New Work, a CEE-based flexible office space provider, launches its Series C capital increase. Its business focus will be on the development of services that address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.


“We just closed a Series B capital increase with a total of €2.1 million beginning of April. This gave us enough headroom to be prepared for the challenges due to COVID-19. Now as we see significant opportunities for accelerating our market presence, we will take the chance and increase our equity by raising additional €15 million as Series C capital increase. The further growth is significant, we will double the number of locations by the end of the year in Poland, followed by Hungary and the Czech Republic. It´s based on the demand from clients for flex office solutions due to the recession which is in front of us,” says Hubert Abt, New Work's founder and CEO.

“Post COVID-19, flexible offices will constitute as much as 30% of all office space available in Central and Eastern Europe. Before the crisis, this figure stood at only 3-5% according to our market update published in April. Some players such as Regus indicate a market share up to 70 % in the near future,” he adds.

by Property Forum
At Future of Real Estate 2026 in Warsaw, one observation kept resurfacing across the panel discussion on senior living: Polish senior living today sits where Polish PRS sat in 2017. The demographic case is undeniable. The capital case is compelling. And the structural answer — operators, regulation, tax — is where the real value will be created. For institutional investors looking at CEE, the question is no longer whether to enter the Polish senior living market. It is when, and through which structure, writes Piotr Zając, Managing Partner at Accace Poland, in an opinion piece for Property Forum.
