Co-working vet Common Desk (founded in Deep Ellum in 2012) has expanded its local reach to Greenville Avenue in the newly renovated Energy Square—which has been home to Dallas businesses since the 1950s. The campus contains five large, highly amenitized buildings conveniently located off North Central Expressway and University Drive. Common Desk will take up 25,000 square feet in Building 2. The space will feature 11 conference rooms, 62 offices, 3 midsize suites, and ample socially distanced coworking space.
Because of its accessibility and future-forward vision, opening a location in Energy Square has been a longtime goal for Common Desk, and it first began pursuing opportunities with the prominent business campus in 2017, according to officials. Common Desk’s location at Energy Square marks the second partnership between Common Desk and USAA Real Estate, adding to the first in Houston at 2500 Citywest, with the potential for a third on the horizon. It will be Common Desk’s first partnership with Glenstar.
To date, Common Desk has 20 locations and counting in Dallas, Houston, Austin, Wilmington, and coming-soon Raleigh.
