New Flex Workspace Centers Opening in West Des Moines

A company that provides flexible workspace centers around the world is opening four new centers in West Des Moines to meet the demand for flexible space as hybrid work continues to rise.

International Workplace Group announced in a release that it is opening flexible workspace centers at 1501 42nd St. in West Des Moines, 2323 Grand Ave. in Des Moines, 1601 West Lakes Parkway in West Des Moines, and 1200 Valley West Drive in West Des Moines. The addition of the new centers brings to eight the number of Iowa locations opened by International Workplace Group. The company has 867 new locations around the world.

According to the release, the new flexible workspace centers will serve every type of hybrid worker spanning across employment sectors. The company’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space to their unique needs, company officials said in the release.

Each of the new centers will include private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative space.

Mark Dixon, CEO and founder of International Workplace Group, said the Des Moines area’s strong population growth in recent years will allow the company to “establish an even stronger and much-needed footprint in the state.”

“Iowa is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans and to meet more employees where they live and want to be,” he said. “Our openings in the Des Moines area support companies who are discovering that flexible working and shorter commutes not only boost employee happiness and productivity, but also help the environment and allow for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs.”
