The coworking space on Jasper changed more than I expected in 3 years

I used to rent a desk at that spot on 104 Street back in 2021. Rent was 350 a month and I could hear the guy next door on calls all day. Last month I walked by and saw they turned half the floor into a podcast studio with soundproof booths. Three years ago nobody in Edmonton was recording business podcasts now every second entrepreneur has one. The owner told me they added 12 members last quarter just from people wanting to record content. Kinda wild how fast things shifted from networking over coffee to networking through audio. Has anyone else seen their old office space change into something totally different?

Walked into my old WeWork last month and it was practically a recording factory. They ripped out half the open desks and put in these little glass booths with professional mics and ring lights everywhere. I swear half the people in there were just pacing around talking into their phones like they were on a TED stage. It's CRAZY how fast the whole vibe flipped from quiet coworking to nonstop content creation. My buddy still rents there and says the landlord actually bought a soundproofing company last year, that's how much business changed.

Man, that's wild how fast things can flip in just a few years.
