Apex is officially dipping its toe in to the co-working world. After months of continued research, which included interviews with managers and operators of co-working spaces in the Triangle, interviews with tenants or “members” of these facilities, exploring the inventory of potential space for co-working in Apex, and networking to find just the right partner to manage and operate the effort, co-working space in Apex is becoming a reality.
The proposed facility, to be called Coworking Station Apex, will occupy approximately 2,500 feet on the second floor of a building in the heart of downtown Apex on North Salem Street. n turn, the Town has entered into an agreement with Coworking Station LLC to provide assistance for initial renovations and infrastructure needs.
While no formal opening date has been set, it is hoped that Coworking Station Apex will be operational in early 2018. In the meantime, Apex Economic Development is continuing to field inquiries for co-working space and will be involved in the on-going marketing and success measurements of the initiative to ensure its long-term presence and sustainability.
