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.

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.
