Better Together

Freelancers and entrepreneurs seeking to shape ideas and share equipment often turn to coworking spaces. These facilities offer a trendy environment and amenities (bottomless coffee!) to their members, who in turn report increased productivity and a sense of community. So it’s no wonder that dozens of these businesses are thriving in Houston, capitalizing on our population of innovators. Having reached critical mass in Downtown and EaDo, the trend is expanding to the northern suburbs and out west toward the Energy Corridor. Here’s how Houston is coworking it out.
