]]> coworking, flexible office space No Mike Kriel The one moment when most management agreements die 9 9 The one moment when most management agreements die full a1d2db80-f985-4b80-af29-f99cb1639fd4 https://share.transistor.fm/s/71f2a61c In 13 years of opening coworking locations, Mike's seen one thing kill more deals than anything else. It's not the agreement. It's what happens after you sign one.

There's a void between picking an operator and opening your space, and that void is where most landlords get caught off guard:

  • What does it cost to get your space to the operator's standard? 
  • How long will it take? 
  • What return can you actually expect once it's done?

The way to work through it is to walk the space together, office by office, wall by wall. Ownership prices out the work. The operator builds a pro forma based on the same walkthrough.

Then you put both numbers together and ask the honest question:

Is this worth doing?

Most of the time, the capital requirement is a fraction of a market deal. But the ones that fall apart are always the same story: expectations that were never grounded in reality, discovered too late to do anything about it.

He's talking you through what every competitive office building needs: 

  • Flexible workspace, from hot desks to enterprise-level space 
  • Plug and play spec suites (not white box, but actually move-in ready) 
  • Prime tenants with a range of sizes and lease terms 
  • Amenities that are useful, not just present 
  • A coworking operator, leasing team, and property management team that are all on the same page

In this episode, Mike breaks down Launch's proprietary 12-point evaluation system. This is the weighted criteria we use to determine whether a building is set up to succeed with flexible workspace.

From competition proximity to amenity activation, capital strength to tenant mix, this is the same scoring system Launch has used for 10 years to predict financial performance.

The 12 points are:

1. Proximity of competition
2. Quality of competition
3. Professional management services
4. Entrepreneurial strength and mindset
5. Capital strength
6. Risk tolerance
7. Building class
8. Operator alignment with building class
9. Parking
10. Amenities in the building
11. Activation of those amenities
12. Vacancy and tenant stack

How do your business and your building stack up against these criteria?
