I went in for a tour on 7/23/2025, was pressured into signing then and there without being able to go over the fine print, and was FLAT OUT LIED TO by the sales person Natasha, and then when I tried to undo my contract 1 WEEK Later, they escalated it to corporate and took weeks, only to take her word over mine. The community manager Brandon has been great and helpful- but has many barriers to actual solutions. Now I am getting collections notices for the whole year when I haven't even used the office once and turned in the keys already. The space is a space, but the customer service is abismal and they are unashamed and unwilling. Smh. I never expected this to occur- seems completely opposite of philosophy of the place they try to make you believe before signing the contract. I do not recommend. Find a private owner for a space instead of these bloodhound corporations and their management team. read more

My friend works at Spaces, and invited me to come hang out there for a bit while I was in town, needing to get some work done. As someone who does most of my work remotely from a Starbucks or other random coffee shop with free Wi-Fi. Talk about an upgrade! I haven't been to a ton of coworking spaces, but if they're all like this, I can definitely get on board. The decor is awesome and is a much better environment for getting work done than what I'm used to. read more

I am currently in my third year as a private office customer at another Spaces location in nearby Alexandria VA. The facilities are generally well-maintained and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. That has been my experience at every Spaces location I've been to around the country, including this one. However, I cannot in good conscience recommend this company to anyone. After one year of liking the office I signed a two-year renewal in Summer 2021. When offering a contract, the sales staff do not disclose that buried all the way on the last page of the terms and conditions is an "indexation" clause which states that if you sign onto a lease longer than 12 months (ostensibly to save money on future rent increases), they will simply raise your rent every 12 months anyway, without notice. They claim this is tied to an inflation index, but none of their documents explain where the number comes from; it's purely at their discretion. The terms and conditions I signed stated quite clearly that my rent would increase 4.8% after one year; when the one year mark hit, it instead increased 9.6%. When I brought this to Spaces' attention, their explanation was that they had changed the indexation amount in the House Rules in July 2022 (one year AFTER I signed my lease) without telling me. Since the House Rules claim they "may change from time to time", Spaces takes this as license to increase your rent invoices at any time, with zero warning or recourse available. Deceptive, dishonest, unprofessional business tactics in every way. read more

Spaces NoMa may look decent but the back office is horrible and they do illegal things to get and keep accounts on the books. I have fighting them for six months to delete a duplicate account and they refuse to act. Background: I transferred my Regis virtual contact to Spaces NoMa and the salesperson William Howard upsold me to a dedicated desk. Rather than upgrading or amending my virtual office contract, which I asked for, Howard lied to me and told me that I had to sign a new contract for the dedicated desk. HOWARD LIED AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD HAVE THE BACK OFFICE WOULD DELETE THE VIRTUAL ACCOUNT THAT WAS UPGRADED SO I WOULD ONLY HAVE ONE DEDICATED DESK ACCOUNT. Apparently, Howard got his commission and then refused to delete the original virtual account. Howard even told backoffice that he didn't recall telling me that. AS IT I WOULD PAY TO TWO ACCOUNTS WHEN I ONLY USE ONE. I have written numerous emails and made numerous calls to Spaces to complain about their lying salesperson and his fraudulent acts. To no avail. They are backing him! I have demanded to speak to legal department or upper management, but they have denied me the information. No customer should be treated this way! I make my monthly payments on time for my desk. I should not be charged for a duplicate virtual space. WARNING: Do not rent at Space NoMa! My personal experience is that they lied and committed fraud in order to get a new contact. read more

Our office started in a small space called my apartment, but we quickly grew out of my living room. It's hard for me to commit to a work space as I'm a nomad (secretly dislike commitments). I enjoy traveling from coffee shop to coffee shop and "leasing a space" in exchange for my patronizing the business. Oh well, we all have to settle down at some point and why not make it Spaces. This is a such a great workspace. The front desk staff and Brandon, have been amazing and so helpful. We were set up and working within a few days after touring. The floor to ceiling windows are enough to make any wondering worker (hmmm... probably not the best adjective verb combination) feel like they are still wondering :). And if this isn't enough, you get free coffee, lots of outdoor space and a gym that beats any gym I've been too (imagine two squat racks)! read more

My National Society of Black Engineers Professional Chapter had a collegiate mentoring meeting in the main conference room at Spaces on January 25. We were referred to them by the Black Upstart (by the way, if you are interested in promoting African-American entrepreneurship, follow them). The open space was a great facility for us to use. The many tables and setup available allowed mentors and mentees to engage freely and openly. If you are a nonprofit that wants to do an event consisting between 30-50 people, this space will accomodate you comfortably. Just reach out to them and they will help you out. read more

