Nonprofit coworking space and business incubator 1909 leased a 9,000-square-foot office at the historic Comeau Building at 319 Clematis Street. The location will include workspaces, event space, conference rooms, a quiet room and a gym for early stage entrepreneurs building businesses in South Florida.

1909 partnered with real estate management firm Morning Calm Advisors to find its new office.

Located in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, the 10-story Comeau Building was built in 1926. It was one of three downtown office buildings purchased by Boca Raton-based Morning Calm in 2021 for $54 million. Since then, the property has undergone an extensive renovation.

Named after the year Palm Beach County was founded, 1909 connects hundreds of small businesses with subsidized workspaces, mentorship program, community events and more. The nonprofit reports it already has a nearly two-year waitlist from entrepreneurs seeking workspace in the city.
