Office Evolution Brings Office Space, Coworking and Shared Spaces to the Atlanta Suburbs

The Atlanta metropolitan area is home to 5.6 million, making it the 9th largest in the United States, and the area has been growing in population since 2000 according to the US Census Bureau. With a climbing population that continues to spread throughout the surrounding suburbs comes new businesses, existing businesses moving to the area and in turn, an influx of professionals looking for space to work in the area. This is why Alpharetta, Georgia is the perfect place for one of Office Evolution’s newest locations.

“Atlanta has a plethora of new businesses coming to town, and it’s quickly growing. There are a lot of people looking for offices and spaces to work, which is why we have the perfect space to accommodate that demand,” said Andy Bean, Office Evolution Area Director in Atlanta.

Besides an increasing population and workforce, the coworking industry is heating up across the nation, and Atlanta is leading the South East by a wide margin. The region is the fifth largest coworking market in the United States, only behind Manhattan, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.

“Atlanta is one of the hottest markets with respect to coworking, and all of the major brands like WeWork and Industrious are battling for space. Coworking has been a very big portion of the spaces that have been leased in the past 18 months, and Office Evolution is reaching out to a new segment of the workforce,” said Trey Dove, Senior Associate at Cushman & Wakefield, the preferred broker of Office Evolution.

The new segment was an important factor in Office Evolution’s decision to open a location outside of the city itself. The brand signed a lease for a space in Alpharetta right across from Avalon, an 86-acre development with more than 500,000 square feet of retail, a 12-screen all-premium theater and a full-service hotel among other attractions. This hub creates the perfect escape or after-work destination for businesses that want to be near restaurants and retail.

Avalon serves as a destination for business meetings, lunches and enjoying life outside of work, just across the street from Office Evolution’s office and coworking space.

“Our business model focuses on suburban areas due to our main customers and their demographics. Eventually we will be targeting inner city. Atlanta is one giant suburb, and when you go outside of the city perimeter, there are 5 million people within ten miles. The Atlanta commute is difficult and having Office Evolution locations in the suburbs lets people work closer to home, which we are finding that a lot of people are looking for now,” said Bean.

Various options are offered to Office Evolution members who may be looking for month-to-month private offices, micro offices, conference rooms or even just a dedicated desk. Office Evolution’s spaces are different from other coworking companies that don’t give workers much privacy. The Office Evolution concept includes brightly lit spaces with a modern feel while still allowing privacy for its members.

But Office Evolution aims to offer more than space. Business services, including phone answering, a business mailing address, access to a printer, copier and scanner, as well as Starbucks brand coffee and beverages for guests, can all be included to help support your small business and in turn, the local community.

Office Evolution has also proven an effective solution to help small businesses grow quickly. As rental prices increase, small businesses are looking for affordable options to help scale their business and save money in any way they can.

“Rental rates have increased by double digits in some markets year over year. It has been a landlord’s market, which has hurt a lot of tenants that could, in the past, rent space over longer terms. Office Evolution gives members the ability to put less of their capital in their office space and get more flexibility in their lease terms that landlords aren’t providing anymore.” said Dove.

Whether you are a solo business professional looking to connect with others outside of your home or you are a cost-conscious small business owner, Office Evolution has the options you need. Learn more about Office Evolution in Alpharette here:
