# Co-Working Parking Spaces WePark Offers Low-Cost Temporary Outdoor Working Spaces By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-05-02 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wepark References: [fastcompany](https://www.fastcompany.com/90342223/the-newest-hot-coworking-space-costs-just-2-25-an-hour-because-it-is-a-parking-spot) & [wepark.us](https://www.wepark.us/) There's certainly no shortage of [co-working spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex) in San Francisco but WePark is now offering a unique new, low-cost option for freelancers and those who work remotely. While the majority of these spaces are situated indoors, WePark sets itself apart as an outdoor option in an unconventional location—parking spaces. WePark asks: "What if we used parking for… anything else?" and caters to people who are tired from [working from coffee shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-hunt) or their own home space, and cannot afford the regular costs of [co-working memberships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worq). As San Francisco is a city where apartments are already expensive, going to spend a day in a co-working facility is a luxury that some simply cannot afford. WePark gives people a temporary place to work for just $2.75 an hour. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Outdoor Co-working:** Providing temporary outdoor co-working spaces at reduced costs creates opportunities for disruption and new business models. - **Affordable Co-working Membership:** Offering low-cost co-working memberships can disrupt the current pricing model and appeal to a new market segment. - **Unconventional Workspaces:** Establishing workspaces in unconventional locations can create disruption and a unique selling proposition for a co-working provider. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Co-working:** WePark's concept of outdoor co-working at a low cost could disrupt the traditional co-working industry. - **Real Estate:** WePark's use of parking spaces for outdoor co-working could introduce a new revenue stream for owners and operators of parking lots or garage spaces. - **Hospitality:** WePark's unique approach to providing affordable temporary workspace can be seen as a possible complementary service for hotels, coffee shops, and other hospitality venues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peer-to-Peer Parking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valay-park.md) - [Workplace-Integrated Store Locations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hejworkshop.md) - [Payment-Giving Parking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/payment-parking-app.md) - [Grocery Co-Working Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwg-x-tesco.md) - [Smart Parking Access](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park4me.md) - [Modern Work-Near-Home Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worknearhome-concept.md) - [Portable Office Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ootbox.md) - [Connective Remote Work Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-studio1.md) - [Cafe Workspace Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafewofi.md)
