Colleague Launches Marketplace for Fractional Office Space

DENVER, CO — May 8, 2025 — In today’s hybrid work world, many businesses are asking the same question: “What do we do with our office space when our team members are working remotely?” Now, thanks to Colleague, a new web-based marketplace, the answer is finally clear: find a business that wants to use it!

‍

Addressing a Gap in the Market for Office Space

‍Colleague is the first dedicated B2B marketplace where businesses with available fractional office space—due to hybrid schedules or changing needs—can list that space for a long term sublease (or, a “license”) on the days it's empty. Other businesses seeking long-term office space on a part-time basis —1 to 3 days a week—can browse these listings, connect with hosts, and enter into direct subleases.

‍

The Problem

‍In the U.S., over 50% of knowledge workers and nearly 60% of small businesses operate on hybrid schedules. That means millions of square feet of office space go unused multiple days a week—costing businesses real money. Not to mention that empty offices are a drag on company morale and vibrant office culture. “The office space market hasn’t caught up with how we actually work today,” said a Colleague spokesperson. “Colleague exists to fill that gap—for the thousands of businesses that have some form of hybrid work schedule.”

‍

The Solution

‍Colleague enables companies to list private office space by the desk and by the day of the week (such as every Monday, Wednesday, Friday) —creating “fractional office space.” For example, a 20-person firm using most of its space only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays can list the unused space for sublease on Thursdays and Fridays. Companies looking for consistent office space less than 5 days a week can browse Colleague’s listings for free and contact hosts directly to arrange a sublease. “It’s a smarter way to use office space—and a better way to work,” the spokesperson added. “Hosts earn passive revenue; guests get the space they need, when they need it.”

‍

How It Works

‍Since the host and guest (subtenant) businesses determine the arrangement between themselves, with no fees or commissions from Colleague other than a monthly listing fee paid by the host, companies can list available windowed offices, interior offices, or desks on terms and schedules tailored their needs.   Colleague is commission-free, offers dedicated space, and is optimized for long-term business-to-business relationships. Colleague also plays well with commercial real estate brokers and landlords, who can list or search the marketplace. Brokers are advised to notify hosts early if they will be seeking a commission with a potential subtenant, and hosts are advised that broker commissions are standard practice in the commercial real estate market.
