John Arenas sees a real-estate solution and bridge between home and corporate offices for the new breed of worker in his Serendipity Labs Inc. For example, in Rye, Arenas is converting a former Chrysler-Jeep dealership into a 7,000-square-foot members-only workplace. In Manhattan, the company will soon close on a lease for its second center within one-half block of Grand Central Terminal. Arenas told the Westchester Business Journal, this change in workplace environment is because 30% of the nation’s knowledge workers are no longer tied to the corporate workplace. These people now choose where they work and how they collaborate.
