Yoshiaki Sasaki, a key figure at Stasia Capital Texas LLC, is responsible for asset management for his foreign real estate investor clients.
His work demands precision, especially when analyzing data and communicating with clients across the United States and Japan. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yoshi found himself in need of a quiet, professional space to focus and conduct business.
When a Comerica CoWorkSpaces™ location opened up five minutes from his house, Yoshi took advantage of the service. Comerica CoWorkSpaces is currently only available in select banking centers in the Dallas area.
Finding the perfect workspace solution
Yoshiaki's journey to Comerica CoWorkSpaces began with a challenge: find a quiet place to work away from the distractions of home life.
“Sometimes I find it very hard to concentrate,” Yoshiaki told the Comerica team. He mentioned the everyday challenges of working from home, including barking dogs, vacuum cleaners, neighborhood noise and said, “I really wanted a quiet place where I can focus.”
As a long-term Comerica customer, Yoshi received an update about Comerica’s new offering for small business customers – free co-working space. As Comerica CoWorkSpaces opened up throughout Dallas, Yoshiaki kept an eye out for a location close to his home. His patience paid off when a new CoWorkSpaces opened just five minutes away.
He was the first person to use the new Plano location.
Enjoying the ideal environment for focused work
On his first visit to the Plano location, Yoshi found the space his business was missing. It offered the private offices and meeting rooms he needed. “That was an optimal work environment for me because I need to focus on the data.”
Yoshiaki also appreciated the warm nature of the Comerica staff. Walking into the branch, he was welcomed and shown everything CoWorkSpaces has to offer.
“The branch people are very helpful. They show me how to connect to the PC display and make use of the printers, where the coffee machine is, and where the water and the bathroom are. They’re very friendly and helpful.”
Taking advantage of flexible, affordable access
Yoshiaki works with Japanese clients making investments in the United States market. So, his hours shift regularly between time zones.
For Yoshiaki, the availability of Comerica CoWorkSpaces is an advantage. Not only can he enjoy quiet space for data analysis, but Yoshiaki can also schedule office space within minutes. “In the morning, I wake up and open the site. I make a few clicks, and it’s that easy to make a reservation.”
Making a strong endorsement for small business owners
For Yoshiaki Sasaki and Stasia Capital Texas, Comerica CoWorkSpaces has provided an ideal solution for professional needs. It offers the perfect blend of quiet, privacy, and convenience, enabling Yoshiaki to focus on his work and drive success in real estate investment management.
Yoshiaki became a Comerica customer because of the support the bank provides and the simplicity of using its services. “Comerica Bank is flexible with foreign account holders – easy to open a new account and maintain. Comerica also has flexible fee structures for many small business owners,” Yoshiaki explained.
Reflecting on his experience, Yoshiaki had this to say, “I would recommend Comerica Bank for small business owners.”
