Airplacer is an idea borne out of preventing waste – use what you have. An article from ABC News issued during the week suggests that empty commercial spaces could be the answer to Sydney's housing crisis. At Airplacer, we consider a multitude of different functions for space that all provide a greener, smarter alternative to unutilised property. What do you think? 💭

A recent discussion at Airplacer HQ got us thinking about not only vacant spaces, but under utilised spaces. During her weekend away, D'Arcy couldn't help but notice that restaurants, function spaces and some retail spaces were only open from Friday to Sunday. From grand spaces to intimate spaces, specialised spaces to multipurpose spaces - all sitting empty for the better part of a week. Dealing with downtime in your space? Let us help you increase usage, reduce waste and maximise return with Airplacer.

We hear you! The stats are in - Sydney's office vacancy rates are the highest they have been since the mid 1990s, with similar trends echoed nationwide. Despite this, the number of small to medium businesses is on the rise despite economic challenges. These businesses, often started in home offices or around kitchen tables, need space to embark on their journey, to grow and to inspire. Share your space and become part of the story.
