Monday, owned by the Urbania Group, will open a new store in Barcelona between mid-May and early June.

The space has an area of ​​more than 1,500 square meters and a capacity for more than 200 workers.

Beyond the possibility of sharing offices and expenses, the companies dedicated to this sector seek to offer a complete experience to workers, according to industry sources. For this reason, Monday has a team of experts who are responsible for matters related to the company's accounting, the presentation of taxes to finance or the preparation of marketing plans.

Gyms in house, organization of events, and spaces for restaurants or games rooms are other services that will be available in the new Monday coworking, which has already begun its commercialization. In fact, the company is offering a 15% discount to companies or workers who want to be part of the new space.

Promotional prices range between 200 euros and 400 euros per person, depending on the needs of each user. The current amount for a hot desk, that is, a non-fixed site, is 199 euros per person per month, while that of a private office within coworking amounts to 399 euros per person per month. In addition, Monday gives the possibility of hiring a daily pass, for thirty euros per person, or a weekly pass, for 99 euros per person.

With this opening, the company will add three office spaces in the Catalan capital. The two coworkings in operation have an area of ​​2,000 square meters and a capacity for 200 people, and are located in Barceloneta and Avenida Tibidabo.

These two centers opened their doors in September 2018, giving the starting signal to the activity of the company in Barcelona, ​​which now wants to expand its influence in the Catalan capital and in other cities of the Spanish geography.

The company plans to open between eight and ten new coworking in the coming years, some of which could be in Barcelona. These growth prospects show Urbania's commitment to alternative assets, after also launching Syllabus, specializing in student residences.

The coworking model has caught the big companies in the market. In addition to specialized companies such as WeWork and Spaces, real estate giants like Merlin and Colonial are also betting on this model of shared offices.

In fact, in the first months of 2019 some important operations have been carried out, such as the opening of the third office building of OneCoWork, with a total area of ​​3,750 square meters and an investment of 5.5 million euros. In addition, Regus plans to launch between fifteen and twenty new centers this year. The aim of the company is to add between 40,000 and 45,000 square meters of flexible offices.
