A Bright Future for Broward County

Broward County is finally getting the attention it deserves.  What use to be hailed as a “pass-through community” is now getting recognized as a prime location for redevelopment.  “The airport expansion, new hotels, renovations to major thoroughfares and retail areas all bode well for the city,” said Rachel Bach, acting executive director with the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. The city is estimating more than $150 million in new development in the coming years. The renewed interest in the area comes as no surprise to Bach who claims “location-wise, we’re perfectly situated”.

Dania Beach has been one of those communities that people overlooked as they drove along Interstate 95 in spite of the fact it’s home to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, several yachting centers, and an iconic roller coaster. However, developers and city officials have big plans on the horizon for Broward County which include tearing down that iconic roller coaster and building 1,000 apartments, 800,000 square feet of office space, and 1 million square feet of retail and hotels along the interstate.

Nearby, the Design Center of the Americas is also doing a major redevelopment along with the neighboring Sheraton which is being converted to a high-end hotel. To the east, Dania Jai-Alai is currently undergoing a yearlong, $50 million renovation project to bolster its gaming offerings. The well-known “Antique Row” along Federal Highway is also part of a downtown redevelopment project that will refresh the retail presence, but also include Dania Place, a mixed-use condo and commercial development. To the north, the airport recently completed the elevation and expansion of the south runway, and finishing touches are being put on U.S. 1 through the area.

Is a Virtual Office Right for You?

As your business grows and develops, you might be faced with the tough decision to take your business elsewhere or stay in your home office. The need for a prestigious business address, 24/7 professional meeting space availability, and live phone reception service can necessitate the change from a home office to full service office space. However, there is a third option…one step in between…that might be the perfect compromise between the two workspace solutions…a virtual office. A virtual office gives you all of the convenience of a home office but with the support you would expect from a full service office space. To help you with this crucial decision for the future success and vitality of your business, following are some pros and cons of working from home and working via a virtual office.

Work from Home

Benefits: Convenience, most affordable and accessible option, work whenever-however.

Drawbacks: Lack of professional image and meeting space, hard to create home/work life boundaries, easy to get distracted.

Virtual Office

Benefits: More affordable than traditional office space, increased flexibility, professional meeting space, live phone answering service, prestigious mailing address, professional look and feel, ability to network with other like-minded professionals, ability to focus on your business.

Drawbacks: Increased cost

There are clear benefits to conducting business in a professional setting outside of your home. A virtual office makes you official in the eyes of your customers and sends a clear message that you are serious about your business. It also gives potential customers a chance to visit your office, meet with you, and feel comfortable doing business with you. It is hard to counteract the obtrusive feeling your clients feel when conducting business inside your home.

There are pros and cons to working inside and outside of your home and the key is figuring out which option works best for you. Most entrepreneurs agree that with success comes growth and with growth comes the need for meeting space and a professional look and feel.
