The concept of coworking spaces has surpassed revolution status. The days of long-term rentals — with overwhelming overhead costs — are fast becoming a thing of the past.

Today’s workforce of independent contractors and entrepreneurs prefer to work on the fly as it allows for affordable creativity. Additionally, today’s workforce faces a very different job market from any previous generation. Coworking helps solves this dilemma effectively and efficiently.

Members of Spacious coworking have access to Spacious’ interconnected network of office space in the city that never sleeps — New York, and the city by the bay — San Francisco. Each available workspace operates on a drop-in basis, ready with complimentary coffee, high-speed Wi-Fi access, outlets galore and space available to host a guest or to hold a meeting.

Spacious members create a synergistic sense of community where each co-worker benefits in a way that matters most to them. Spacious members have the opportunity to jump into nearby Spacious workplaces to chill when waiting for appointments, to catch up with messages, or to just get some work done.

The brilliance of the Spacious notion — to utilize unused restaurant space during the day in a popular and pragmatic way — is quite visible in the cities where Spacious networks have begun to populate the work landscape.

However, Spacious has yet to expand to the many markets clamoring for coworking space experiences. Check out a few Spacious coworking alternatives below.
