"As Ybor continues to redefine itself as a hub for innovation, tech, and creative services, this collaborative co-working space serves as a much-needed anchor for companies flocking to Tampa," says Tampa Mayor Jane Castor. "The expansion of Industrious to Centro Ybor just further highlights the economic competitiveness of Ybor as one of Tampa's unique business districts. I cannot wait to tell the story of all of the innovators that will call Industrious Centro Ybor home."

In order to turn the movie theater space into a productive workplace environment, Industrious will insert window openings throughout, among other things. Industrious notes it has had previous success converting non-traditional locations into office space; earlier this year opening a location at a former Barneys New York at the Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale, AZ.

New York City-based Industrious currently has 90 locations across more than 45 U.S. cities.
