Workbox Expands Eastward, Bringing Innovative Workspace Solutions to Downtown Pittsburgh
Member-driven coworking company to open 11th U.S. location in iconic One PPG Place Tower
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Workbox, a national workspace operator dedicated to providing solutions and resources to growing businesses, will open its doors on the 31st floor of One PPG Place in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. Workbox Pittsburgh – PPG Place offers local entrepreneurs and businesses the opportunity to be a part of an unparalleled coworking community of dynamic companies. In addition to flexible workspace solutions, member benefits include direct connection to over 100 capital and operating partners, programming and networking events, as well as connection to its wider member community and affiliates such as Workbox Ventures.
The new location, which is expected to open in January 2025, will be the company's first in Pennsylvania and 11th location nationwide. Workbox Pittsburgh – PPG Place is located directly downtown and adjacent to historic Market Square, at One PPG Place, Suite 3100.
"We are incredibly excited to be opening our first location in Pittsburgh, at one of the most iconic locations in the city – PPG Plaza. Workbox offers world-class workspace accommodations, but what makes our space unique to other coworking operators is our focus on member connectivity. Pittsburgh has built a dynamic professional services industry over the last few decades, and we believe the recipe for this success has been its highly collaborative business community. This is what makes Pittsburgh so special and is the reason we are so excited about adding a Downtown Pittsburgh location," said John Wallace, CEO and Co-Founder of Workbox.
At over 23,000 square feet, Workbox Pittsburgh – PPG Place offers sweeping views of the city and surrounding areas. Members can enjoy an entire floor of workspace, lounges, conference rooms, an open kitchen, and offices for teams ranging from 1 to 16 individuals. Additional member benefits include a tenant-only fitness center, as well as a complimentary shuttle service within the surrounding neighborhood.
"Securing a full-floor lease for Workbox at One PPG Place is a testament to the building's reputation as a premier business address in Pittsburgh's Central Business District (CBD)," said Tripp Merchant, Senior Vice President, Americas at JLL. "This transaction highlights the growing demand for flexible workspaces in prime locations, and we're excited to see Workbox bring their dynamic co-working model to this premier, high-rise floor. We view their presence as an added amenity in the complex, and it will undoubtedly contribute to the vibrancy of One PPG Place and the continued revitalization of the CBD. It's a win for the building, the district, and the business community as a whole."
According the JLL's Q3 2024 Pittsburgh Office Market Dynamics Report, Pittsburgh's office market is showing recovery signs with declining office vacancies. Businesses are implementing long-term workplace strategies prioritizing collaboration space to enhance engagement and culture, which supports this trend and Workbox's decision to move to Pittsburgh's CBD.
Workbox is offering a variety of leasing specials, including 3 months free on any 12-month lease, among other options. There are also floating membership and reserved desk options for those looking for individual plans.
