LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SPACES, a Netherlands-born leader in co-working, continues to expand globally and today opened its first U.S. location in Long Island City, New York, at the landmark Falchi Building located at 31-00 47th Avenue.
The Falchi Building has a storied legacy. The former warehouse has been renovated and now contains a number of tech, engineering and media firms, who have opted to make Long Island City their home base due to its high-end services and easy access to Manhattan. While maintaining its warehouse feel, upscale amenities have been added, including artisanal food vendors and abundant retail options. The Falchi Building is at the forefront of Long Island City’s transformation from a manufacturing neighborhood to a thriving community of creative and tech trades.
“Not to be overshadowed by Manhattan, Queens is a center of innovation,” said Kristy Whitwell, General Manager, SPACES. “SPACES brings together the area’s most interesting people and helps them accelerate their business in a productive and creative environment. The dynamic energy in the space comes directly from the people here who want to connect, collaborate and socialize. SPACES provides a five-star co-working atmosphere in a great location.”
Used by global firms across Europe, and more recently Australia, SPACES has pioneered a professional, lifestyle-driven working environment founded on principles of collaboration, inclusivity and authentic, considered design that reflects the company’s ‘Inspire to Work’ philosophy.
Offerings include co-working memberships, large areas where different companies and individuals can interact, meeting rooms along with shared and private offices – all with flexible terms. Members can expect concierge-level services to help accommodate their busy lifestyles. Dry cleaning, IT support and even floral arrangements can be taken care of by the on-site staff.
Regularly scheduled social and learning events make it easy to get to know and network with other members.
Free unlimited access to 1GB WiFi and wired internet is available and office clients have 24/7 building access. Barista-brewed coffee, nutritious snacks and a 5,000 sq. ft. business club round out the SPACES experience. SPACES is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and membership starts from $225 per month.
