Atlanta, one of the country’s fastest-growing cities, owes much of its expansion and economic upswing to the tech industry. According to Forbes, the number of tech companies based in Atlanta has increased nearly 50 percent since 2010, and as these companies continue to multiply and expand, the city welcomes more and more shared office buildings to accommodate remote workers, early startups, small but established businesses, and everything in between.
Consider these 5 excellent shared office spaces if you’re looking for a well-equipped and conveniently located Atlanta home for your work life.
1. Industrious
Industrious, a growing force in the coworking industry, has five coworking spaces in the Atlanta metropolitan area, but their location in Ponce City Market stands out as particularly desirable. Industrious is a popular choice among remote workers, freelancers, and small business owners, thanks to its business model that combines hotel-quality hospitality with the efficiency of a traditional office. It costs $450+ per month for coworking and $995+ per month for private offices.
2. WeWork
WeWork, like Industrious, chose to open multiple locations in the Atlanta area. Their newest, located in Buckhead’s upscale shopping and business district, has a polished interior spread across two towers, providing plenty of space for small businesses and freelancers alike.
The price is $220 per month for “hot desk” coworking, $350 per month for dedicated desks, and $510-9050 per month for private offices.
3. Thrive
Alpharetta, an Atlanta suburb with a thriving (and steadily growing) population of young professionals, is an ideal location for a coworking space, and Thrive rises to the occasion. This space welcomes all types of freelancers, small businesses, startups, and digital nomads, and Thrive makes a concerted effort to connect its early-career members with experienced mentors to help them navigate their professional journeys. Thrive even has a partnership with IgniteHQ, allowing members of both spaces to benefit from the benefits of the other and expand their networking opportunities.
Open coworking costs $139-335/month, $345+/month for dedicated desks, and $625+/month for executive suites.
4. Regus
The Regus Proscenium office space is located in the cosmopolitan Midtown district.
Your clients and colleagues will be wowed by the welcome they receive at this Midtown office space, which is close to both Georgia Tech and Piedmont Park. Take advantage of the coworking space’s numerous amenities, which include an on-site gym, cafe, drop-in business lounge, and coffee bar. This will be the first choice of everyone for your next meeting or collaborative event. Prices start at $270 per person.
5. Spaces
Atlanta has several Spaces locations throughout the city, but the one on the “Midtown Mile” has an especially open layout, programming designed to encourage collaboration, and a high volume of business tenants looking to accelerate their development. The tech industry has a particularly strong presence in the area, making Spaces an ideal location for startups and independent contractors in the coding field.
Coworking costs more than $220 per month. Benefits include high-speed WiFi, conference rooms, printing/scanning/copying, free coffee, and networking events.
Wrapping Up
Atlanta has evolved into a business and creative hub over the years, earning the moniker “Hollywood of the South” due to its thriving entertainment industry. As a result, it should come as no surprise that such a burgeoning area would encourage the growth of coworking spaces.
Whatever industry you work in, Atlanta has a home for you, as well as shared office space to accommodate it. Enjoy being a part of a vibrant community while also taking advantage of amenities that make these Atlanta workspaces even more appealing—all without having to worry about expensive leases or astronomical startup costs.
