Responding to a Surge in Demand for Flexible Workplaces in Suburban Markets, Regus Opens New Center in Middleton, Wisconsin

MIDDLETON, Wis., Dec. 20, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Regus, the world's largest workplace provider, has announced the opening of its full service business center in Middleton, Wisconsin at the Greenway Center, as demand for flexible workplaces continues to rise in suburban markets across the U.S.

"Middleton is a pocket of strength in Wisconsin.  Its close proximity to Madison, the state capital, major businesses and the University of Wisconsin makes it an ideal location for our customers," said Jeff Doughman, Regus' Central Region Vice President.  "Establishing a presence in this vibrant suburban market rounds out our portfolio and was selected in response to customer research.  We are giving our clients the freedom to work within minutes of where they live and play."

In recent years, the city of Middleton has garnered national recognition for its quality of life, employment prospects and strong educational system.  Last year, Middleton ranked fourth on CNN/Money and Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live" list.  Research and development, bio-medical technology and clean energy are among the leading industries in the region.  Middleton is the largest suburban market in the Madison area and the Greenway Center is home to a number of local and national companies.

"Our investment in the U.S. suburbs is very well timed," added Doughman.  "Results from our Business Tracker Survey indicate an upward trajectory for the U.S. economy.  Nearly forty percent of respondents plan to hire additional staff next year.  As a result, we expect flexible working to be adopted by more businesses across central business districts and outlying areas throughout the country."  

In addition to Middleton, Regus has locations in Brookfield, Glendale and Milwaukee. All centers offer flexible terms on fully furnished private offices, meeting rooms and virtual offices.  Further expansion in Madison and Milwaukee is expected in 2011.

"Tracking our growth this year, it is clear we have bolstered our presence in key suburban and college markets.  Middleton, Wisconsin, Ann Arbor, Michigan and Chapel Hill, North Carolina are just a few examples of our expanding suburban portfolio.  We are determined to provide businesses of any size easy access to workplace solutions that enable them to be work more effectively every day," concluded Doughman.
