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 New York 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.
