Planting The Seeds<br />

of Productivity<br />

Do you dream of an upbeat workspace that is far<br />

from the corporate world yet has some of the key<br />

elements that account for its Fortune 500 status?<br />

Terry Marks, President of Seed Delray<br />

Well, look no more. You can plant your success as you would<br />

a seed, so to speak. This new co-work environment is<br />

appropriately called Seed and is located at the West end<br />

of the new shopping plaza anchored by Whole Foods Market on<br />

Linton Boulevard.<br />

The concept of a co-working space is a relatively new one, yet the<br />

need for it has been brewing for some time. “Seed Delray is filling<br />

a huge void for single entrepreneurs (or solopreneurs) through a<br />

premium balanced workplace. It fosters an excellent combination<br />

of collaboration with extended networking, innovation and a<br />

balanced physical layout,” said Terry Marks.<br />

Marks was the brainchild behind this 6,000-square-foot<br />

workspace divided into different work areas to meet the needs of<br />

varying business models.<br />

But the underlying genius is the energetic flow that carries on<br />

throughout the second-floor space. There are large circular windows<br />

that cast a bright natural light, ergonomic modern furnishings and<br />

rental flexibility to meet any size business or freelancer.<br />

If you want to rent a desk for a few hours, you’re in luck. They<br />

have what is known as a “Hotdesk” for daily, weekly or monthly<br />

use. You get all the amenities that are commonplace in corporate<br />

offices without the staid work environment. You get collaborative<br />

capabilities, fast Wi-Fi, printer-scanner, spacious kitchen,<br />

conference room use, mailboxes and on-site parking.<br />

If you would like a more permanent workspace, you can opt for<br />

one of their “Dedicated Desks.” The desks are dispersed among<br />

assorted office configurations within a harmonious artful design<br />

that fosters a sense of community and productivity.<br />

“We are leading the way for the quintessential upbeat office<br />

lifestyle for the solo entrepreneur. Our office design, the color<br />

schemes, natural light and modular furniture capabilities are the<br />

perfect backdrop for working and networking,” added Marks.<br />

He has a point. Studies do show that when you feel good you do<br />

good. And when you are ensconced in an upbeat environment you<br />

are more productive, especially when your work is mixed with a bit<br />

of socializing and networking.<br />
