Shared commercial office space and coworking are two very big trends in D.C. Portions of this space are temporary units but the majority are full time office users, even if they are not full time residents. Legal office sharing is prevalent here because many firm clients also want to office in DC - and often their law firm will also be willing to provide them with space. Accordingly, the "extra office" market is fairly tight and the coworking footprint has vitality. Professional. Business and financial services account for over 1,150,000 jobs here. There is a total of about 60,000,000 sq. ft. of commercial space here. WeWork coworking is the largest occupier in the city which bodes very well for the shared commercial office space sector focused on the rental of individual offices or groups of offices, incorporating the amenities used by the "host" firm. It is interesting to note that there are over 100 coworking centers in DC at the present time. The flex space market accounts for over 3 million sq. ft. of space in DC - which ranks it as the 8th largest US flex market by total space occupied. A large portion of this market is in the East End submarket (east of 15th Street).
