ALX Community To Open Second Coworking Space In Old Town

ALEXANDRIA, VA—ALX Community, a dog-friendly coworking space, will open a second location in Alexandria. The space at 201 North Union Street aims for an October opening.

The 25,000-square-foot space will feature private offices, dedicated desks and flex seating. There will also be a 5,000-square conference center designed for meetings and an additional eight private offices in a separate wing intended for professions like lawyers, financial service providers and therapists needing more private space. Located near the Alexandria marina, the building has waterfront views.

Clients have a range of options from day passes to dedicated desks, private offices and conference room memberships.

"Our plug and play memberships make it easy for companies to flex as they grow, avoiding the uncertainties and overhead of traditional long-term leases," said ALX Community partner Kelly Grant in a news release. "This is a game changer for companies looking to invest capital in their core business and their employees rather than real estate."

The first ALX Community space opened in April 2018 about a block away at the Founders Hall building at 106 North Lee Street. The space features shared and private offices, communal space, a South Block juice bar, pop-up retail and more. The location houses over 80 small businesses and 170 members ranging from entrepreneurs to freelancers, financial professionals, and non-profit professionals. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

The coworking space hosts a mix of private and public events. These include educational seminars about business development, professional growth, health and wellness and community awareness.
