The Phoenix Biltmore area is home to another co-working facility, and it may just be Arizona’s largest co-working space.
Workuity, a 18,500-square-foot Class A office space, opened in March at 24th Street and Camelback Road and will be able to hold nearly 250 people.
Workuity was built on the premise that professionals, entrepreneurs, start-ups and other individuals should have access to the same creative work environments that companies like Google provide to its workers. Workuity offers long-term leases.
Designed with a hospitality flair, the floor plan and interior offer a range of secure and private work areas and a layout that promotes networking and collaboration. Features include, more than 4,000 square feet of lounge/café space, 60 co-working desks, 45 private offices and presentation/event space for up to 350.
“Workuity was designed to bring together top-notch office design and hospitality quality service, in a connective environment to our members,” said Founder and CEO Daniel Kite. “Our modern design, warm colors, and unique floor plans provide small companies and individuals with offices and amenities typically found at few companies like Google or Facebook.”
Workuity’s flagship facility was designed with the assistance of Phoenix’s Bar Napkin Productions, a hotel, restaurant and movie theater design firm. Bar Napkin Productions has worked on efforts at Camelview Harkins Theaters in Scottsdale.
Bar Napkin was picked because the Kite family and investor’s hold a controlling interest in the Marcus Corporation (MCS-NYSE) which operates hotels, resorts and the nation’s fourth largest movie theater chain.
Workuity’s month-to-month memberships range from $50, for a junior membership, to $4,600, for a group office that can accommodate 12 team members. The short-term leasing options allow growing companies to expand their offices as needed, while at the same time eliminating the hassles of managing an office.
All Workuity memberships include conference room access, open workspaces, internet, business lounge and café, private breakout rooms, event space, onsite fitness center and a small movie theater – all free of charge to members.
