Miamishared.com Brings Office Space Twist to Downtown Miami
Published September 7th, 2010 by Jennifer LeClaire
In a Downtown Miami office market that’s been flooded with space this year, a new entrant is betting its twist shared working environments will drive occupancies.
MiamiShared.com is targeting entrepreneurs and small businesses that want to work in Downtown Miami without the traditional office space expenses. The company leased an entire floor of office space to launch its concept, which includes the services and amenities a traditional office space offers in a sterling Downtown Miami location at 990 Biscayne Blvd. across from the American Airlines Arena.
The twist comes in the culture. Rather than suits and ties sitting in private office space, MiamiShared.com sets the stage for its tenants to interact with each other and the local community. Beyond adding the dot-com to its corporate moniker, MiamiShared.com promotes community by allowing local artists to showcase their works, inviting companies to host parties for new product launches, and holding recruiting events where companies can find interns from local universities.
Much like the coworking concept made famous in San Francisco, MiamiShared.com CEO Alexander Daskaloff is betting there’s plenty of Miami entrepreneurs that are weary of the isolation of working from home, yet looking for a place that isn’t characterized by the constant interruptions of a Starbucks. You might call it a social officing experience.
Daskaloff believes “that co-working surroundings allows members to share not only resources and ideas, but to also be a part of a growing work culture that benefits everyone at the end of the day.” MiamiShared.com is trying to blend the best of home officing with the best of traditional office space to yield a new culture of productive thinking in Downtown Miami. It’s coworking Miami style.
MiamiShared.com offers several different coworking layouts and workstations. Tenants get high-speed Internet and Wi-Fi, a conference room with 60-inch screen, company logo placement, 24-hour front desk security and free valet parking. Optional services vary from private assigned parking spaces, computer leasing with dual monitors, Web programming and editorial content service, as well as personal assistant based services.
I might visit MiamiShared.com next time I’m downtown. Sounds like a winning use in the middle of an office space glut that’s plaguing downtown office space brokers.

I don’t think coworking has taken off in Florida like it has in other places. Maybe that’s because the real estate market is just so bad that people are barely saving their homes, much less renting cowokring space. I know coworking space is very affordable, but still. I would expect South Florida, especially, to otherwise be a leader of this office space trend, much like New York, LA, or San Francisco.

From New York to Miami to SoCal to Vegas. I have been looking at your recent coverage. The trend seems to be toward the hot cities getting hotter in terms of serviced office space and coworking. And considering that you write every day, it’s a testimony to how active the serviced office industry really is in the U.S. and Canada.
