About
Affordable workspace policies provide certain types of businesses space in new developments at below-market rents, including startups and small- and medium-sized enterprises. Affordable workspace is provided by developers in a number of ways: it can be leased and managed by an affordable workspace provider approved by the local government; managed by the owner of the new development; or leased by the property owner to one or more businesses approved by local government. Workspace providers are usually commercial property owners, social enterprises, or foundations.
