General Provision

When it comes to co-​working spaces in Fort Lauderdale the options are still relatively limited. When it comes to a chill, modern, laid back environment where you’d want to collaborate & work on new ideas, it doesn’t get much better than General Provision.
Located in the emerging FAT Village (Flagler Arts & Technology Village) right outside of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, General Provision has a certain vibe to it that appeals to me (and my generation). The work spaces might not be your traditional desks, but still serve as a place where you could bang out any complex project in peace. The wood feel throughout reminds you of a space not often found in Florida, which helps you escape from the outside FTL world once you step inside, and instantly turns on the creative side of my brain and gets the juices flowing.
If you’re looking for an in between space, a place to get away & get work done, or a place to collaborate with like minded individuals, I’d recommend checking out General Provision & FAT Village. If you’ve never been before, The FAT Village Art Walk on the last Saturday of every month is a great opportunity to do just that! It’s a lot smaller than the Wynwood Art Walk, and has a different feel/​vibe to it that I enjoy as a change from the norm while supporting my local community & emerging scene here.

There are few spaces that exude creativity and togetherness like General Provision does. I’ve gone to a couple of South Florida Podcaster meetups there and both times I found something new about the space that made me want to go back and sit for awhile.
General Provision feels like a great space to get work done without feeling like you’re cooped up in an office and is big enough to host a get together of 40+ people. Can’t wait for the next meetup there.

Fantastic workspace. I come here monthly for a meetup but I see all the resources available to those who use it more frequently. If you need a meeting space or a daily workspace, this is a fantastic option.

I went here for a meetup event with South Florida Podcasters Group. The space is very hip and has an industrial feel. There is a coffee bar at the entrance that has a number of seating choices available to anyone who comes in. I’m not sure if they actually serve/​sell coffee here but it seemed as though they did based on the setup.
There’s lots of cool art found on the walls. The bathroom featured some old times ads you would find in magazines for cigarettes and airline companies. It had me thinking of Mad Men and gave me quite a chuckle in the restroom. The space is huge and should be considered if hosting a book club meetup, wine or beer tasting or any event where a medium sized space is needed.
Looking forward to our next meetup in this awesome space.

I went to an event at General Provision and was impressed by the venue and the environment. Great place to be creative and get work done.

I went there for a meet-​up for podcasting last month and want to thank the owners for hosting such a lovely event. I’ll be back for sure.

I’ve been to General Provision multiple times and absolutely love the creativity and productivity this place fosters through the décor, atmosphere and staff.
Want to get in some light exercise while you tap away on your latest project on your laptop? Hop up on one of the cool bicycle stools at the coffee bar. Want to mingle and work side by side others? Have a seat at one of the many community tables. Prefer to work alone in a nook? Yeah, they’ve got those areas too.
I’ve been to other co-​working spaces in Fort Lauderdale and they don’t stack up to General Provision. It is a fantastic spot and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Do yourself a favor and check them out soon!

A great Place for a Meet Up Group to meet. Attended the Podcast meet up last night and the venue and the meeting were GREAT!

Awesome Coworking space in FTL. Very close to downtown and right next to some hip artists, photography studios and easily accessible to the beach.
Highly recommend you stop by this location if you need a meeting location or place to rent a desk at. Very friendly people who are also agencies and app developers.

Great work space. Awesome rustic feel. Lots of areas to work on your own or open areas to collaborate with larger groups.

This is by far the coolest space for working and meetings. Just left my first podcast meet up here and the atmosphere and vibe is so dope.
This would be an awesome spot for a intimate launch party.
Love the mix of vintage furniture and modern tech.

South Florida needs more places like GP! Love the co working space. Truly fresh.
Especially awesome that they are near my favorite coffee shop.
And they support great groups like Podcast South Florida. Thanks for being a great 2^nd and/​or 3^rd space.

General Provision is an incredible space in the Art District of Fort Lauderdale. I love the working environment. We use the space to host a local meetup for podcasters. We typically average around 30 to 40 people at the meetups. The space has been perfect for what we need. I am also planning to use GP as an «on-​demand» office in the future when I have various projects that require focus away from my home office. Great spot. Great people.

Having just returned from General Provision, I couldn’t wait to jump on my computer and tell everyone about it. The purpose of my visit was for a private function. Until this event, quite frankly I have never heard of this place before.
I arrived early (I’m an early bird, can’t help it) before the majority of guests and was greeted by the owner, Tim. Well let me tell you, he was so gracious and inviting, his energy filled the room with warmth. There are those out there that have this special gift of exuding this peaceful energy, but unfortunately they are far and few between. Tim definitely has something special. Shortly after his greeting he had to leave, so I didn’t have the opportunity to speak with him further. DARN!
Hip and trendy, the interiors did not disappoint. Even though the modern décor including the exposed air ducts were covered in black, the entire place felt warm and inviting. A masterful design indeed.
Located in downtown Fort Lauderdale’s trendy FAT Village, General Provision is an industrial style open concept shared office space that was custom designed and constructed by the owner. A warehouse style environment, it is longer in depth than width. There is a coffee bar on the right when you enter along with some plush casual seating. On the left wall begins large open tables. Midway down there are two privacy rooms that would hold one person, one with a fold down table, that have purple sponge rubber 3D points on all three walls. (See pic) Actually I really haven’t the foggiest idea what these are for, other than a new age type of private work room. It was actually very cool.
Towards the back left aligned an open cubical concept with desks for individual office spaces. The right had two work tables with a very large, quality drawing table along with foot lockers for guest use. Finally, the rear encompassed a decent size conference room that was very relaxed and comfortable in appearance. (See pics) The entire overall layout was creative and very well thought out.
This informal office environment appears to be a wonderful place to catch up on work. Whether it be long term rentals for the small business you are trying to get off the ground, students or designers collaborating on projects, a casual business meeting with out-​of-​towners, or just taking a day for some privacy to get some work completed, I would definitely recommend visiting this place to see what it has to offer.
Unfortunately I can’t review for actually working at this facility, so I needed to take away 1 star.

GP is a very comfortable and friendly co-​working space in FAT Village. The décor is industrial and clean and the people who are working here are welcoming. They also appear to be very well-​connected and active in the development of small businesses in FL. Definitely a great place for anyone who needs a base away from home for working or meeting.

What a great place to work! General Provision is a lovely co-​working location with a great crowd of regular members with their boots firmly planted in the local community. Right in the middle of the formerly industrial Flagler Arts and Technology Village, GP is at the center of a lot of positive development happening in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The membership fees are reasonable and the wifi and coffee are great.

Want to get the creative juices flowing without having to hit the random Starbucks? Check out General Provision for an eclectic, industrial yet inspiring space nestled in the funky warehouse arts district. Having lived in NYC for a good many years, the first time I visited General Provision, my wife and I both felt like we had been teleported back to Brooklyn. There is ample space to work and create here, and the venue is also perfect for small celebratory occasions. Call for rates and availability. Just remember, this isn’t a coffee shop, if it were I’m not sure it would be as cool. And certainly not as effective for getting work done.

This is an amazing place for entrepreneurs of all kinds to come in and work out their ideas. You can rent space by the month or just come in and pay for the day. They charge so that it stays a place that is professional and well ordered whilst being innovative and progressive. You must check it out!
