We Work Opens Serviced Office Doors in Soho

Published March 8th, 2010 by Jennifer LeClaire

With one of the most unique web sites I’ve seen in the serviced office industry, We Work is offering “beautiful, functional, flexible, month-to-month office space starting at just $275 a month.” What an offer for office space in Manhattan!

Let’s look a little bit closer at what We Work has to offer from its newly-minted office suites project in the city that never sleeps. When we do, we’ll find the location tucked away at the intersection of Grand and Lafayette in Soho. The specific address is 154 Grand Street.

We Work clients have four options:

1. You can rent a virtual office space for $99 a month. This gives you mail and package delivery, access to a conference room and a Manhattan address.
2. You can also opt for hotdesk coworking. That will cost you $250 a month and lets you work in a café-like work space with high-speed Internet access and other basic amenities.
3. Climbing up the price scale, you could also choose a single desk workspace. You’ll get a desk, chair, filing cabinet and desk lamp in a room you can lock for $375 a month. You’ll share this room with two to five other people who also opted for a single desk workspace.
4. At the top of the heap, you can get a private office for one to six people. This is a full furnished and completely closed private office with everything but a computer. It will run you $550 to $2,400 a month.

A Unique Workplace
We Work offers many of the same standard amenities you’d find in most other serviced office projects. But there are some unique differentiators worth nothing. For example, the conference rooms are dressed with entire-wall whiteboards. The company also offers a podcast recording booth and a private phone booth, as well as fresh fair trade organic coffee every morning and aquavo ovpur water filters, a new book and magazine library, indoor bike storage and discounted zipcar membership.

Beginning with the Web site all the way through to the podcasting booths, this company has taken pains to put a different twist on the traditional serviced office experience. We Work even sets up events like “Thursday afternoon drinks” and book reviews. This community-oriented workspace is also concerned about sustainability, taking extra steps to ensure energy efficient lighting, using recycled furniture and donating to social and environmental causes.

All in all, We Work is one of the most unique shared office projects I’ve written about in the last couple of years. All that’s left is for We Work to get the word out – and I’m glad to help in that regard. If the company can communicate its uniqueness, then it should be smash hit office complex in Downtown New York City.
