Gates Hudson announces the opening of a new 8,000 square foot combination shared office & co-working space in Ballston, designed to cater to a variety of professionals seeking an alternative and affordable work environment. WorkAround is quickly leasing a variety of private offices, team rooms, and open-work seating options.
WorkAround is located at Ballston Metro Center, directly above the metro station; providing an easy commute and direct access to the shops and restaurants that define the vibrant day and night lifestyle of Arlington.
“The location and space are absolutely perfect for busy professionals, entrepreneurs and growing businesses,” said Joseph Schechtel, Senior Vice President of Gates Hudson’s Commercial Division. “It is totally flexible, convenient and a perfect fit for those individuals who prefer a non-traditional office environment or start-up companies that are unsure about how to manage their future growth.”
Gates Hudson specifically chose Ballston for their first WorkAround location, based on its unique demographic make-up and strategic location between Tysons Corner and downtown D.C. “As the occupancy grows, we believe the diverse businesses that share this space will enhance their work respective experiences and lead to new ideas or opportunities for all.” Schechtel added.
Clients can sign up for relatively short terms and everyone, whether in a private office or open seat, has access to tech-ready conference facilities, a communal kitchen and a well-appointed work room – included in the flat monthly fee. “We cater to a community of diverse, serious minded business professionals who are focused on building their businesses and need a productive, low stress, cool environment where they can work and collaborate, notes Daniel Schneider – Director and EVP of Gates Hudson.
At full capacity, WorkAround can accommodate up to 84 individuals, with 50 open seats in the common area and eleven private offices. WorkAround Ballston is the first in a planned line of shared office and co-working spaces by Gates Hudson, throughout the Washington D.C. Metro area. www.WorkAroundBallston.com
