PropTech 2026: The End of the Single-Use Space

In 2026, your apartment, your office, and your free time don’t need be just located near each other. They’ll work together. The technology to make this happen exists today, and you can see it in action at STAK Space in Oakland.

The most forward-thinking companies, from AI startups to venture studios, are already operating inside this connected ecosystem. They’re not waiting for the future. They’re building their businesses inside it.

 

The Framework for 2026 Is Already Active

At STAK Space at 1900 Broadway and 1950 Franklin, a typical member’s day already operates like a preview of 2026. A founder can wake up in their luxury apartment upstairs, take the elevator to a soundproof meeting room for a client pitch, host a team sync in the 39th-floor lounge overlooking the Bay, and unwind with a craft beer from the app-controlled Digital Taproom.

This seamless flow is powered by the STAK platform. It’s the single point of access for everything: booking a conference room, reserving a Tesla from the STAK GO fleet, or accessing the 6,000-square-foot fitness center. For our members in the STAK Boost accelerator or AI startups using our space, this connected environment removes daily friction so they can focus on what matters.

 

Community as Your Competitive Advantage

The true power of integrated real estate isn’t just convenience. It’s connection. The STAK platform does more than open doors. It facilitates introductions. It can connect a founder with a legal expert who works three floors down, or a fintech startup with a UX designer who uses the flex desks.

Our event spaces, like the private theater at 1920 Broadway or the 4th-floor podium deck, aren’t just venues. They’re community hubs where ideas get shared during a Sofar Sounds concert or an industry panel. This network effect, where your office actively helps you grow your network, is a tangible benefit our members experience right now.

 

Building the Blueprint, Layer by Layer

STAK Ventures is scaling this model by investing directly in the technology that makes these spaces smarter. When we partner with a PropTech company through STAK AI Labs, we deploy their solutions across our locations. Our members test new tools in real time, from smart access systems to energy management. This creates a living lab for innovation, where every upgrade makes the entire ecosystem—the Live, Work, Play, and Go layers—more responsive and valuable.

 

Join the Community Shaping Tomorrow

The transition to fully integrated real estate is already underway. STAK Space is a working model of what comes next.

We invite you to experience it. Whether you’re a freelancer booking a day pass, a scaling startup touring a private office, or an investor curious about the ecosystem model, the best way to understand 2026 is to walk through it today.
