Desking.cz launched as the first Czech comparison engine for coworking and serviced offices

"Flexible office market has matured enough to offer a variety of different concepts and options. Thanks to its stratification, we decided to make it easier for potential tenants and users to navigate the offer," explains Lena Popova, Head of Office Leasing at 108 AGENCY. The agency also provides other services facilitating orientation on the Czech real estate market, including najdikancelare.cz, Skladj.cz, investuj.cz a interactive map of industrial and logistics real estate.

Desking.cz makes it easy for users to search using several criteria such as location, number of places for workers or start date of lease. The search engine compares several membership options as well as the services provided by the office. It is up to the prospective tenant which combination they choose and which provider they opt for.

In recent times of uncertainty, even larger companies that previously only rented meeting rooms or conference spaces are opting for flexible offices. Now they are also interested in closed offices, which they can rent on a short-term basis or change their size as needed. Renting flexible offices also offers other benefits such as shared space, closer contact with creative businesses and usually a well-priced premium location.

The hybrid model of working has not been abandoned by a large number of companies even after the end of covid measures and so they often combine working from the office with working from home. Firms need fewer fixed jobs, but on the other hand require more spaces that support teamwork and informal gatherings. The standard is to provide companies with more access to rented space so that employees can rotate. This gives companies the opportunity to reduce their costs and save money on jobs that would otherwise go unused.

Coworking centers and serviced offices often report high to full occupancy and this segment of the real estate market is growing rapidly. In recent years, several new coworking and serviced office buildings have opened.
