Eighteen years in coworking, from running spaces to modeling them. Every engagement is delivered as working software in your own portal, not a report that goes in a drawer.
01What We Believe
What began as a grassroots movement has become a real estate operating model. Today, flexible workspace is no longer just about desks, memberships, or community. It is about revenue, experience, service, data, hospitality, and asset performance.
That evolution is where we work.
We help owners and operators move from vague opportunity to clear strategy, from static square footage to active business model, and from disconnected decisions to an operating system that can actually be launched, managed, and improved.
We are not here to sell a generic coworking concept. The right model depends on the asset, and our job is to help you find it.

04Who We Serve
Owners evaluating how underutilized space can become a more active, revenue-producing asset.
Teams exploring coworking, flex office, spec suites, amenity workspace, or mixed-use workspace strategies.
Operators entering the market, signing leases, growing to new locations, or improving the spaces they already run.
Groups that need consistent models, decision tools, operating frameworks, and market-specific financial clarity.
Owners integrating flexible workspace into larger environments where work, hospitality, residential, and community uses overlap.
05What We Do
Practical solutions for complex real estate challenges.
We help owners, developers, and operators understand whether a flexible workspace model makes sense for a specific asset, market, audience, and financial goal.
We translate the opportunity into a practical operating model, including space mix, pricing, membership structure, staffing, technology, customer experience, and launch sequence.
We help existing operators strengthen revenue, simplify operations, improve sales systems, reduce friction, and create a more stable business.
We help clients use dashboards, documentation and decision tools to make the business easier to understand, manage, and scale.
Every engagement is delivered as something you keep using, built for how owners, operators, and advisors actually make decisions.
Every engagement runs through a private portal: the Flex Space Pro Forma, market intelligence, launch plans, and operating dashboards in one place, custom-built for your situation.
A private project memory captures every conversation and decision. CORE handles the research and the synthesis. A senior advisor reviews the work and owns the judgment.
The result is practical financial clarity, delivered faster, in a decision environment you can actually launch, manage, and improve.
Engagements run in English across time zones, with every model in your own currency and units, delivered through your portal wherever the building is.

David Walker has worked in coworking and flexible workspace since 2008, first as an operator and founder, then as an advisor to owners, developers, and workspace groups across the U.S. and international markets.
He co-founded one of the early coworking spaces in Austin, Texas, before coworking became a mainstream real estate category, and grew it to three locations. That gave him firsthand operator insight into creating demand, selling memberships, managing private offices, and running the business day to day. He later co-founded the world's first full-service coworking consultancy, advising developers, investors, and real estate groups across the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.
His work sits at the intersection of real estate strategy, operating models, financial planning, and AI-native delivery. He helps clients move from scattered assumptions and disconnected decisions into clear models, practical plans, and a private Flex Intelligence Portal that makes the work easier to understand, manage, and act on.
His perspective is grounded in firsthand operating experience and years of advisory work, and in a practical belief that flexible workspace strategy only works when the numbers, the customer experience, the team, and the systems all fit together.
