Orchard sprouts downtown
As traditional office leases are decreasing in size and duration, hybrid work and co-work spaces are picking up some of the slack. Thus, JLL is expanding its Orchard Workspace by JLL platform, it recently announced. That expansion, marking its second location in the U.S. after Brooklyn, recently opened with 35,000 square feet on two floors at Westlake Tower, at 1601 Fifth Ave., overlooking the monorail. Jacob Bates, the head of Flex by JLL, said in a statement, “We are excited to activate the Seattle location and add the space to JLL’s growing network of flex locations around the world. With hybrid work, flex is becoming a significant part of employers’ flexible work strategies, and our new Seattle location serves to effectively implement these plans.”
