🚄 Industrious launches on-the-go workspaces at Florida train stations
Industrious partnered with Brightline to open workspaces at four Florida train stations including Expand 👇 Miami Central, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, offering meeting rooms ranging from 210 to 652 square feet with video conferencing capabilities. The spaces feature private phone booths, quiet work areas, lounges, and complimentary food and bar access, with bookings available to anyone through the Industrious website, not just members. A unique offering includes the ability to book an entire private train car accommodating up to 66 people for team meetings or events while traveling between cities.
This initiative follows Industrious’ $800 million acquisition by CBRE in early 2025 and other travel partnerships including Delta Business Traveler and the IKEA Hej! Workshop location in San Francisco, as the group sees partnerships as a model for future expansion into high-traffic, non-traditional spaces.

🚊 Coworking added to US train stations (and commuter cars)
Jamie Hodari shares that Industrious has been tapped by Brightline Trains to activate coworking Expand 👇 spaces in both train stations and commuter cars.
"When Industrious tested outdoor workspaces a few years back, spots sold out in minutes. People don’t just accept new work environments—they crave them. They’re curious about them. The truth is, people are already working in trains, in stations, in airports, in hotels — so it’s less about bringing work to places it doesn’t currently exist. It’s about making it a more delightful and humane experience."
