The co-working and collaborative office space surge shows no sign of abating, at least not in one section of Fort Myers.
Endeavor Innovative Workspaces, a hybrid of co-work space and a traditional private leased office space facility, is a prime example. Endeavor's building, off Lee Road near Alico Road and Interstate 75, opened May 4, 2016, and recently announced plans to expand by 4,000 square feet, according to a statement. The expansion is to meet the current need, plus fill possible spots from a waiting list for more potential clients, says Endeavor CEO Bjorn Rosinus.
Endeavor's model is to sell monthly memberships for the right to use its offices and shared space where entrepreneurs and professionals can plug their laptops and collaborate with each other. Memberships start at $169 a month, and that includes internet, utilities, conference rooms and a full kitchen.
“I recognized the need from my real estate brokerage clients who were asking me for that kind of space,” Rosinus says in the statement. “The monthly membership gives entrepreneurs and high-growth businesses flexibility without constraints of long-term real estate commitments.”
Endeavor has more than 50 member companies, and Rosinus plans to add 11 additional offices in existing space next month. The second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in September, includes building an additional 16 offices, expanding the shared co-work space and creating a 50-seat auditorium. Up next? Possibly more Endeavors. Says Rosinus: “I do have my sights set on additional locations,” Rosinus hints.
