Richie and Charissa Parsons, Venture X owners in Virginia and Maryland, are seeing a major shift in the market—and it’s reshaping opportunities for franchise owners.

Traditional commercial real estate is struggling to fill full floors with large corporate tenants. Landlords who once relied on big budgets and long-term leases are now facing fewer of those “traditional uses” coming through the door.

That shift is opening the door for flexible workspace brands like Venture X. As demand for flexible, professional workspace keeps rising, franchise owners across the Vast network are stepping into prime real estate opportunities that weren’t available a few years ago.

Richard Rehme, Intelligent Office owner and former VP of Finance and Business Operations, wasn’t looking for franchising at first. He was looking for a better work–life balance and a business model that matched the way he wanted to work.

After exploring several options, Intelligent Office stood out.
Richard saw a model that aligned with his corporate background, required a small team, and operated on strict business hours—giving him the freedom to stay as involved (or uninvolved) as he chose.

For professionals looking to build a business that fits their lifestyle without sacrificing opportunity, the Vast network makes it possible.

Coworking isn’t just for solopreneurs anymore, and Channen Smith is seeing it firsthand.

As an Office Evolution & Venture X owner in Colorado, Channen is watching demand shift in real time. Large companies like Ford, Accenture, Google, and Boeing are no longer looking for traditional office space.

Instead, they’re coming to coworking operators with a new request: “Can you support 20, 40, 50, even 60 of our employees?”

Enterprise teams are turning to coworking as a long-term solution, not a temporary fix. And that shift is creating a strong opportunity for franchise owners across the Vast network.
