Downturn In Economy Shot In This Company's Arm

When Wall Street companies crashed and burned last year many professionals found themselves out of work and looking to start new ventures. They needed office space, but didn't want to invest a lot of money for permanent, expensive real estate in Manhattan.

That turned out to be good news for a company called Wurk Environments, provider of upscale, flexible and - if necessary - professional work space. I toured their Times Square facilities (another is planned for Santa Monica) where VP Joseph DeTrano was kind enough to take me on a tour.
