tree. Here, people want change, flexible working, sharing and - why not? - a touch of community madness. Say goodbye to drab open spaces, welcome to dapper spaces where laptops proudly show off between two cups of Oaxaca coffee and an impromptu meeting on a rooftop. But what's driving this shared office market? Why so many followers? Follow the Mexican coworking wave, it's got more than one trump card up its sleeve.

Coworking in Mexico: an unmissable phenomenon

There's no escaping this new trend, which attracts start-ups, seasoned freelancers and colorful companies. Start-ups in search of productivity are just as likely to be encountered as forty-somethings fleeing the routine of grey cubicles.

The changing face of the business world has a lot to do with this: today's managers are looking for real flexibility to adapt their office rental to their growth or current desires. A pied-à-terre in glittering Mexico City, another near Puebla's colonial zócalo, anything is possible without breaking your back on nine years of rigid commitment.

Why are companies looking for so much flexibility?

Change your mind like you change your shirt - that's the new motto of modern bosses. Imagine having to grow fast - or, on the contrary, being forced by the zeitgeist to cut costs... The old office rental contracts used to make people cringe, but the new private offices or open-plan offices are saving the day.

With these flexible formulas, there's no question of keeping your company in one place for too long! The turnkey solution frees the mind: all you have to do is pack your suitcase (or your backpack, if you're planning to join the digital nomads) and take your whole team off to brighter horizons in just a few clicks.

A plethora of services and facilities

Choosing a coworking space in Mexico is a bit like opting for an all-you-can-eat buffet: light-filled meeting rooms, confidential lounges for secret brainstorming sessions, turbocharged wi-fi and supercharged printers are just waiting for your stroke of genius. Add a good dose of local organic tea, maybe a 3D printer, even a day-care center for your digital offspring, and all you need is a swimming pool to complete the package.

Best of all, when you move to Guadalajara, Playa del Carmen or Monterrey, you'll be rubbing shoulders with an ultra-motivated community, ideal for tropical networking, exchanging productivity tips or simply sharing a craft beer break. Whether you're an intriguing lone dreamer or a structured business ace, there's something for everyone.

Where are Mexico's coworking oases?

Across the country, cities are vying with each other to attract entrepreneurs, freelancers and companies ready to give office rental a try. The diversity of what's on offer is breathtaking, from trendy skyscrapers to mansions bursting with colonial charm.

A brief overview is in order to grasp all the regional subtleties of the art of Mexican coworking.

Mexico City: the rebel capital of shared offices

In Mexico City, coworking spaces are popping up almost every 100 meters. Between the chic districts of Roma-Condesa and the bustling city center, it's hard to choose. There are as many vibes as there are rushes during the rainy season: zen-minimalist ambience, cheerful creative hodgepodge or high-tech temples, everyone has their own style.

We discover places where coliving rhymes with multicultural afterworks; trendy rooftops and an incredibly dense range of events to build up your address book and boost your creativity - all with a breathtaking view of the surrounding volcanoes.

Guadalajara: innovation and the good life

Guadalajara is Mexico's Silicon Valley. Here, technology meets mariachi traditions and the relaxed atmosphere attracts the region's digital wildlife. It's easy to come across entire teams who have escaped from a classic lease to enjoy the relaxed pace, between taco breaks and improvised technology panels in the gardens.

Playa del Carmen: Eldorado for digital nomads

Between dips in the turquoise sea, you'll find telecommuting gurus from Europe, the United States and even the rest of South America. An international atmosphere reigns in Playa del Carmen's coworking spaces.

Here, coliving and office rental become almost synonymous with extended vacations. You'll enjoy state-of-the-art services, yoga sessions, wellness workshops and an infinite number of possibilities for mixing sunshine, business goals and exotic cocktails. You can work, but you have to wear sunscreen.
