At a time when working patterns are changing rapidly, companies are increasingly looking to break out of traditional frameworks. Large, impersonal open spaces and rigid commercial leases no longer meet the current needs of organizations seeking flexibility, agility and engaging experiences. With this in mind, Espace Waverly redefines the office and the corporate event, focusing on two pillars: flexible offices and versatile event spaces.
In this article, we explore how these new formats support the growth of modern companies, strengthen internal culture and adapt to the realities of a changing world of work.
1. Why companies are moving away from traditional offices
A growing need for flexibility
The business world has never been so changing. Merger, rapid growth, contraction, transition to hybrid: space requirements fluctuate. Yet traditional commercial leases leave no room for manoeuvre. Worse still, they commit companies for several years, when their future can be decided in a matter of months.
This is where flexible offices come in: renting for just a few months, adjusting the size of the space as the team grows, pooling certain services – all this becomes not only possible, but fluid.
The rise of hybrid work
Today, the majority of organizations adopt a hybrid formula: a few days in the office, the rest remotely. In this context, keeping a large space unoccupied makes no economic sense. It’s better to opt for a well-designed space, adapted to the days when the team meets, without breaking the bank the rest of the time.
2. Espace Waverly’s flexible offices
Spaces on a human scale
At Espace Waverly, flexibility isn’t just a marketing ploy: it’s a structural pillar. Each office has been designed to adapt to different configurations: a growing start-up, a temporary project team, a satellite of a larger company or the head office of an SME.
The objective is clear: to offer a quality professional environment, with no time constraints and no fixed surface area. Need an office for three months? We can provide it. Your team grows from 5 to 10 people? We can adjust.
A turnkey environment
Flexible leasing doesn’t mean compromising on quality. All our offices are equipped, connected, carefully furnished and ready to use. High-speed Internet, ergonomic furniture, meeting rooms, shared services: you arrive, you work.
The icing on the cake: tenant companies benefit from access to Waverly’s event spaces, which enhances organizational agility.
3. The power of internal events for corporate culture
More than work: creating experiences
As work becomes increasingly dematerialized, face-to-face moments become real opportunities for bonding. In-house events are no longer just a “bonus”, but a strategic tool for :
-
strengthen team cohesion,
-
transmit the corporate culture,
-
mark important milestones (launch, target reached, hiring, etc.),
-
stimulate commitment and pride of belonging.
A well-organized happy hour or an inspiring workshop can do more for retention than dozens of online meetings.
The importance of location
For a successful in-house event, the venue plays a crucial role. It must be warm, professional, adaptable and easy to access. All too often, companies find themselves improvising on their own premises, or renting standardized, soulless rooms.
That’s where Espace Waverly’s event offering comes in: modern, modular and bright spaces in the heart of Montreal, designed to host all kinds of corporate events in a friendly and inspiring spirit.
4. Espace Waverly: one place, a thousand uses
One room, several atmospheres
One of Espace Waverly’s great strengths lies in its versatility. The team has designed rooms that can be used for formal conferences, collaborative workshops, product launches and even parties.
Removable tables, adjustable lighting, high-performance sound systems, lounge areas: everything is designed to adapt the ambience to the event’s objective.
Customized support
Organizing an event, even on a small scale, can quickly become time-consuming. At Waverly, we offer a support service to simplify the task: caterer recommendations, logistical coordination, space planning, technical management… everything is thought out so that the company can concentrate on what’s essential: people.
5. Testimonials: what companies have to say
“We needed a space for 6 months, without wanting to make a long-term commitment. Waverly offered us a bright, ready-to-use office with a great atmosphere.”
– Sarah, co-founder of a Montreal tech startup
“We were looking for a place to bring our scattered teams together for a day of strategy. The rooftop, the big screen, the relaxation areas: everything was perfect to mix work and pleasure.”
– Marc, HR Director of a growing SME
“The 5 à 7s held at Waverly have become highlights of our year. The location makes all the difference.”
– Clara, Communications Manager
6. Strategic leverage for modern companies
Gaining agility
Companies that integrate flexible solutions into their real estate and events strategy gain in responsiveness. They can test new markets, welcome freelancers or partners on short notice, organize events without delay… In short, they move faster in a constantly changing world.
Reduce costs without sacrificing experience
A flexible office generally costs less than a traditional lease, especially when you factor in the costs of furniture, utilities, maintenance and equipment. Likewise, a turnkey event space makes it possible to organize quality meetings without blowing budgets.
Attracting and retaining talent
New generations of workers attach great importance to their working environment. A well-designed, lively environment conducive to interaction is a competitive advantage when it comes to recruiting and retaining staff.
