Fortavo Spaces · For landlords, property managers and building owners

We help landlords and property managers fill their space.

Coworking floors, flex offices and commercial units, filled without adding to your plate. We've run flexible space in Houston for over a decade. Our team sets up Fortavo and runs your marketing, Colin, our AI receptionist, answers every call, and you get a report every month, ready to forward if you answer to an owner.

Built for
A two-story suburban office buildingA bright coworking floor with round tables and big windowsA neighborhood retail strip center with a unit for lease
What it replaces

A leasing agent, an answering service and a spreadsheet for the owner.

Most buildings weren't set up to sell coworking memberships or a handful of flex suites, and your team already has a full job. So space sits empty, prospect calls go to voicemail after hours, and every month someone pulls the numbers together by hand.

Who we help

Big building or small, we’ve got you.

Coliving

A coworking floor in a residential or coliving building

Residents get a place to work and outside members fill the rest. Fortavo sells the memberships online, Colin books the tours and billing runs itself, so your leasing team doesn't have to learn coworking.

Office

Flex suites or a business center in an office building

Small offices by the month, day offices and meeting rooms booked online. Every inquiry answered, even after hours.

Small

A small office building or retail center

A handful of units with rent collected on time, leases signed online and vacancies in front of local businesses.

Proof, not promises

We run rented space for a living. WorkLodge went live on Fortavo in March. Since then it has set a tour-volume record in five of seven months, and the other two missed by just a couple of tours.

“I’ve run WorkLodge, Houston’s oldest coworking space, for 11 years. We built Fortavo because we couldn’t find one system that ran our space and filled it, so we built it for ourselves first. Every feature on this page is something our own team uses every day.”

What is a missed prospect call really costing you?

Someone looking for space calls a few places. Whoever answers and shows them around first usually signs them. Pick your type of space and put in your own numbers.

Tenants lost1.1every month · $433/mo in rent
Lifetime revenue lost$5,200for every month it keeps happening

About 3 extra tenants covers Fortavo Spaces. Win back the inquiries you're missing and you're there in about 3 months. Colin answers every call in seconds, day or night, and books the tour on your calendar.

How we calculate

Missed inquiries a week × 4.33 weeks × the share that sign × average rent a month × months they stay. The starting numbers are typical examples; change them to your own. Spaces Operations starts from $999 a month per location.

That adds up fast. Let's get every call answered and every tour booked.

Switching over

We move you. You keep running.

Step 01

A 20-minute call

We look at your building, what's empty and where prospects are slipping away.

Step 02

We set it up

Tenants, members, leases and rent move over with hands-on help. Your website, ads and Colin get set up alongside.

Step 03

Launch, then grow

A six-month launch period while we build and tune everything, then month to month. We stay with you after that.

Flat, honest pricing

No member limits. No nickel-and-diming.

Most platforms charge per member or by member band (100, 150, 200…), so your software bill grows every time you grow. We don't. No per-member fees, no cut of your revenue, no surprise add-ons. One monthly price per location.

Questions

What owners ask us.

Does this work for a coworking floor in a residential or coliving building?

Yes. That's coworking, and we've run coworking for over a decade. Fortavo runs the coworking floor, flex offices or commercial units: memberships, booking, billing and every call. It doesn't handle apartment leasing itself.

Will you run the space day to day for us?

We don't run your space. We run Fortavo: the platform, your marketing and Colin. If you want it fully managed, our partner program has WorkLodge, Houston's oldest coworking company, run the space day to day for a management fee, so you own it and keep the upside. Ask us on a call.

I own the building. Is this for me too?

Yes. Whether you own one small building or manage several for an owner, Fortavo collects the rent, Colin answers every call and our marketing brings in tenants, so it doesn't land on your plate.

We manage the building for an owner. Can they see the results?

Yes. You get a report every month with the calls, tours and signed agreements, and where each one came from, ready to forward. On the full bundle, Spaces with Growth, we also have a 30-minute call with you every month.

Do you work with small buildings too?

Yes, from a small retail center to a multi-floor building. Pricing is per location and set by square footage, from $999 a month under 10,000 sq ft. The price calculator on this page works out your total.

Do I still need a broker?

Many buildings keep one for big leases. Fortavo makes sure every prospect who finds you on their own gets answered and shown the space fast.

Do you charge per member or take a cut of revenue?

No. There's no limit on members and no per-member fees or member bands, so your bill doesn't grow every time you sign someone. No percentage of your revenue and no nickel-and-dime add-ons either: one monthly price per location.

Is there a long contract?

There's a six-month launch period while we build and tune everything. After that it's month to month.

Who pays for the ads themselves?

You pay Google and Meta directly for ad spend. We manage the campaigns and never take a percentage of what you spend.

Who's behind Fortavo?

The team behind WorkLodge, Houston's oldest coworking space, which has run flexible space for over a decade. We built Fortavo to run our own space first. You run your space; we run Fortavo and stay with you after launch: we run your marketing, send you a report every month and, on the full bundle, sit down with you for 30 minutes every month. We know what it takes to keep tenants and members happy and buildings full.

What should I ask other platforms before I sign?

Ask whether they take a percentage of your revenue, including revenue you don't process through them, and whether the price goes up as you add members. Get it in writing. With Fortavo the answer to both is no: one monthly price per location, no cut of your revenue and no limit on members.

Want it fully managed? Through our partner program, WorkLodge, Houston's oldest coworking company, runs your space day to day for a management fee. You own it and keep the upside.
