Enterprise Spotlight: How Acme Corp Replaced Their Office Lease with Focus Cube
A 200-person startup ditched their expensive lease and switched to on-demand pods. The results surprised everyone.
When Acme Corp's office lease came up for renewal in mid-2025, their CFO did the math: $2.4 million per year for 15,000 square feet that was half-empty most days. With 60% of their 200-person team working remotely, it didn't add up.
Instead of renewing, they partnered with Focus Cube to provide on-demand workspaces for their distributed team. Every employee received a Platinum pass with unlimited pod access across all Focus Cube locations.
The results after six months: Acme saved 65% on their real estate costs while employee satisfaction scores rose by 22 points. Workers appreciated the flexibility to book a pod near home rather than commuting to a central office.
"We thought we'd lose collaboration," said Jordan Hayes, VP of People at Acme Corp. "But the opposite happened. Teams now book adjacent pods for focused sprints and use video calls for everything else. The quality of deep work has gone through the roof."
Acme's team management dashboard — available on the Platinum plan — lets managers see pod utilization across the company, set booking budgets per team, and track workspace spending in real time. It's become a core part of their operations.
