I have been a hotdesk member at WeWork Burrard Station since they opened their first Vancouver office space back in November.
This is my first experience with a shared office space, but I have always known about WeWork (and the fact that they are a leader in the industry) because my previous employer set their remote employees up in WeWork offices in New York, London and beyond.
I now run my own business, and was so thrilled to learn of WeWork opening a space in Vancouver last fall! The hotdesk experience has been flawless - there is always more than enough available space for me to work when I arrive (regardless of the time of day or day of the week), you get credits which allow you to book private meeting rooms on a monthly basis, and there is an amazing communal kitchen for you to use to heat up/prepare brought food (and stocked with all the free coffee, tea and fresh fruit water you could need to keep you going throughout the day).
WeWork provides so many nice little touches that have made me feel really comfortable and at home in their space (that I really wasn't expecting), like sound proof call booths for when you have to make important business calls, super incredible front desk staff and I.T. help who are available to help with anything and anything Monday-Friday from 9-6 (and often longer), nice little bathroom toiletries like mouthwash and tampons, and a TON of member led lunch and learns that cover topics from business finance and accounting to SEO and social media marketing! On top of this, the community managers also set up a ton of awesome events, like a weekly happy hour, and other networking opportunities.
There are so many talented people working out of this location, and I feel like there's no better place to be if you're looking to grow your business, have a super stylish and impressive office to work from (and bring your clients to), and potentially meet your future business partner at.
I hope this review is helpful, but there is honestly no better way to experience the level of professionalism of this shared office space than touring WeWork Burrard Station yourself. You will be so impressed! read more
