Workbar, Boston’s coworking space trailblazer, has announced plans to open a 12,000 square foot space located at 399 Boylston Street in the heart of Back Bay in January 2018.

In addition to ten private offices, phone rooms, nine conference rooms, a Café, multiple breakout meeting spaces, and free access to the building’s gym, the space’s features include:
