Portal data kovorkingi.ru
The main part of the coworking spaces is located in Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to the kovorkingi.ru portal, there are 440 flexible spaces.

The capital market is confidently moving towards the European value of 5% of flexible spaces of the total number of total real estate. Annually, the segment market increases by 30%.

For regionals who are used to the classic office, this format is from the exotic area. Therefore, most launches should be expected in million-plus cities with high entrepreneurial activity. Coworking projects in the regions are launched by bold entrepreneurs who are ready in advance for the fact that the demand for them will have to be formed independently.