Spaces is a co-working shared office, but I was first introduced to it by going to the summer yoga series on the Spaces patio. Super fun and the view is amazing. I was also invited to stay for a couple of the office happy hours. The people are nice and I can't wait for the next event! read more

This Co-working space offers great light, multiple seating areas, a nice kitchen and the receptionist was pleasant. I flew in from LA to catch a wedding and needed to get work done before the festivities. I phoned when I arrived was given everything I needed. I easily arrived (BWI - Marc Train - Union Station - 15min walk) and was pleasantly surprised. Let's just say Spaces NoMa is 20x better than my co-working space back home. Light, light and more light as this space is filled with lots natural light and loved every bit of it. I quickly fellowshipped with the manger on site and was on my way. PROS The temperature was good, it felt safe like most co-working spaces, not to crowed although it was Friday, EASY bike rentals (lock provided) to grab food a few blocks away, kitchen was nice and packed with basics and goodies for purchase, Living room style area with couches/ tv/ coffee, etc., Nice colors and not too Blah like most lofted co-working spaces, located in a trendy rehabbed historic building and just a good overall vibe. Shot-Out to the small & simple happy hour that did what it's supposed to do! In short, all coworking spaces have their pros / cons. But it's up to you to find the spaces that aren't right for you and fellowship at the spaces that are right for you. Choose Wisely!!! read more

Negatives: The account management at this location is absolutely awful. I joined month to month as an individual, but my contract was processed incorrectly as a one-year. I cannot get a response from anyone at the local location or headquarters. I keep getting billed despite written confirmation in early December that it was their error and confirming my cancellation. I have emailed seven times with no response to at least four different people/ "help desk" email accounts. I've called and been told they will get back to me. Right now they owe me about $1200. There is no free coffee, the kitchens are filthy, and the building has no cell phone reception. Plus: It's a lovely space and the woman who works at the front desk is really kind and friendly. read more

This new co-working space blew me away. First of all, it's huge. I mean an enormous space that spans the second floor above the new REI in NoMa. Inside and out is absolutely gorgeous. It makes the office space feel like home. Like a home you couldn't afford. But it is super affordable for what you get. Unlike the WeWorks or other similar companies in DC, Spaces has its own fitness center and parking garage. This one is right off the NoMa metro stop. The amenities, community and Spaces support team are top quality and very collaborative. It really has anything you could want in a co-working space. Need to keep an eye out for future Spaces in DC Bc I personally think it's the best co-working option in this city. Keep it up! read more

We are current tenants of Spaces and have renewed for next year. In the past, we have rented coworking space at WeWorks near the White House so have some comparison in this analysis. Overall what I'll say is that both have their pros and cons- so it is really what you prioritize as a business that will make the difference for you. We chose to renew at Spaces due to the office space size and location. Spaces is like Spirit Airlines. It is an attractive facility (great common area and outdoor patio) and has the basics that other coworking spaces have - office space, access to a gym, kitchen with complimentary coffee and tea. However, customer service is limited and anything extra- expect to pay for it- and higher than market price. Office Space: Spaces is notably larger per person and slightly less expensive than WeWorks. Printing: Spaces: printing is not free and above market price; WeWorks- you have a quota each month that is free and after that the prices for printing are about market price. Conference Room space- weworks offers you a quota every month of free conference room space which is online reserved. For Spaces- they have opened this up to one free hour a day over the last year, but have to reserve same day and inperson so can't plan ahead. Anything extra is above market price for a tenant. Common Area- Both spaces and weworks are really nice- both indoor and outdoor. I'd say weworks have a variety of common area both inside and outside so it never feels too crowded whereas spaces often gets filled up fast with their one indoor common area. Complimentary Food and Activities- both have free coffee and water; WeWorks is a lot higher quality providing free la Columbe coffee as well as fresh flavored water (they put real fruits in it daily). If you'd like the higher quality coffee at Spaces- then you have to pay extra. Both have small events in the common areas with free food every now and then which is fun and festive!- but again the difference is really in the quality- Weworks for example will bring in Georgetown Cupcakes (a dc favorite) or full chicken and waffles breakfast, and spaces will bring in off-brand Cheetos, hotdogs, ice cream, etc. (again shouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker for anyone- just pointing out). Mail: weworks sends you an email immediately when you have mail or a package. Spaces requires you to ask the front desk daily (which we didn't know this rule and actually had mail discovered to be in their storage for 4 months after it was delivered including client checks- which we just assumed got lost in the mail. Packages- Spaces now delivers them to your office which is really nice Dogs: Spaces allow small dogs under 30 pounds. Weworks allows dogs of all sizes. Renting space for events: both you can reserve the spaces common area(s) and patio for free. However spaces requires in person request which allow for error- we reserved the outdoor patio and common area for this past weekend almost 3 months in advance. 5 days before the event we were told they confused the days and an external group who was "paying" had the common area reserved. When asked in 2 emails what the indoor space backup was, we didn't get a response back until less than 24 hours before the event. We had to make a decision 2 days before the event whether to change (which we did tell Spaces) bc of catering and guest notification. Point being- if you are just looking to rent the external space and not be a tenant- you will receive priority over tenants. Additionally the extras- ie using the outdoor heat lamps cost $75 a heat lamp plus the cost to have staffer turn them on for the event- (which is way over the market value since heat lamps cost $100 to purchase on Amazon and propane cost $20 at the local Hime Depot to fill a whole tank). Weworks- there is an online booking system for events- so we never had this issue in the past- and always had an easy and confirmable paper trail. Anything that was in a space- was open to use at no extra cost. Customer Service: WeWorks has Stellar customer service- I'd equate it to what you get at a Kimpton Hotel- customer is always right, we'll bend over backwards, experienced in traditional office setting expectations, stick around til 6/7. Spaces is a work in progress- like a 3 star hotel...it's fine. However you can get attitude from staff and they have limited understanding of traditional office setting expectations, and always gone exactly at 5. Cleanliness- Weworks- always clean; Spaces- front kitchen clean, back often dirty for long periods of time and has mouse traps. read more

