Yardi’s done it again- 
hey there, CoworkingCafe

Finding the perfect office space is no small feat, especially when relying on Google to sift through a sheer volume of options. For freelancers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and even larger enterprises, the search for a suitable workspace can feel like navigating a maze—one filled with outdated listings, vague descriptions, and the overwhelming task of comparing locations.

Yardi has once again set the bar high for the UK flex scene, with its innovative listing site, CoworkingCafe. As a distinguished member of the PropTech family that has been leading the industry since 1984, CoworkingCafe is here to deliver the UK and Ireland a refined, user-centric solution, turning the often overwhelming search for workspace into a seamless, sophisticated endeavour.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Navigating the noise

Cutting through the chaos of the booming coworking scene, Yardi has unleashed its smash-hit US platform in the UK and Ireland. In this crowded market, where spaces battle for attention and users struggle to navigate the noise, CoworkingCafe has emerged as a primary guide and gateway to the UK’s most dynamic work environments. 

The newest innovation from the tech giant embodies Yardi's unwavering mission to meet the industry's evolving needs, born from the surging demand for flexible, modern workspaces. “Lead volume is up 50% year-over-year and we anticipate more than 40,000 leads being delivered to operators this year”, Peter Kolaczynski, Associate Director, Yardi tells Flex and The City.

Yardi’s expansion across the pond naturally follows its immense success in the US, marking its title as one of North America’s largest and most-trusted directories of coworking spaces. “CoworkingCafe, while only a few years old, has already been established as a top lead generating listing site for the coworking community”, Peter elaborates. With over 16,500 curated coworking spaces, the platform’s streamlined solution is already attracting roughly 2 million visits a month and generating 300,000 high-quality leads per year.

“We are very excited about our recent expansion into the UK and Irish markets as the density of coworking here surpasses what we see in North America”.

This is the first of Yardi's suite of 5 established commercial listing platforms to make its UK debut, joining CommercialCafe, CommercialSearch, PropertyShark, 42Floors, and Point2—all of which feature coworking availability alongside traditional commercial listings.

Beyond just listings

CoworkingCafe is more than just a mere listing site—it's a sophisticated resource designed to meet the needs of today’s UK office seekers. Yardi’s platform transcends the traditional ‘listing site’ by offering a curated selection of premium workspaces. Unlike the generic and often cumbersome results yielded by a simple Google search, CoworkingCafe allows users to tailor their search based on specific criteria. Here, only the most relevant, high-quality spaces are highlighted, ensuring that users find not just an office, but a space that aligns with their vision and needs. With exclusive deals and offers not available elsewhere, CoworkingCafe adds an extra layer of convenience, turning the search for workspace into a personalized, value-packed experience.

Plus, the platform provides real-time availability, ensuring that users avoid outdated listings and wasted time, allowing for a quick and efficient search for ready-to-occupy spaces. 

Whether you're a remote worker, freelancer, or digital nomad, think of CoworkingCafe as your new matchmaker. The platform connects workers with their perfect workspace, filtering searches by location, price, and amenities. With a comprehensive directory of coworking spaces, including packages, photographs, floor plans and even 360-degree videos, CoworkingCafe empowers today’s professionals with the flexibility and personalisation they crave.

Empowering Operators 

In a market saturated with operator options, standing out is essential. CoworkingCafe now offers UK businesses the opportunity to list their coworking spaces, free of charge and without the need of a Yardi Kube membership. This market leading lead generation tool enables flex operators to manage inventory, marketing collateral, availability and pricing all across a centralised CRM dashboard. Justin Harley, Regional Director, Yardi Systems elucidates the operator gain: 

“Providing a way for workspaces to market their business and drive leads free of charge is a really powerful tool, especially as the market for workspaces becomes increasingly crowded and needs of users become more specific. We encourage workspace operators across the UK and Ireland to claim their listing on coworkingcare.com and start generating more leads.”

Indeed, with so many operators vying for attention, distinguishing one from another has become a Herculean task. CoworkingCafe not only spotlights each flex space against a sea of sister spaces but reels in more leads. Win-win? We think so. 

At its core, CoworkingCafe is about more than just finding a desk—it’s about slashing office footprints, streamlining commutes, and making office search a seamless, user-friendly experience. “Bringing CoworkingCafe to the UK and Ireland is  a move which continues our support of the coworking and flex space industry”, Justin affirms. With its intuitive design and commitment to quality, CoworkingCafe is not just changing the game—it’s setting a new standard in the coworking landscape of the UK and Ireland.
