Choosing an open coworking desk over a private office saves you precisely 10 USD a month in this market. The median coworking desk costs 269 USD per month before tax, while a dedicated private office desk sits at a median of 279 USD per month.

Every single one of these 12 locations provides 24/7 access, stripping away the friction of traditional commercial real estate.