I attended the Black UpStart event at Spaces NoMa. It was very open and friendly. The staff was professional and helpful. I can tell that some of the event attendees were interested in having events at the Spaces NoMa. I think there will be more entrepreneurial events there. I love the openness of the space!! The private meeting rooms are swanky and functional. I like how bright and open the space is. It makes it easier to work and me without the stuff office feel. read more

I attended The Black upStart's events here and facilities are absolutely beautiful! Definitely check it out

Spaces NoMa is a carefully curated, state of the art co-working space. I recently hosted an event at Spaces and our 300+ guests were comfortably accommodated. The general aesthetic of the space, coupled with the modern design and natural lighting, was ideal. Logistically, the close proximity to the metro (~5 minutes walking distance) made event attendance convenient for our guests. Overall, I am highly impressed with the quality and convenience of the space. read more

I love the space. It's bright and airy and multi-functional. Its also very spacious and beautifully decorated. Great for co-working but also perfect for a networking happy hour and pop up shop set up. I can't wait to visit again. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Five Stars! read more

I'm in loveeee with Spaces. I originally just came to visit the historic space because it was the first arena that The Beatles performed at in the United States. Long story short I left with a membership. I sit in the open membership area for my day to day operations and its perfect for all my business needs. A professional place to meet my clients, receive my mail, pizza days #yum, music playing through out the day, and the metro center is literally right across the street. Its so convenient and far from the traditional bland office space. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. I almost forgot to mention the 24 hour gym, thats truly the icing on the cake. read more

The staff at Spaces was kind enough to offer their venue for my meetup group. Our guests fell in love with the space. Beautiful and modern, in a great location. And our contact there was so kind and helpful. Many thanks! read more

I attended an event at Spaces and I was completely blown away. The building itself is huge and it seems like an amazing place to work. I loved the design of the spaces as well as the materials they provided that could be of use to the patrons. The main space is absolutely perfect so any sort of mixer or networking event- it's a large open space including a kitchen area. We received the utmost positive feedback from attendees about the space, it truly was perfect for what we were looking for. I would 100% look into it for future events. read more

Spaces NoMA hosted the Black upStart for our annual entrepreneur popup, which welcomed over 500 people over a two hour period. The conference space, common space, ample seating, decor and patio demonstrate the smart investment Spaces NoMA has made not only in ensuring the space's flexibility in serving crowds of multiple sizes...but also ensuring the flawless incorporation of urban, futuristic decor. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally friendly and their customer service skills were first class. We host events monthly in the Washington, DC area and consistently look for venues with outstanding aesthetic, amenable staff and sufficient accommodations for a millennial crowd. Spaces NoMA exceeded every high expectation we had for them ensuring our entrepreneurs, guests and vendors were accommodated. We look forward to cultivating this relationship and hosting events their in the future. It's the perfect fit for any organization who serves innovators, entrepreneurs, millennials or urban trendsetters. Thank you read more
