If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Giving can be a small amount and it still makes a difference.”__________If you've been listening to me for a while, you may recall that I attending the inaugural SXSW Sydney event in 2023 and amoung some of the most incredible talks and panels I attended, I came across today's guest. Theresa Winters organised the panel and session with the topic being microgrants.

She also acts as the Sydney lead for the Fomo Killer Society - a private group of the best founders, operators, and community builders throughout Australasia. Theresa's favourite activities include running a book club (focused on prize-winning and acclaimed literature); teaching workshops about Historical Linguistics at Laneway Learning; and planning elaborate theme parties for her friends!

Annie Rinker, Director for the Office of Innovation at Hines and Board Member for the Global Workspace Association joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker, to share how Hines is future proofing their portfolio with Space-as-a-Service. Annie is the woman leading the roll out of Space-as-a-Service across the Hines global portfolio, which includes 539 properties across 205 cities in 24 countries on 5 continents (representing a whopping 232m SqFt.) The two talk about management agreements with operating partners, what to look for in an operating partner, and how the right Space-as-a-Service footprint becomes less riskier than a conventional 10 year lease. **Annie has some important advice for asset owners who are thinking about launching their own inhouse Space-as-a-Service operation.** Questions asked in this episode What drives the Hines approach to Space-as-a-Service? Why create a sub-brand? How do you determine which assets in your portfolio to roll out a Space-as-a-Service footprint in? What are "fully integrated building amenities?" Why go the operating partner route versus inhouse? What do you look for in operating partners? What does a financial model for landlords and operators that is sustainable for both look like? (Audience question from Benjamin Bach, Vice President Cushman & Wakefield) What are the minimum amenities a building should offer? Do you think all this remote work we're doing is going to increase the demand for Space-as-a-Service? Do you agree with the JLL prediction that 30% of overall office stock will be Space-as-a-Service by 2030? What is your view on asset owners who go the inhouse route to launching a Space-as-a-Service operation? Value Bombs and Tweetables Coworking adds value through services to customers, which delivers revenue to the bottom line of a building Space-as-a-Service can add $2 NOI to an asset Real estate is becoming a much more service oriented industry Large companies need to be nimble, small companies need the ability to quickly grow Hines recognized they had to offer a Space-as-a-Service product in their buildings to attract and retain customers Space-as-a-Service becomes a competitive advantage for an asset Flexspace enables Hines to align with the needs of contemporary and future office customers With the ability to work remotely the physical office becomes more of a want than a need, so real estate owners need to think about the services that support culture and collaboration Hines chose the operating partner route versus spinning up inhouse operation When looking at asset strategy and how to incorporate flex it’s Important to choose a brand that is aligned with your building’s brand, but also important for the partnership to be fully aligned  We’re going to see a shift of attitudes in the capital markets towards Space-as-a-Service The right Space-as-a-Service footprint becomes less riskier than a conventional 10 year lease Health and wellness amenities will be expected of Class A office buildings in a post Covid world. Remote work will create more demand for Space-as-a-Service  Space-as-a-Service could exceed JLL’s prediction of 30% of overall office stock by 2030 Warning: Real estate owners have a lot to consider before launching their own Space-as-a-Service operation versus going the operating partner route.
