Looking Towards the Future

The Colliers-LiquidSpace partnership marks a new beginning for flexible real estate. But more broadly, commercial real estate as a whole is pressing towards the future. Hats off to Colliers International for their insight in being an early adopter of flexible real estate technology. Colliers is one of the most influential real estate services companies in the world. Seeing the shift in commercial real estate towards flexible office, Colliers Atlanta, led by CEO Bob Matthews, has made a groundbreaking leap forward.

The Colliers-LiquidSpace partnership brings two powerful real estate sources together and marks a new beginning in the commercial real estate world.

It’s already apparent that flexible office is changing the world. Just 10 years ago, flexible office & coworking were basically non existent. Today? Flexible office is growing exponentially. And, the most influential companies in the world are getting in the flexible office game. So, are you still wondering just how fast flexible office is growing? This graph below illustrates it pretty well.

LiquidSpace as Platform and Differentiator

As the largest Flexible Office Network in the world, the network factor has always been integral to our growth here at LiquidSpace. This partnership is a significant growth indicator in the world of flexible office. The Colliers-LiquidSpace partnership represents the confluence of two distinct commercial real estate worlds. Colliers represents traditional commercial real estate – big, powerful, and with a wide reach. Serving 68 countries with 15,000+ employees and an expansive network of space and clients, when Colliers takes a step towards the future, the commercial real estate world listens.

LiquidSpace, on the other hand, is a small team with powerful technology, a no-hassle legal framework, and a simple discovery and leasing process to suit flexible office demand. With this partnership, Colliers Atlanta now has access to the LiquidSpace Flexible Office platform. That means, for the thousands of people that Colliers Atlanta represents, the discovery and leasing of office space will now be a click away.

Colliers-LiquidSpace Partnership – Hear from the CEOs

The Colliers-LiquidSpace partnership comes from Bob Matthews, CEO of Colliers Atlanta, and Mark Gilbreath, CEO of LiquidSpace. Hear what they have to say on the subject.

“Colliers has witnessed a shift in the market: tenants of every size are seeking greater flexibility in their portfolios and owners and landlords are looking for new ways to address this demand.

Partnering with an innovative company like LiquidSpace is key to that mission.”

– Bob Matthews, CEO, Colliers Atlanta

Mark Gilbreath, the CEO of LiquidSpace is equally as excited about the partnership. He said:
