WeWork Office Space & Coworking

WeWork’s downtown location is convenient, modern, and clean, but the overall experience didn’t justify the price for me. I’m a software developer, but my setup is pretty simple. The space is clean and modern. During business hours it feels professional, the city views are great, and you’ll often meet interesting people. Biggest downside: parking. There’s no free parking within a reasonable walking distance, and finding a spot near the building feels unrealistic unless you already have a monthly arrangement. The options I found were about $65/month, which adds up fast on top of a ~$200 membership. Safety and access are also concerns. Relying on buses means dealing with uncomfortable situations at times, and walking in the area late can feel risky. I also ran into a recurring issue where

The Tampa office is amazing. From Carolina and her staff all the way down to the cleaning crew and especially the maintenance person Kevin. He takes care of everyone in there as soon as something is needed. Well done WeWork Tampa!!!

When moving to Tampa, I was deciding between a bigger apartment or a coworking space, after touring WeWork in Downtown Tampa I decided to give it a go and I’m really glad I did. The community-driven environment has been a game-changer. The friendly community team, the inspiring 14th-floor coworking space, and the impeccable cleanliness have made my workday experience of running a small marketing, automation agency (Slaterock Automation), significantly more productive and enjoyable. I've had the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, collaborate on exciting projects, and even find potential business partners. It's been a great decision to join the WeWork community and I would highly recommend it for anyone in the same position!

I reached out to learn more about the office and take a tour. Rosa completely stopped responding to me. They will only offer you a tour at 2pm on Wednesdays. I let her know that I had a standing leadership meeting at 2pm on Wednesdays but I can make any other time work. No response. I tried reaching out again a few weeks later. Again Rosa said she will only give me a tour at the time I told her I cannot do, and again stopped responding. Anyways, I signed up for an industrious membership! They have 3 locations in Tampa and one in St Pete and it’s easy to sign up for a tour on any weekday. Very friendly staff too, I highly recommend.

I was hesitant to check it out initially because I’m a huge introvert and I get anxious driving downtown. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of public parking within walking distance, and the space ended up being really chill. Super nice staff, incredibly chill people, clean space - I will 1,000% be visiting at least once a week moving forward. I didn’t realize how much I missed working outside of my house. This place is the change I needed.
