ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Coworking company Expansive is expanding its Florida footprint with the purchase of 333 3rd Ave N in downtown St. Petersburg.

Pre-leasing is already underway for private offices, SmartSuites™, and coworking memberships. St. Petersburg is the company’s fourth Florida location, after Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami.
