I was in search of an office space for my growing sales force. To be frank, I never considered…read moreco-working space. I had such a bad experience in NYC (different company). Somehow an ad for serendipity labs populated on my social media account. I quickly booked a tour and the rest is history. The office is well kept and is extremely beautiful. However, the staff is what makes this location GREAT. Sid, Karen, Justina and Kyle are by far the most friendly, welcoming, and accommodating staff! They take care of every single tenant and know us all by name. The office is located in the heart of downtown Orlando, with probably the best views of the city. We opted to lease two rooms, 12 dedicated desk(modern cubicles). There are a number of "Focus" rooms, for private phone calls, and they are amazingly decorated and cozy. They also have a ton of events to show their appreciation ! Such as lunch specials, wine down Wednesday's, happy hour on Friday's, etc. All and all I would recommend serendipity to any and everyone! Not only is this location amazing but you'll have access to all of the other locations across the nation!

It is so much more than just a "space" it is a place where your passions and ideas can come to fruition. This has been the perfect place for my business to transition from a hobby to a growing business in less than 2 years, without the huge financial risk of owning a brick and mortar. They offer so many business services from marketing assistance to business connections. Located in the growing Horizon West area if you already have a small business or always wanted to, check this place out.

My favorite hidden gem. I honestly didn't even know this place existed until a couple months ago…read more Ever since I have slowly worked on taking all of the orientations at the Fab Lab so I can use all of their machines. From 3D printing to laser cutting they have a little bit of everything if you are a crafter. The instructors are there to help you and guide you through understanding all the library has to offer. Everyone there has been so incredibly nice and helpful I always learn so much when I visit. Definitely grateful to have something like this offer to Orange county residents. It does take a little bit of time to take all of the orientations and then take the assessments to use the machines but it's well worth it. They do have time limits on the machines but You're able to get quite a few projects done in a day. (Granted I've done 3D prints that have taken over 5 hours) So be prepared to potentially spend a lot of time here depending on what you're doing. If you're an Orange county resident I do recommend checking this place out. Even if you're not that crafty They offer other services that can help build your business or add to your hobbies.

Wow- This is seriously one of the coolest places in town!…read more For what? Well, the Melrose Center (MC) houses audio, visual, photo, simulation, 3D printing, tech work spaces, and so much more. I took a tour today of the center after having heard tons of buzz (and being a bit embarrassed to say that I hadn't visited it yet. I looked online and realized that they hold orientations and tours daily- and today they were at 2pm. I was right on time (parked right across the street in the lot on Central) and met Ben at the desk. We started with one of the classroom spaces that has some great simulation gear, but he then led me to the Simulation Lab, a room with crazy-cool driving, flight, and construction vehicle simulators! We're talking multi-screen seating with all of the controls you'd use in those real machines. VERY good start! We walked over to a section of the MC, called Tech Central, which was set up with presentation seating. They have a drop down screen and projector connected to an iPad for this area and they don't charge you to use it and hold meetings (you have to schedule it ahead of time though). I was geeking out hard core when we went by the various workspaces around the center. It's mostly open-plan with movable desks and spaces that you can adjust as your group needs. They had brand new MacPros with dual screens that anyone can use (with all of the Adobe and creative suites you can think of). Then came the real crazy stuff. An audio production studio; video production studio; sound boxes for recording podcasts, voice overs, your pretty voice, etc; photo studio with light boxes for photographing products; editing bays; conference room; etc. HOLY FREAKING MOLEY. The photo studio and Sound Booths can be reserved for FREE for 2 hours a day, any 3 days a week and the audio and video studios can be booked for 4 hours a day, 3 days a week. That means that we all have full access to professional studios and equipment for between 6 and 12 hours a week for free. I'm kind of freaking out right now, guys. If you have some time, take a walk over to the Melrose Center and check out the space. You will likely see me as I will be working from there at least twice a week from now on! ~sigh~ Places like this remind me why I love this city!!

Having worked here (many moons ago), I was already familiar with the interior and the convenient Finnhenry's restaurant on the first floor. Access is much more secure now with card fobs required for entry. They've also just installed a new call box system as of this post. Virtual and in-person tours are easy to schedule online for potential clients. I signed up very quickly, easily, and happily. Amenities include high-speed internet, printing services, and even free coffee. There's plenty of workspace and although I chose to go the office share route, I've had the office largely to myself so far. Plenty of good restaurants are in the area and you are walking distance from the public library, Lake Eola, and Publix. Kelsey and the Novel team (so helpful) also arrange for community events like lunch bites when possible. Just WOW!

They are really great when they want to sign you up…read more At the time of our first renewal they wanted a 67% rent increase. Yup. You read that right 67%... not 6.7%... a full 2/3 rent increase! If you get a quote from them, multiply it by 1.67. That could be your rent next year. Presumably they know it's annoying to move a business so I guess they take advantage of that by offering a fair rate for a year then then holding your business address hostage for a 67% rent increase after the first term. A/C turned off during business hours without advance notice. Water turned off during business hours without advance notice. Parking situation is a total turnoff for potential and current clients. Fire alarm "tested" during business hours with little or no notice. People prop open the back door all the time to smoke and it stinks. Many better options that won't try to bait and switch you into a 67% rent increase.

Still 5 stars, but with a different host (as of a few years ago), changing venue, and lots more!…read more Most of what I said in my previous review about Nerd Nite remains the same, but the hosting is now done with finesse by Ricardo Williams. And bonus- he sometimes dons his full Spider Man get-up! Ricardo has been hosting for a few years and he brings a new energy into the event as well as a focus on highlighting women and POC in an event that often features a ton of white guys. Another change is that the venue rotates. Sometimes it's at The Geek Easy, sometimes Purple Rock Scissors' offices in the Plaza building downtown. Either location, it's always a blast and the feel is casual and encouraging. Three speakers get to present and there's Q&A after each presentation. The folks in the room are from all different sectors in Orlando, but what they share in common is a love for Orlando and it's cool citizens. Finally, you'll see Nerd Nite Orlando recognized all over including, including presentations for an event at Orlando Science Center, and Comicon!! Support folks supporting our awesome city!

Thinking and drinking, what else can I say? Plenty actually…read more Nerd nite Orlando is the local chapter of nerd nite and it occurs the second Thursday of the month, every month. The concept is simple, there's three speakers that get about 20 minutes each to talk about a nerdy topic they're passionate about, even if they're not experts or scholars. Of course, there's drinking happening, and a very laid back and fun atmosphere where usually one can learn something, or at least get a good laugh. This is probably my favorite FREE event in town. Yes, it's free! They take donations, but you just have to show up and listen, but why wouldn't you grab a drink? The event moves around town, so keep an eye on their facebook page or sign up for the newsletter to know where they'll be, or if they have any special happenings for the month.

The staff is incredibly friendly. I love the location, too! Piazza Grande has plenty of other businesses in the area and it feel like you're in a completely different place in Orlando. Back to the office space. They have offices that accommodate 4 people, a conference room, and a large room for presentations. They are usually open 9-5 but are available after hours with the right arrangement. They also have individual work desks if you need just a space to concentrate. They also offer WiFi, a small kitchen, and there are lots of parking outside.
