Coworking spaces are the future. Since 2011, our headquarters has been based in Battery 621, a coworking space in the heart of Denver. We absolutely love it! These environments increase opportunities for making connections, collaborating with other groups, and expanding horizons to learn and further develop as a business. We’re proof that these spaces work.
That’s why we’re highlighting the benefits and perks of moving your headquarters to a coworking environment. It’s been proven that employees thrive when working in an open space. In fact, on average, they perform at a higher level than employees in “regular” working environments. That’s because they’re fun and fluid. It intrinsically builds environment for people to learn and connect, while bringing their pups and sharing in a happy hour with people from various backgrounds and experiences.
In this post, we’re helping you understand why you should consider starting your business in one of these awesome coworking spaces. Also, if you have remote employees, you should encourage them to seek these environments to fuel their productivity and thrive. There are more than 20 spaces in the Denver area. Here are a few standouts.
Founded in 2010, Battery621 was created by a lineage of outdoor enthusiasts. Pulling together a compilation of diverse perspectives, they strive to focus on human growth connections. This is our coworking space and home since 2011 along with several other companies. They offer space for individuals as well as long-term rental options.
A few of our favorite perks for Battery621 are the First Friday parties, a monthly event to highlight local vendors and musicians. They’re also dog-friendly. There are plenty of studies showing that dog-friendly office spaces make people happier.
Overall, it’s a great space and the opportunity to connect with so many talented professionals is one of the reasons we continue to thrive.
A truly unique coworking space, Green Spaces is a sustainable community of like-minded individuals and businesses in the heart of Denver's RiNo Arts District. They recently opened a location in Winter Park so members can travel from Denver to the mountains on one shared membership. (Just one of the many reasons we love this community.)
Green Spaces focuses on being eco-friendly while promoting collaboration and supporting individuals. Oh, and they’re dog-friendly also! Plus, they host fun community events such as open mic nights and poker nights.
If you’re an eco-conscious organization, this is the place for you.

Boulder: The Studio is rad and evokes everything we love about the Denver area. Based in Boulder, the founders created this space to combat seclusion. Per their website, “so many creative career paths end up defaulting to working alone or with small, intimate teams. But creativity and inspiration can be so much more impactful and frequent within a broader community.” We agree.
This warehouse turned coworking space is dog-friendly and has a unique option for creators - a true make station. Outside of the private desks and office options, makers can get access to their own station with all the tools their need to create their work.
