The flexibility to work in a hybrid way during the pandemic gave a greater boost to the use of coworking-type offices, but for only a few hours. The pandemic has also accelerated a demand for renting other types of spaces such as meeting rooms, offices, multipurpose rooms, massage cabins and even movie theaters.

In 2021, the Kotaku platform, dedicated to the rental of spaces by the hour, had a 40% growth in the rental of offices by the hour as companies continue to opt for remote or hybrid work, carrying out operational work from home or in space office hours.

Mauricio Savariego, founder and CEO of Kotaku, said that many companies even where part of their staff is working remotely, they require office rental by the hour to meet with clients or hold meetings, or to give their employees the option of an environment where they have fewer distractions than at home.

The independent worker who has already realized that he cannot work at home and prefers to go out or have certain meetings in a temporary office, Savariego said.

Kotaku is present in 56 cities, with the highest demand for hourly rentals in Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Querétaro, where the average rental is 2 hours.

As more people are fully vaccinated, outdoor parties and events are making a comeback, and the advantage of renting a space only by the hour is that it avoids the need to sign a long-term contract in uncertain times.

IZA Business Centers, Regus, IOS Offices and Sach also have the option of renting an office for hours or days, which generally include access to facility amenities such as a cafeteria, bathrooms and some stationery services at the rental price.

The rental of an office or any location can be made 48 hours in advance and is reserved through an application or the website. Kokatu has validated that 62% of people prefer to return to work at the office under a hybrid scheme, alternating some days of the week in the office with other days at home.

In addition to the main cities, offices can also be rented by the hour in Puebla, Toluca, Chihuahua, León and Aguascalientes.
