Boston, MA Workbar has plans to open a 12,000 s/f space located at 399 Boylston St. in Back Bay this month. Centrally located outside of the Arlington subway stop on the Green Line, Workbar Back Bay will feature natural light and distinct “neighborhoods” for different working styles. Workbar’s newest location will be the first coworking space designed to meet the exacting WELL building standard to promote the health and wellness of its members.

In partnership with longtime Workbar collaborators Analogue Studio, Workbar Back Bay incorporates wellness features into seven concepts: Air, mind, water, nourishment, light, fitness, and comfort. In addition to ten private offices, phone rooms, nine conference rooms, a café, multiple breakout meeting spaces, and free access to the building’s gym, the space’s features include: 

• Smart-lighting by Osram;

• WELL-managed energy efficiency and water conservation;

• Smart heating and cooling sensors that adjust room temperatures based upon the number of occupants in the room and an advanced under-floor air system;

• Ultra-modern construction pollution management systems; and

• Water filtration system

Workbar is the city’s original coworking space, with seven locations, including South Station, Cambridge, Somerville, Danvers, Norwood, and Arlington, and partnerships with 11 more coworking sites across the state. The network of shared workspaces offers a “hub-and-spoke” system for people whose work takes them all over the region. Workbar caters to small businesses, freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, and corporate clients with remote teams looking for an affordable, flexible place to work and meet with clients and other like-minded professionals. With professionally managed space and top-tier office amenities, Workbar coworking spaces are built with the connections needed to inspire, provoke, and ignite productivity and passion.
