New-to-Dallas Apt CoWork opens co-working spaces very close to home
Apt CoWork space
A new kind of coworking space is making strides in Dallas: Called Apt CoWork, it's a chain based in Salt Lake City that opens locations in apartment buildings. They've just opened a space in the Savoye Apartments in Addison, at 3870 Ponte Ave. - joining three other DFW-area Apt CoWork spaces already open in Lewisville, Frisco, and Plano.
Apt CoWork launched in 2021 and has locations in Utah, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Massachusetts.
They transform retail spaces, non-monetized coworking spaces, and underutilized spaces in hotels, apartment communities, and HOAs into workspaces to offer a new model of coworking for remote and hybrid workers.
Spaces are available on a subscription basis and provide such amenities as privacy pods, lockers, conference rooms, hourly private offices, quiet phone booths, high speed internet, coffee & tea, sit/stand desks, ample work spaces, and parking.
Apt CoWork subscriptions at the Savoye are $120 a month, and are open to non-residents as well.
The company also offers services such as printing, private office, and meeting space rentals, which are more cost-effective than, say, a traditional hotel meeting space.
Forbes recently named Dallas as one of the best U.S. metros for remote working. And as Apt CoWork CEO Danielle Noel notes, employees who live in apartments may not have ample space for an office.
“Research shows that remote and hybrid working is here to stay but it has its drawbacks," Noel says in a statement. "At-home working comes with challenges such as a lack of productivity, difficulties with team collaboration and frankly, for many, personal isolation."
"We understand that coworking spaces have the potential to restore social, emotional and productivity benefits to these workers," she says. "With some coffee shops no longer allowing remote workers to set up shop for the day, our coworking spaces are filling a need in places where they are needed most, close to home."
Unlike earlier iterations of coworking companies, Apt CoWork has shifted away from traditional commercial leases.
"By partnering with residential buildings we offer a boutique feel within the neighborhood, we are building a community in the neighborhood where people have the opportunity to work next to their friends and neighbors," she says.
