Texas coworking company plans Houston location in East Downtown
Houston will soon be home to another large coworking space. Common Desk, a Texas company, has announced plans for a Houston location in East Downtown — selected for its culture and opportunity.
- Expected to open 2020
- The Dallas-born concept has joined forces with Houston-based Ancorian, a real estate development company, for the project
- Will occupy 25,000 square feet of a 42,000-sqaure-foot warehouse redevelopment known as “The Block.”
- The facility will also have an outpost of Dallas-based Bishop Cider.
Common Desk, which got its start in 2012, now has eight locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and three in in Austin, and its Houston members will eventually have access to these other locations. A common theme in the companies concepts is bridging the gap between coworking and dining and hospitality concepts. Fiction Coffee, Common Desk’s coffee bar concept, is expected to open alongside the coworking space.
Houston’s Common Desk location will have a warehouse feel and is expected to feature various amenities and member perks, including:
- Fitness and wellness center concept, complete with towels and shower facilities
- Outdoor patio and terrarium
- Multi-level seating
- Wet bar and shared kitchen
- Skylights that will bring in natural lighting
- Event space
- Murals and local art
