Peak days define a pass bundle: averages can overstate capacity

A monthly average can conceal the most important decision when booking flexible desks: how many people concentrate on one or two days. A team with few monthly visits may need more simultaneous seats on Tuesday than a team with more visits spread from Monday to Friday.

The gap appears in CBRE’s regional data. In its 2025 survey, 73% of organizations reported their peak days were at capacity, while 34% were at capacity on average. That difference makes it unhelpful to multiply an average without first looking at the weekly calendar. The figure describes organizations across the Americas, not a Medellín-only forecast.

For teams alternating between home and office, a pass bundle works as a bank of day-access entries. The coworking pass bundle in Ciudad del Río makes it possible to compare those entries with expected attendance, without assuming every seat will be used in the same way.

What does a coworking membership include?

A flexible-desk membership is best understood as access to work, rather than a permanently assigned office. At NOI, the published experience includes 24/7 operation, high-speed internet, and ergonomic furniture; its fit depends on how many entries the team needs and when people overlap.

Soundproof phone booths, coffee, bicycle parking, mail reception, and a pet-friendly policy are also available. Meeting rooms and the open-air theater serve different uses: a meeting for six people does not require the same setup as a workshop or an event.

• Day desks: suited to variable attendance or occasional visitors.
• Dedicated desks and private offices: provide more continuity when attendance is stable.
• Meeting rooms: NOI offers options for 6, 10, and 14 people; capacity is the maximum number of attendees a space can accommodate.

When does coworking by the hour make sense?

Coworking by the hour or by entries is often useful when attendance changes from week to week, peaks are predictable, or part of the team visits Medellín occasionally. A pass bundle is not the same as an attendance policy: it is a way to cover the days that policy and operations actually create.

The most useful reference is expected attendance per person and per week, separated by day. CBRE’s 2026 regional survey placed actual average attendance at 2.9 days versus an expectation of 3.2; the gap suggests allowing room for adjustment instead of treating every planned day as used.

• 10 entries for COP 470,000: equal COP 47,000 per entry before purchase terms are considered.
• 20, 50, and 100 entries: published prices are COP 900,000, COP 1,960,000, and COP 3,500,000; the cost per entry falls to COP 45,000, COP 39,200, and COP 35,000.
• Validity, transfers, taxes, and availability depend on the provider’s current terms and are best made clear before purchase.

How can a team choose coworking by the hour in Medellín?

The choice becomes concrete when location, opening hours, and peak-day capacity are considered together. For a team moving through Ciudad del Río, simultaneous availability matters more than the monthly average; secure access, a place to take calls, and proximity to the daily route also matter.

In Medellín, the traditional-office context does not translate directly into a flexible-desk price. JLL reported 3.7% office vacancy and average Prime rents of COP 96,700 per square meter per month for the first half of 2026. These are signals about office commitment, not a comparable coworking rate.

• Capacity: the count should begin with the highest number of people overlapping, not only the full team size.
• Workday type: concentration days, meetings, or interviews may require desks and rooms in different proportions.
• Commercial terms: a comparable quote clarifies the number of entries, permitted use, and the rules that apply to the bundle.

How can hybrid office work be planned?

Planning starts with a 4-to-8-week calendar showing who attends, on which day, and for which activity. The sum of visits alone does not reveal the required capacity; the daily maximum does show how many desks are needed simultaneously and how many entries will be used.

In Colombia, Law 2466 of 2025 incorporated hybrid telework as a model combining work from home with presence at the employer’s premises. The law does not set a universal quota for every company: the actual policy depends on contracts and operations and may require specialized labor guidance.

• First, record expected attendance by person and day, including visitors and meeting days.
• Then, identify the simultaneous maximum and multiply realistic weekly attendance by the number of weeks in the period.
• Finally, compare the total entries with available tiers and keep room for schedule changes.

A pass bundle fits when that calculation shows variation rather than constant occupancy. If the same desks are needed every day, a dedicated desk or private office may better describe the operation. The decision becomes clearer when daily capacity, estimated entries, and terms of use are considered together. It also avoids two common extremes: booking as though everyone always attends, or falling short on the day that concentrates planning, conversations, and shared work. The key figure is not a promise of attendance, but the actual pattern of use.
