The report also ranked the “next 10 markets” as up-and-coming tech office markets.

“As tech firms seek innovative and creative cultures to attract and retain talent, they are expanding into secondary and tertiary markets. These 10 markets have a growing tech industry and affordable business costs, a compelling alternative to larger, pricier markets,” the report states.

The next ten tech markets to watch are, according to the report: Miami, Ottawa, Kansas City, Tampa, Norfolk, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Colorado Springs and New Orleans.
