Coworking space

Twin Cities

Coworking spaces are continuing to expand across the globe.

We work differently than we used to and we don’t necessarily work in the same space every day. So what is coworking anyway? Coworking is one of the fastest growing sectors in commercial real estate yet represents only 1% of the world’s office space.

Coworking is:

  • Membership-based, shared workspace with open, dedicated and private offices

  • Cool, shared, common space with lots of community and camaraderie

  • Amenity-rich and for anyone from a solopreneur to a Fortune 100 organization 

The term was first used in 1999, and the first coworking spaces were developed in San Francisco in 2006 – including Hat Factory and Citizen. Today there are over 19,000 coworking spaces across the globe and over 25 coworking operators in the Twin Cities area. Some building owners are even starting to get into the coworking business to monetize common area spaces.
