6 Cardinal Way, Suite 900, St. Louis, MO 63118

TechArtista

401 Pine St, St. Louis, MO 63102

TechArtista’s downtown office space (formerly Covo) is what working downtown should feel like. They converted the iconic Mississippi Valley Trust bank (built in 1896) into a stunning coworking space. Covo, the San Francisco-based coworking company filled the space with warm communal tables, a beautiful bar called Trust, and plenty of private meeting rooms and offices that will make you proud to work there. St. Louis coworking brand, Tech Artista, recently acquired the space.

Who’s it for?

The downtown entrepreneur who really wants to work in a communal, laid back space that’s covered in inspiration.

Amenities

Besides having a freakin’ full cocktail bar, they offer free signage, a nap room, happy hour, more.

STL Fusion

555 Washington Ave, Suite 310, St. Louis, MO 63101

If you want to work downtown but have the kind of luxury vibe you can find at some of the locations closer to the county line, you probably should be at STL Fusion. The contemporary space provides a great deal of flexibility, making it convenient for you to change offices or areas as your needs require.

Who’s it for?

The business owner who wants to be in the heart of downtown, but in a luxurious, more intimate office space.

Amenities

Daily breakfast, snacks, and beverages, a weekly happy hour, and free signage for all members.

T-REX

911 Washington Ave, St. Louis, MO 63101

T-REX is the starting ground for a number of St. Louis startups due in part to their connection to Arch Grants, but also because of their ample space and relatively low costs. The eight-floor downtown office tower that T-REX resides in has been going under a Google-esque renovation over the last few years, leading to lots of office spaces that show off the building’s original framework and take advantage of the large windows. The fifth-floor communal area is a great place to meet other entrepreneurs, attend a workshop, or just nosh on some complimentary food and drink.

Who’s it for?

Newcomers to the startup scene looking for a reasonable place to start—with plenty of room to grow.

Amenities

Tea, coffee, lots of conference rooms and coworking spaces, plus super fast internet.

Filament

1518 Washington Ave #100, St. Louis, MO 63103

Filament isn’t about coworking so much as it’s about working together better with your team. This unique business is all about designing, facilitating, and hosting meetings—forget renting a hotel meeting room. Filament’s team makes it all easy; you’ll meet with them to define the ‘why?’ of your meeting, design the agenda, pick the methodology and creative exercises, and they’ll take care of the logistics of it. Not only that, but their in-house artists will capture the biggest takeaways from the day and give you a cool, packaged deliverable.

Who’s it for?

Whether you have 10 employees or 50 employees, better, more productive meetings are key to success—and Filament is the key to making that happen.

Midtown

Brennan’s Work & Leisure

3015 Locust St, St. Louis, MO 63103

Totally digging the vibe of The BHIVE but it’s all filled up? Or maybe parking in the CWE just isn’t appealing to you? Brennan’s new spot in Midtown, Work & Leisure, should be at the top of your radar. It’s still got those same Mad Men-esque vibes, but with ample office options, ranging from shared workspaces to private offices—it’s more than 6,000 square feet in total, which includes work and event spaces.

Who’s it for?

The entrepreneur who wants to be in a workspace that’s as cool as what they’re doing.

CORTEX

Innovation Hall

4220 Duncan Ave #101, St. Louis, MO 63110

We can pretty much call the whole CORTEX district “innovation row”, at this point. Innovation Hall is a part of Venture Cafe, and while it is by definition “not” a coworking space, the lounge area offers a free, public workspace during the week. The private rooms do come at a cost, however. The space’s main purpose is to host events in the Innovation Hall (get it?), which is designed to bring people together to listen, learn, and discuss.

Who’s it for?

People who want to be surrounded by innovators…but don’t want to pay a fee.

Amenities

Once again, it’s not really a coworking space, but there is free wifi, and there are two restaurants on site.

CIC St. Louis

CIC@4240, 4240 Duncan Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110
CIC@4220, 4220 Duncan Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110

CIC started in Cambridge, MA, home to some no-name universities, in 1999 (haha, we’re joking, think Harvard and MIT). Their first expansion outside of Massachusetts was CIC St. Louis in 2014, landing them directly in the Cortex district. Since then, they’ve expanded to three separate offices in the area, and they’ve brought the innovative Venture Cafe to 4240 Duncan. CIC’s focus is the tech and bioscience fields, and with over 150 businesses in their St. Louis offices alone, collaborations between companies couldn’t be easier.

Who’s it for?

If you’re part of a bio/tech firm and you haven’t dreamed about working in CIC, you’re not thinking clearly.

Amenities

Where do we start? Private offices, concierge services, fully stocked kitchens, use of CIC’s coworking spaces abroad (hello, Rotterdam!), a gym, and a lab full of things we don’t understand.

CIC@CET

20 S. Sarah St, St. Louis, MO 63108

The Center for Emerging Technologies (CET) has been helping early-stage, high-growth companies both nationally and locally since the late ‘90s, making it one of the oldest innovation centers in town.

In 2014, they became affiliated with CIC, leading to a newly renovated 88,000 square foot space that includes wet and dry labs, production facilities, and office spaces.

Amenities

See CIC’s amenities above, then add even more labs.

Central West End

The BHIVE

4661 Maryland Ave, St. Louis, MO 63108

There are different feelings workspaces have: some are rugged and bootstrappy, some feel like an extension of a university. And then there’s The BHIVE. Straight up, The BHIVE is just cool. During the day, you can find yourself in one of their three private offices, or you can pony up to a seat in the conference room or upstairs bar area. Working late? That’s not the worst thing in the world when half the space becomes Brennan’s iconic bar.

Who’s it for?

Do you want to pretend you’re in Mad Men? This is the spot to do it.

Aside from making you feel better about yourself, you’ll have access to private offices, free drinks, food and drink credit at Brennan’s, and first dibs on private dinners.

Spaces

4625 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108

Spaces is the first of the larger coworking chains to open in St. Louis (think WeWork), located in a very swanky renovated office in the CWE, right next to Yellowbelly. We don’t want to pick favorites or rank spaces, but if you’re looking for that big city, modern feel, this is probably the place for you. Every detail feels high end and fancy AF. Spaces’ experience in the field has helped them create a package for everyone—only want the space for five days a month? They got you. Want a full-time office? They got you too.

It just feels like an inspiring, collaborative space you want to work in.

Nebula opened its doors in 2010, making it one of St. Louis’ first coworking spaces. It’s seen its fair share of innovative companies, and what’s particularly nice about it is that it isn’t just tech companies. If you look at their current member list, you’ll see everything from social media consultants to CPAs and game developers. Nebula owns two buildings next to each other with options ranging from drop-in space to literally having a commercial storefront shop right on Cherokee.

2631 Gravois Ave, St. Louis, MO 63118

NexCore was built by entrepreneurs on the premise that a coworking space means more than working in the same room as other companies—it means working together. Similar to Nebula, the space is used by a wide range of businesses. More than anything, NexCore’s founders want to create a community and give young businesses the tools they need to succeed, including classes, coaching, and workshops.

For those who don’t know, Moosylvania is one of the most innovative and successful ad agencies in town. Maplework is sleek, modern, and relatively small, helping to build the community many entrepreneurs crave.

Hive44 may not have the sex appeal of some of the other coworking spaces around town, but its large footprint and wide range of pricing/workstation options make a good choice for young businesses in the Fenton area.
