The new Office

The Miami Herald reports:
The Internet may have freed a generation from the shackles of the corporate structure, but it turns out there’s one shackle they miss: the office.

Enter the shared work space.

Already located in San Francisco, Cincinnati, New Haven, even downtown Duluth, the co-working market, with its communal, flip-flop friendly, self-consciously sleek spaces is growing in South Florida, catering to the latest crop of free agents and entrepreneurs.

Collegial in spirit and form, the spaces offer offices, desks and shared tables at a fraction of traditional office costs and with reliable WiFi. Floor plans are typically open, offices have glass walls, and lounges have a decidedly student center vibe. Instead of signing leases, tenants become members.

An interesting use of square footage. You'll want to read this one.
