Coworking has become a global development force in today's real estate market. Small businesses, young entrepreneurs, tech startups, distance workers, and freelancers often prefer collaborative spaces to traditional offices, and office developers are taking notice. Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT) has over 30 years of office development experience and saw an opportunity to recapture what the suburban office market has lost. Cirql 7142 services local cyber and tech companies, providing scalable collaboration space and communal amenity space.
The heart of the space is the open concept-communal kitchen, which can support community events, public speaking events, and social gatherings. It serves as a connector and incubator for those who work and collaborate within the space. Adjacent to the kitchen area are lounge areas, the flexible-huddle rooms, and glass-enclosed conference rooms. Beyond the communal spaces are office suites for individual tenants designed for the optimal emotional and sensory environment to foster productivity and wellness.
The use of dramatic lighting fixtures and the open ceiling structure give the space a bright and airy style, fostering an open and collaborative environment. The blending of texture, color and pattern, in addition to incorporating retro chairs, colorful built-in furniture, and exposed natural materials, results in an “Upscale Eclectic” style.
