Workbox Opens New Coworking Space in Iconic One PPG Place in Downtown Pittsburgh

Workbox Expands Eastward to Pittsburgh

In an exciting development for Pittsburgh's business community, Workbox, a well-known national coworking operator, is set to establish its first Pennsylvania location at the prestigious One PPG Place. This will mark the company's 11th location nationwide, with an expected opening in January 2025.

Located on the 31st floor, Workbox Pittsburgh is designed to foster collaboration and connectivity among local entrepreneurs and businesses. This new coworking space will feature over 23,000 square feet of customizable office space, including lounges, conference rooms, and private offices catering to teams of varying sizes. Members will also benefit from amenities such as a tenant-only fitness center and a complimentary shuttle service within the neighborhood.

“A significant part of our mission at Workbox is to create an environment that is conducive to networking and professional growth, and Pittsburgh embodies that spirit beautifully,” shared John Wallace, the co-founder and CEO of Workbox. “The city's rich tapestry of businesses and innovators makes it an ideal location for us to provide our unique coworking model.”

The focus of Workbox extends beyond just providing office space. The company emphasizes member connectivity, offering access to over 100 capital and operating partners along with various programming and networking opportunities. This is particularly crucial for startups and growing enterprises looking to expand their reach within the community and beyond. By joining Workbox, members are not only securing a workspace but are also stepping into an ecosystem that encourages collaboration.

Tripp Merchant, Senior Vice President at JLL, also highlighted the significance of this expansion: “By securing a full-floor lease at One PPG Place, Workbox is enhancing the building's reputation as a leading business address. Their presence will undoubtedly add to the vibrancy of the central business district and support the ongoing revitalization efforts in Pittsburgh.”

According to the recent JLL's Pittsburgh Office Market Dynamics Report, the city's office market is showing signs of recovery, with a decrease in available spaces. “Businesses are increasingly focusing on creating collaborative environments, and flexible workspaces are becoming an integral part of this strategy. Workbox’s entry into Pittsburgh aligns perfectly with this trend,” said Merchant.

Workbox is launching a competitive leasing offer, including three months free for any 12-month lease, as well as flexible membership options to cater to individual needs. This strategy aims to attract diverse professionals, from freelancers seeking a dedicated space to established companies looking for collaborative environments.

As more workplaces adapt to new normal after the pandemic, the introduction of Workbox in downtown Pittsburgh is a promising sign of economic recovery and a shift towards more flexible working arrangements. It reflects a broader transformation in how we view and utilize workspace, making this opening an event to watch for local professionals and businesses alike. Whether you're a start-up looking for community or an established business seeking a fresh environment, Workbox is ready to welcome you.
