What does the future of commercial workspaces look like? In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, we dive into that very question with Jacob Bates, a global real estate veteran turned co-working innovator.
From Salt Lake City to San Diego, Jacob’s journey includes major stints with Nike and JLL before launching Rubix, a white-label co-working and flex office operator that’s redefining how owners and occupiers approach space. Jacob shares insights on:


Why co-working is outpacing traditional office space


How hybrid work is reshaping office needs


What makes Rubix different from WeWork and other big brands
