Stop building and use what already exists: A conversation with Sora co-founder Romain Allouch

🤔 What happens when supply and demand intersects with real estate and carbon footprint reduction? Let’s find out!

6 years ago, Romain Allouch was Head of Real Estate at WeWork, one of the leaders in co-working. Through his work in this field, Romain was struck by an alarming statistic in commercial real estate …

👉 The estimated vacancy rate for office space in Europe is 50%. This means that one out of every two workstations is unused in a space that is fitted out, heated and ready for use, but empty.

This prompted Romain to co-found Sora, becoming the first platform to select and operate the top 10% of unoccupied offices in the heart of Paris.

âś… Founded in 2023, Sora has already:
600 unoccupied workstations for rent, equivalent to €3.2M ready to be made profitable
A range of services tailored to the needs of each company
A recent €4M fundraising campaign 💸

If Romain has one message, it’s this: “Stop building and use what already exists!”

🎙️ In this episode of Build da City. For. Good., you will hear an insightful and inspiring conversation between our guest Romain Allouch and our super daphni co-hosts, Marie and Sophie.
