Office Evolution Westlake Village has officially relocated to a newly designed 10,000-square-foot workspace, marking a significant expansion from its previous 7,100-square-foot location. The move responds to sustained demand from local entrepreneurs, small businesses, enterprises, and remote professionals, with the new space nearly doubling capacity to include 39 fully furnished private offices. Co-owners Tom Warekois and Ashlynne Balikian, both local residents, formalized their partnership structure with this relocation, positioning the business for continued growth.
The expansion represents a strategic evolution for the business, which Warekois opened in 2015 as the franchise system's 24th location. Balikian joined as Director of Operations in 2021 and played a central role in the center's operational growth, with the previous location maintaining a consistent waiting list that ultimately led to the decision to expand. Of the 39 private offices available, 31 were leased prior to opening, indicating strong market demand for flexible workspace solutions in the Westlake Village area.
Balikian led the design and layout of the new space, overseeing the transformation from initial floor plan through construction to create a modern, hospitality-forward environment. "This space reflects how our members actually work and grow," said Balikian. "From the layout to the finishes, every decision was intentional. We wanted to create an environment that feels elevated yet approachable – a place where businesses can thrive. This expansion isn't just about adding offices; it's about refining the experience and scaling what we've built."
The new facility includes two meeting rooms, day offices available by the hour or day, coworking space, virtual office services, and thoughtfully designed coworking and lounge areas. Members can use these spaces to work, connect with other professionals, take breaks, or host events with clients and guests. The building also offers access to a private outdoor courtyard and complimentary parking, enhancing the overall member experience.

Formalizing our co-ownership reflects the partnership that has already been driving the business forward."
