Coworking Space Jacksonville FL

The development of Jacksonville's coworking market has been boosted by the city's pro-business environment and by the steady growth of the local freelance community, which has notable strengths in high-value sectors like sciences, technology, and biotechnology.

The origins of coworking in Jacksonville can be traced back to the early 2010s when a group of local startups with an interest in commercial real estate noticed a gap in the market. The group organized a multi-day coworking trial to gauge interest among Jacksonville entrepreneurs in having access to collaborative office space in the downtown area. The overwhelmingly positive response led to the establishment of Cowork JAX, and eventually others followed suit given the success of the coworking model.

Another important factor is the shifting landscape of the city's office market: while being a secondary office location, Jacksonville has gathered the interest of investors and has recently seen a spur of activity and sale transactions in the downtown area.

This flurry of activity is simultaneous with a wave of optimism among entrepreneurs and business owners, which in turn is coincidental with strong economic indicators that situate Jacksonville's recent and future job growth rates well above the US average. This renaissance is helping position Jacksonville as one of the most desirable office locations in northeastern Florida.

However, the city's traditional office market is far from consolidated and still shows gaps in terms of the overall quality and diversity of the office space on offer. Jacksonville's office market is dominated by logistics, finance, and insurance, which has left businesses in other sectors or with other space needs with few options. All these factors have come together favoring the ongoing growth of the coworking model.
