The Push for Short Term Office Space in Downtown Tampa

The trend is set, the model has been reconfigured. Short term office space is here to stay.

Rising in popularity as a response to the economic downturn of 2008, short term office space quickly became a go-to option for businesses and professionals trying to remain nimble in a tight market. As traditional office leases became infeasible, the need arose for office space that provided a professional footprint while allowing for flexibility to scale or focus on new markets.

Historically a favorite for creative-types, the years following the 2008 economic recession saw a rise in co-working and shared space concepts for use by more traditional professions.

Since, the idea of shared office space has spread like wildfire. Many major companies throughout the U.S. are focusing their attention on finding short term office space in lieu of traditional leases.

Many cities, including Tampa, are looking for ways to cater to this ever-expanding and in-demand market.
