Looking for a one-person private office? We have a better idea, and it’s a coworking membership at Workbar. At Workbar, our spaces are intentionally designed with everyone in mind, making coworking not just an alternative to the traditional private office but the better choice by far.
The Special Sauce: Coworking Neighborhoods
Our coworking neighborhoods are what set us apart. Each neighborhood is a distinct area within our space, designed with specific work styles in mind, and comes with clearly posted Community Norms to help regulate behavior. No matter your work preference, we have a neighborhood for you:
- The Study: Ideal for heads-down work, similar to a quiet library but even less distracting.
- The Cafe: Like your favorite coffee shop, but with ergonomic furniture, reliable WiFi, and no pressure to make purchases.
- The Commons: Perfect for team meet-ups or individuals who thrive on the energy of others.
- The Switchboard: Unique in the coworking world, this area is actually designed for phone calls.
This element of our design is the only of its kind in the coworking industry, and was featured in an article our CEO published for Forbes. You can read more about it here.
Designed for Productivity
Within each neighborhood, a long list of particulars makes Workbar the most productive coworking environment out there. We’re talking about ergonomic furniture that makes you comfortable all day with spacious tables to spread out with your stuff, dividers for privacy, and tons of windows to bring the outside in. Whether you’re a designer, an accountant, a writer, a lawyer, or even a CEO, Workbar is designed for you. With over a decade of experience crafting our spaces and a 94% retention rate, we know our environment works for nearly everyone. Workbar does not even have an HQ; all of our team members, including our CEO and CFO, skip the private office and cowork among members . Our open coworking spaces are purposefully designed for all types, neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals alike, to be as productive as possible. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s time! You might be surprised at how well it works for you.
Space Allocation: More Privacy, Better Environment
Compared to other coworking operators, Workbar provides a more thoughtfully allocated space, ensuring privacy and comfort. Unlike small glass-walled offices that offer less privacy, our coworking spaces are designed to be more private and functional. Members who have switched from other spaces frequently mention this improvement. Surprising, right? Coworking space is actually more private than private offices. Forget the fishbowl vibe! Find your private corner of one of our coworking neighborhoods, and feel the difference for yourself!
Here’s a snapshot of our space allocation versus every other coworking operator.
Take note of our meeting room and phone booth allocation. In our most recent member survey, not one member reported having any trouble booking a meeting room or finding an available phone booth when needed. Those two elements provide you with more privacy than a private office at any other coworking space because our walls extend all the way to the deck. For those unfamiliar with construction terms, this means we invested significantly in the unseen aspects of our buildout, like soundproofing, ensuring a superior work environment.
Commitment to Wellness
At Workbar, we prioritize wellness. In 2017, our Back Bay location became the first coworking space globally to achieve WELL Certification, a prestigious standard for building design and operations that focuses on enhancing people's health and well-being. Unlike small private offices, our spaces ensure better airflow and access to natural light. All our coworking neighborhoods are placed along window lines to provide everyone with natural light. Our furniture supports different postures, and the layout encourages movement throughout the day, promoting overall well-being. You do not want to be in a windowless office straining the same muscles, breathing in stale air during your workday. We’re getting tired just thinking about it!
Cost-Effective Memberships
At Workbar, we believe in giving you the financial flexibility and control you need. Our coworking memberships are more cost-effective than renting a private office. For $399 per month, you get unlimited 24/7 access to your home location and open reciprocity to all other Workbar locations in the region during regular business hours. That means if you’re based at Workbar Needham, you can easily work from Workbar Back Bay whenever you need. Our coworking memberships offer flexible month-to-month terms with no hidden fees or variable costs. We are so confident it will work for you that we offer a 50% welcome discount on your first three months. We know it takes time to get the most value out of your membership, and we don’t want you to pay the full price until you get the full experience!
Why Spend More for Less?
Choosing a coworking space at Workbar means better design, more privacy, enhanced wellness, and significant cost savings. But it's not just about the space. It's about the community.
