Vast Coworking Group™ Acquires Intelligent Office®

TL;DR

Vast Coworking Group has acquired Intelligent Office, expanding its North American footprint. Intelligent Office brings its unique full-service member experience to Vast, including custom call answering and executive assistants.

Vast was founded last year by franchising veteran Ray Titus with the express intention of building a framework to connect a variety of coworking brands, services, and amenities within the coworking industry – similarly to what has been done by major multi-brand hotel chains. With the addition of Intelligent Office, Vast has expanded its North American footprint.

“Intelligent Office brings not only more locations to Vast, but also its unique, full service member experience that includes custom call answering, executive assistants, and more,” said Titus, CEO of United Franchise Group™, the company that houses Vast Coworking Group and Starpoint Brands. “Intelligent Office is the perfect addition to Vast as we continue to establish a network of coworking spaces to meet the evolving needs of our diverse and dynamic member community.”

Launched in 1995, Intelligent Office was the first concept to commercialize the virtual office space. Entrepreneurs with businesses of all sizes were able to leverage Intelligent Office’s flexible office leases to focus and do their best work. Jason Anderson, President of Vast, will lead the brand.

“We are thrilled to welcome Intelligent Offices into our Vast family,” said Anderson.

As the worldwide demand for flexible workspace continues to rise, Giovanni Palavicini, Co-President of the Board at the Global Workspace Association says, “The acquisition of Intelligent Office by Vast Coworking Group shows how the flexible workspace industry continues to evolve. The last few years have solidified the flexible workspace industry as a pillar to the office sector. Flexibility is the future of work and with their growth, Vast Coworking Group continues to show their commitment to our industry.”

Intelligent Office is now a member of the Starpoint Brands family of trusted companies, a division of United Franchise Group (UFG).
