The lease, totaling 12,783 sf, adds a new dimension to the marketplace for new and existing tenants at 515 N. Flagler Dr. and elsewhere, providing alternative workplaces with hospitality-style services for businesses' overflow needs, entrepreneurs, startups and virtual offices.

"This will be the best value in downtown West Palm Beach. Offering the freedom to work the way you want," says Laura Kozelouzek, founder and CEO of New York-based Quest Workspaces. Preleasing is underway for the Sept. 1 launch.

Quest Workspaces prides itself on creating a turnkey office environment with high-end hospitality-style services and the resources of large corporate office.  The company's centers attract clients from startups to Fortune 100 companies.

At Northbridge Centre, Quest Workspaces' offices will range from 80 sf to 250 sf, with flexible lease terms and full-service business offerings from IT to concierge.

 The signature amenity at every location is Quest Café, a coffee bar-atmosphere for networking, socializing and breaks from the workday, enabling a co-working environment and dynamic office community.

Kozelouzek's early career in the hospitality industry and years of experience as a business center executive set the stage for her first venture into the executive center business, Synergy Workspaces, which was sold in 2007 to Carr Workspaces after she grew it to 25 locations and more than 500,000 sf in just a few years.

 In 2010, she launched Quest Workspaces, starting in Boca Raton and expanding to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Gables, downtown Manhattan and now West Palm Beach.

"We feel it will add a lot of new excitement for the project," says Kirk Fetter, vice president of leasing for Dallas-based Gaedeke Group. "Quest Workspaces had looked at the space about two years ago and came back to us when they were ready to expand again."

Quest Workspaces has leased the third floor of the four-story pavilion, with expansion rights for additional floors in the just-signed deal. Lance Benson, executive managing director in Miami for Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, represented Quest Workspaces, a member of the Alliance Business Centers network.

The dealmakers were the 288,233-sf Northbridge Centre's class A packaging of amenities, water views, neighboring Palm Beach Judicial Center and short walk to more than 80 restaurants and shops in the central business district. 

Adding to the property's appeal, Northbridge Centre also sports an on-site bank, salon, valet, 24/7 security and parking garage.

"We really focus on amenities at our centers," Kozelouzek says. She's already struck a deal for Quest Workspaces' clients to receive a VIP discount on monthly rates at Northbridge Centre's Palm Beach Waterfront Fitness Club, just like the prestigious property's other tenants.

" She's also eyeing use of the pavilion's landscaped rooftop terrace for executive center functions.

"We build relationships throughout the entire community, including the building and other tenants in the building," Kozelouzek says. "The reason I love this industry so much is because I get to help so many businesses."

Gaedeke Group is a services-driven landlord unto itself, actively engaging its tenants, brokerage firms, the community at large and non-profit organizations by hosting and sponsoring a full calendar of events and fundraisers in markets where it has properties.

 "There is going to be a lot of synergy between us," Kozelouzek says, citing a special program her company offers to help meet space needs of charitable organizations.
