There’s another new player in the North Dallas coworking market. Illinois-based 25N Coworking has decided on Frisco as its first expansion outside the Chicago area.
Founder and CEO Mara Hauser says 25N tapped Frisco as the home for its third location after auditioning dozens of cities around the country. “To be able to have a workspace close to [residents] was something I was very excited about bringing to the community,” she says.
According to Hauser, 25N hopes to draw membership primarily from Frisco residents when it opens next April. “We’re not a very large corporation,” Hauser says. “We’re personal. We’re there to build a network of support.”
25N differentiates itself by locating in suburban markets (its first two locations are outside Chicago) where coworking demand has been largely untapped. Work spaces are well suited for suburban residents who may otherwise work from a home office, according to 25N.
Adding to its community focus, 25N will open 12,500 square feet on the ground floor of Waterford Market apartments, developed by Stoneleigh Cos. Waterford Market is located near Frisco and Main streets in Frisco’s $5 Billion Mile.
25N’s new space will offer fully-furnished private offices, team suites, dedicated desks, shared flex space, meeting rooms, event space, and virtual office packages. Select residential amenities and additional spaces will be accessible to members through an add-on Premier Membership option. Memberships start at $25 per month, day passes start at $35, and dedicated desks start at $365 per month.
“Frisco’s rapid development has resulted in an infrastructure that doesn’t necessarily provide the consistent technological amenities that its workforce requires,” Hauser says. “So we intend to resolve the unmet needs of Frisco’s independent worker population.”
25N will join LaunchPad City and Yeager Office Suites in Frisco and WeWork (which just announced its Fort Worth expansion) and Common Desk in nearby Plano. Hauser sees potential for 25N to expand elsewhere in Texas, specifically in North Texas.
