The Shop Workspace announced the official opening of its new Brooklyn location within 420 Carroll, a mixed-use development in the Gowanus neighborhood. The Shop is a design-forward coworking space tailored for freelancers, creative professionals and growing businesses rooted in the evolving Gowanus community. Offering 3,000 square feet of coworking space in the building’s second floor, The Shop at 420 Carroll will be the brand’s third location, with others in Salt Lake City and New Orleans. Upon opening, The Shop Workspace at 420 Carroll is nearly 50% leased. The Shop will soon open a new location in Greenpoint and plans to expand throughout the city.
“At The Shop, service is far from an afterthought, it’s the core of our model,” said Anne Olsen, Director of Coworking at The Shop Workspace. “From Day One, we’ve designed this space around Gowanus. Our new location is rooted in our neighborhood through partnerships with artists, nonprofits and local businesses. By blending high-touch hospitality with authentic community connections, we’ve created an ecosystem that makes people want to work here. Opening in Gowanus gives us the chance to welcome members into a space that reflects the neighborhood’s energy and creativity, while continuing to grow The Shop’s presence in New York. With a Greenpoint location confirmed, we are eager for continued growth across the city.”
The Shop offers pet-friendly offices, shared common areas, meeting spaces, cutting-edge technology, phone booths, a staffed reception area, mail and business services, an office kitchen, unlimited Beanmonger coffee, espresso, tea and more. Members of The Shop BK unlock access to over a hundred coworking spaces across the globe through the League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces (LeXC) and access to the Salt Lake City and New Orleans locations and any future locations of The Shop.
