With a 98% occupancy rate across its three executive office spaces along Naples’ prestigious Fifth Avenue South, it was time for Hoffman Executive Suites to grow again. When we spoke with Hoffman’s president, Madelene Columbus, she was putting the finishing touches on the company’s fourth space that opened in April above Sails Restaurant. The new space has an additional 14 offices and a conference room. “We added our fourth address and have already rented out half of the space,” Columbus said about a month prior to opening. “In this business, there’s a flow of people coming and going. Some people have decided to maintain their [Ho man] office spaces year-round so they don’t lose them.”
Hoffman Executive Suites offers virtual office plans, as well, so that businesses have a physical address—and the team handles incoming mail and offers administrative support. Depending upon the tier selected, additional services include a number of days’ use of a private office. Columbus said that Hoffman has more than 100 virtual office clients.
“Our services are very specialized,” she says. “Clients will ask for something, and if there’s a way to make it happen, we’ll make it happen. We have the opportunity to specialize our services, and that’s what really sets us apart.”
Columbus strives to make the office work environment professional and engaging in regard to the aesthetic, which is bright and modern with interesting artwork. “It’s a fun place to come and work,” she says.
MOVING UP: In April, Venture X moved from its Mercato location in North Naples to a new 18,000-square-foot space at 4850 Tamiami Trail N. in Naples.
Away From Home
“You could have the most beautiful home office in the world, but it’s unfair to your work/life balance, there are so many distractions,” says Columbus. “People enjoy the camaraderie, even if at a distance, in an environment with other like-minded individuals. They may even end up doing business together down the road.”
