Underwriting: coworking offices valuation compared to traditional offices 2019
In the first quarter of 2019, 88 percent of traditional office landlords agreed that, from an underwriting perspective, buildings with a coworking component are valued differently from buildings with a wholly traditional leased office. Numbers are similar for other senior executives in the sector, such as coworking operators (75 percent agreed). Underwriting involves an assessment of the degree of risk an individual or institution is taking before that risk is taken on. This risk commonly is a loan, insurance, or investment.
