Tampa embraces nontraditional office spaces with low prices

The presence of office landlord company Regus helps makes Tampa one of the most affordable coworking spaces in the country, according to a new report. 

In a study from CoworkingCafe that compared 82 metropolitan statistical areas, Tampa tied with 13 other MSAs for most affordable coworking spaces. The city, according to the report, has a median price of $93 for a monthly open workspace subscription, defined as a flexible space with unassigned desks. CoworkingCafe is a subsidiary of real estate management software firm Yardi. 

Balazs Szekely, writer of the CoworkingCafe study, attributes this mostly to Regus’ subscription model, which provides access for the same fee for all locations in the company’s portfolio.
