The rapid rise of flexible office spaces has meant both independent workers and entire companies can ramp their space needs up or down as needed more seamlessly than ever before.

Rahul Raj, a coworking user at Spaces, poses for a photograph at his home in Toronto on Wednesday, September 4, 2019. TORONTO -- When Rahul Raj was ready to move his small but growing business out of his home, he found a range of flexible options waiting for him despite Toronto's tight office market thanks to a boom in co-working.

Flexibility was key for Raj, who is working to add at least two more staff to his team of two full-timers and a few contractors at his 5&Vine firm that helps tech start-ups raise venture capital.He was able to secure a space that had the right mix of design, light, bustle and location to fill the growing needs of the company thanks to a co-working company called Spaces.

The growth not only responds to demands for more flexible space, but for any space at all as Toronto and Vancouver face unprecedented office space demand. A report by CB Insights noted that WeWork's buildings average about 4.6 square metres per person, compared with an industry-wide average of 23.2 square metres for commercial offices."Especially in the last 20 years, the average square feet per employee that's needed has been shrinking, and that's based on technology and people multitasking and more flexible workspace."
