I’ve been renting my office space at Expansive since 2022, and I truly enjoy being part of this community. From the moment you walked in, everything about the space makes you feel welcome and motivated to grow your business. The common areas, rooftop and amenities, like the coffee, tea, and kitchen are all great! Nikki, the office manager, is amazing!! She always goes above and beyond too support tenants and guests, she does a great job organizing community events! I also love the vibrant colors and positive energy that Expansive brings to the workspace. Highly recommend!

Had a power outage and needed a place to work. Expansive was able to provide me with a last minute office to work out of. It was quiet and clean place to work. They had an open kitchen and vending machine for quick snacks. The staff is very responsive. Great place to work.

Reserved a room here because I needed to hyper-focus on an important strategic day of work, and it was great! The room was soundproof, and the office has a coffee machine to keep you going! It was great and I highly recommend for folks who need a space to focus and get away from the home office. I was proud of how productive I was and how much work I was able to output in a single day.

I came in a few days ago for a tour of the offices. The manager Nikki helped me out and I have to say she was very on point. I threw many questions at her and she was very knowledgeable. She made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. The offices are pretty spacious and affordable. This is a great space to network and socialize with other business owners as well.I am looking forward to renting an office and meeting more people like her.

Awesome office (Local Real Estate Leads) and location! It’s a luxury working in an office inside this building. From the outdoor and indoor lounge spaces that are offered; there’s plenty of options to enjoy lunch or get work done in a new environment. Bonus… game room and on-site parking!

I recently started working here at The Content Factory. The space is very clean, and having a parking garage in the downtown area is a huge plus.

Novel Coworking is the BEST place to have an office in downtown San Diego! In addition to great value for your money, Kelsey the property manager, makes everything a breeze so you can focus on your business. A great sense of community in the building also helps with networking and support amongst each other as everyone tries to grow their business. A great building with amazing amenities, we are thankful we made the choice to join the Novel Coworking family.

Novel has been a pleasure to work at. We used both the co-working space as well as a suite upstairs. The co-working space is great. Its clean, updated, members are friendly and respectful, has private areas and conference rooms as needed. The suite was great as well because of the customization we were able to do. We requested 3 large glass whiteboards and a few TVs, which were installed over-night for us. Kelsey and Rachel have been very easy to work with, anything we needed was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for work space downtown.
