SquareFoot, a Tech Powered Brokerage, Expands with Acquisition of Upsuite
SquareFoot grows its portfolio of flexible office space products as companies look for personalized solutions in a post-COVID work environment
NEW YORK, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SquareFoot, a new kind of commercial real estate company that helps companies solve their office space needs by leveraging technology, has continued its growth amidst the single largest workplace disruption in modern history with its recent acquisition of the coworking and private workplace company Upsuite.
The acquisition comes on the heels of SquareFoot's expansion into two new markets across the U.S., with the addition of office locations in Los Angeles and Houston. The New York City-based company began shaking up the market before the pandemic took hold and is continuing its mission recognizing the increasing need and desire for flexible lease term solutions across geographies that capture tenant demand and servicing requirements for a multitude of options. SquareFoot had been leading a market shake up before the pandemic took hold.
Upsuite will support SquareFoot in its ability to quickly scale and serve tenants with flexible office requirements across 40 markets in the United States and Canada, and will add to SquareFoot's growing portfolio of flexible office space solutions, having acquired PivotDesk - a shared office space marketplace - in February 2019.
Upsuite will operate as a subsidiary of SquareFoot and will continue to be run by the company's Founder and CEO, Ben Wright.
"We were impressed by SquareFoot's fantastic leadership team and its ability to provide digital solutions to a traditional real estate industry through leading automated demand aggregation tools," Wright said. "Together, SquareFoot and Upsuite can now offer an even more robust portfolio of office solutions across the traditional, coworking, and shared space spectrum."
"The acquisition of Upsuite was in response to the changing office space market in 2020," said SquareFoot Founder and CEO Jonathan Wasserstrum. "Upsuite will serve tenants looking for office lease flexibility, smaller private spaces or coworking options that, when combined with our additional solutions through PivotDesk and FLEX, will position SquareFoot as a market leader for office space flexibility."
SquareFoot's hiring of veteran brokers across new offices in LA, Houston and NYC, paired with its powerful technology and flexible office space options, allows the company to take advantage of the accelerating recovery in office space demand and to reshape the future of work space in a post pandemic world.
