What to look at on the map
For a coworking space, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Amsterdam on the interactive map, focus on these:
- 🏢Office density
Near office district = competition; near residential = remote-worker market.
- 🚉Public transit
Members come from across the city — transit access critical.
- 🤝Complementary businesses
Cafés / lunch options nearby keep members from leaving.
