Cool concept I heard of today for first time: bank branches as third place coworking spaces. Makes absolutely no sense as a daily coworking space but might be a good loss leader for the bank. The real estate is widely distributed and very underused 90% of time.

And it makes no earthly sense from a square footage allocation perspective; it’s two floors of prime retail real estate on State Street in Chicago. But if they get enough young professionals to bank here... I could see it, maybe? Crickey you’d need a lot, though.

I think if you compare it with other banks it makes more sense. Huge, hollow spaces in prime retail space. At least these are comfortable and useful. And they serve the same function: saying, "We have so much money we are a safe place to put your own money."
