Workspace Pioneer Coming To West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A global leader in flexible workspaces will be opening its first location in Connecticut at Blue Back Square in West Hartford. Spaces, the pioneer in creative, flexible workspaces, has signed a lease to move into the 25,733-square foot space formerly occupied by REI, officials announced. Spaces is expected to open in late 2018.

“Spaces is part of IWG, the global leader in flexible workspaces that currently operates in over 3,000 flexible workspace centers across more than 110 countries,” Robyn Rifkin, general manager of Blue Back Square, said in a news release. “As West Hartford’s workforce continues to evolve, Spaces offers a place for entrepreneurs, small offices and even large corporations the opportunity elevate the growth of their company and facilitate new connections at a local and global level.”

Spaces has been specifically designed to meet the needs of a variety of business models and growth stages by offering a wide range of creative, flexible workspace options.

“Whether meeting with a group or flying solo, the private offices, dedicated desks, open-area business club, and fully equipped meeting rooms provide opportunities for a wide variety of working scenarios,” according to the news release. “Members can utilize different work areas based on their changing business needs.”

Michael Berretta, Vice President of Network Development for IWG, said West Hartford is “the perfect mix for a growing startup hub including access to premiere educational institutions and skilled mentors from established organizations. Blue Black Square was the ideal location for Spaces to mark its debut into Connecticut. It is a cultural epicenter that, just like Spaces, champions local businesses and embraces innovation.”
