The Texas Triangle’s population growth, combined with the rise of hybrid workspaces, is good news for the Lone Star State’s co-working markets.
Between the region’s five major metros, the Texas Triangle has added 2.5 million square feet of co-working space since January 2025, according to a report from WeWork owner Yardi Systems’ Yardi Kube.
Dallas-Fort Worth is Texas’ biggest co-working market, spanning 6.7 million square feet. DFW ranks fifth nationally, after Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C, according to the report. Houston is the next-largest Texas co-working space market, with 5 million square feet. Austin has 2 million square feet, and San Antonio has 1 million square feet, the report shows.
San Antonio is the fastest-growing co-working market in the Texas Triangle by percentage growth. Its inventory jumped 30 percent between January 2025 and January 2026, the third-largest percentage increase in the country after Jacksonville, Florida and Richmond, Virginia.
However, San Antonio’s numerical growth, 300,000 square feet, pales in comparison to North Texas, which added 1.5 million square feet of co-working space in the last year, according to the report. DFW ranks fifth nationally in terms of percentage growth; its inventory increased 29 percent from 5.2 million to 6.7 million square feet. Austin added 200,000 square feet, a 12 percent increase from early 2025, and Houston added 0.5 million square feet, an 11 percent increase.
The report highlights the diversity of co-working space operators. Nearly 80 percent of co-working locations nationwide are run by operators that are independent from the biggest players in the industry, WeWork, CBRE-backed Industrious and International Workplace Group, which owns Regus, HQ and Spaces.
DFW exemplifies this diversity. Of the 301 co-working locations that Co-working Mag tracks in DFW, International Workplace Group operates 59, WeWork operates 12, and Industrious operates four. The rest, 226 locations or 75 percent, are run by other companies.
Dallas’ office market has benefited from return to work mandates from major employers, like AT&T. Industry experts predict the waves of people returning to the office could boost demand for co-working spaces, too.
