There is street parking but I am unsure of any other place that they have. When you first walk in you can't help but notice the open space and everyone working, I immediately went into work mode. There are so many different nooks to choose from for working I opted for a space by the window. They also have different rooms that you can use. All of the people there are pleasant. Overall nice space. Grateful I was able to see inside.

This is a beautiful space on South Harrington Street in the Warehouse district. Like many areas in…read morethe warehouse district, parking is complicated, but just drive around the block with the same strategy that you have when you go to Humble Pie (across the street) or The Pit (around the corner). Nice hardwood floors. High ceilings. Steel beams. Modern fixtures. Abstract art. Open space. A great venue for events like the one I attended tonight with a wide great room and some small rooms off to the side. As the daughter of a builder, I was impressed with the design and the layout too. As a sometimes event planner, I also appreciated. Nicely done. When you're networking, you want to be able to see well and move around easily. From what I learned tonight, this is also a great location for start-ups, entrepreneurs, small businesses and people who just need an office space. It's collaborative and friendly with the allowance for your own work space. In addition to the networking event tonight, I did talk to some people who actually work in offices there. They said it could be a little hard to concentrate at times with people coming and going or playing music with such open spaces. Downstairs I saw a ping-pong table and large counter-space. Apparently sometimes they have food there. My new friend pointed out that it can also be a little distracting knowing there's beer on tap downstairs... maybe so, but I relax a little after a drink and work better (no, I'm serious -- did most of my top notch graduate work with wine in hand). But, we're all different. There are some really neat businesses at home at HQ Raleigh though. Really neat to check something like this out for myself.

It's a beautiful office space with solid amenities (ample workspaces, fast wifi, conference room, kitchen, good coffee, parking), and a nice community feel. Betsey the owner plans many events, and there are great networking opportunities, but there's never pressure to participate or socialize. The noise level is totally reasonable. It's basically the coolest office ever. AND it's in a perfect location. I loved working there and miss it a lot. I haven't been able to find another coworking space quite like it.

It's one open room that could feel a bit warehouse-y, except they've added these great paper lanterns and twinkle lights to the rafters. Just that little touch really adds so much to the space. There are multi-stall bathrooms too. Windows don't have built-in blinds/curtains, which might cause a sun glare issue for daytime events.

If you raise your head and look up, you can see something always hanging from the roof. The building is definitely spacious, it's almost the size of a small school gymnasium; and like a school gymnasium, sometimes there are issues with the central air conditioning. It can get to an unbearable state when you have over 70 people in here but the vents were pumping out heating air. I digress. One side of the building has been dedicated to a fitness center**; sometimes over the dance music I can still hear the clanking of free weights and barbells and other equipments. Oh yea, the bathroom is a bit spartan and old-timey. **Speaking of which, I think I vaguely saw a group class doing cross-training. Perhaps I should join them right after the dance class to keep up the metabolism burning.

It's a very nice space with free coffee and water and great WiFi. Desks are spacious and outlets are available throughout the building.

What a super awesome place to have a meeting and work! My company rented a large meeting room for a…read moreweekly meeting. They've done a great job with the place! The moment you walk in, it feels like you're in an office space but with a school vibe. There's a workspace to suit all of your needs -- from tiny workspaces, study rooms, to open space tables. When I arrived, I didn't know which room we were supposed to be in so I asked the person at the front; surprisingly she couldn't find the schedule. It was taking too long so I just guessed the room. The large meeting room can get quite loud with the air conditioning unit. It was quite bothersome after all. The vent would shut on and off. Folks speaking would have to raise their voices. That was the most annoying part about the space.

It's right on Fayetteville St where the parking is easier.

It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown. It's a 5 minute walk to a dozen restaurants. The space is beautiful and always immaculately maintained. It's well lit and has a great productive vibe. Wifi is reliable and fast. Coffee, espresso, soft drinks, beer and snacks are provided as well, for free. The place includes several large conference rooms, several smaller conference rooms and a few private call rooms. No matter what your need there is always a spot to get things done. The conference rooms all have dedicated TVs with teleconferencing features built in. There are ample outlets and power supplies for plugging in everywhere. Finally, the owner Michael is super accessible and has a great team. He and the team are always around helping members and folks renting the conference rooms and taking care of any issues that arise quickly. The space is also available as a rental for events in the evenings and they go above and beyond to re-arrange all the co-working furniture to make space for the events and then restore everything to where it was before the next morning. I'm so glad that I found this place when I went looking for co-working spots downtown and I feel lucky to be a member here. Highly recommended.

Raleigh Iron Works is a mixed use development just outside downtown Raleigh. There are restaurants,…read moreshops, offices, a yoga studio, gym and apartments. Parking is available in several lots and there is also a parking garage. I hadn't been to RIW since it first opened and the parking and offerings have expanded with plans to keep expanding on the 19 acres with one more phase. The Peden Steel Company once operated on the property. I liked how remnants of that steel were used throughout the development as the property was redeveloped. The Bow Truss Building produced munition during World War I. Barges were produced during World War II. The original steel was used for the buildings; art; benches; planters; and monuments. The courtyard of the Double Gable Building shows the exposed steel. This is a nice area to sit outside and has a fireplace for when the temperature cools. Native plants were used for the landscaping, and a full-time horticulturist was hired. The native shrubs and perennials provide food for pollinators, and native plants need less water. I could tell that a lot of thought went into the selections for landscaping. There are murals on the property too, one near the parking garage, another outside of the parking garage that you can't miss driving by and another above the pool. On the last Saturday morning of the month, a history and art tour of Raleigh Iron Works is offered, where you can learn more about RIW.
