Jessica Liang shares how she found out that Nook, her coworking space, needed to move out by March 31st. But when the members said they wanted to stay together, they moved quickly as a community, finding a new space and signing a new lease in a number of days. They then had a"painting party" as they worked together to fix up and finish the new Nook location for an April 1st opening.

The first time she opened a space it took 3 years. The second location took around 30 days, because she "finally had a village".

"Thats the difference between opening a location and co-creating a home."

Matthew Davis shares more info on COhatch‘s next big project, and how they’ll be creating a one-of-a-kind coworking and business innovation district called Riverview Village (in Dublin, Ohio).

ICYMI: We discussed this project with Ryan Fogelman back in November 2024, and they’ll finally be breaking ground on April 16th!

Office Evolution Westlake Village has relocated to a newly designed 10,000 sqft space, nearly doubling its original capacity.

The expansion also marks a leadership milestone. Longtime Director of Operations Ashlynne Balikian, a local resident who helped guide the center’s growth and led the design of the new space, has formally stepped into co-ownership alongside founder Tom Warekois. The previous location maintained a steady waiting list, prompting the move to a larger footprint that includes 39 private offices (most already leased), coworking areas, and meeting space.

Congratulations to The Village Hive, Charlotte Kirby, Monica Hecht and the whole community.
