There’s a new energy humming along Carroll Street, and we’re thrilled to share that The Shop BK has officially opened its doors for our soft opening. After years of thoughtful planning, design, and community collaboration, our Brooklyn location is here and we’re already welcoming members, brewing coffee, and building connections.

From the first day, The Shop BK was envisioned as more than a coworking space. We wanted to create a hub where design-forward work environments, local partnerships, and genuine hospitality come together in the heart of Gowanus. Today, with 40% of our space already spoken for, we’re proud to say that vision is taking shape.

Coffee by Beanmonger: A Warm Welcome for Every Guest

The best workdays often start with great coffee, and at The Shop BK, that means a cup of coffee curated by Beanmonger. Our partnership with this Gowanus-based roaster ensures that every member and guest begins their day with something exceptional. Whether you’re here for a quick tour, moving into your new office, or joining us in the Commons for a few hours of focus, the aroma of fresh coffee is the first welcome you’ll receive.

Beanmonger’s craft is rooted in quality, transparency, and a love of community, values that mirror our own. Just as we strive to create a workspace that feels intentional and personal, they source and roast beans that bring care to every cup.

Our Team Onsite and Ready to Welcome You

A space is only as good as the people who bring it to life. That’s why, from day one, our onsite team is here to greet you, guide you through the space, and make sure your experience reflects the heart of The Shop Workspace.

Soft openings are a unique moment in the life of a coworking community. It is the rare moment when the space is polished but still fresh, when the team is ready to meet every new member with energy, and you get the chance to experience it all as one of the very first. Our doors are open for tours, and our team is excited to walk you through offices, commons areas, meeting rooms, and the art-filled corners that make The Shop BK distinctly Brooklyn.

Starting Strong

It’s not just our doors that are open – it’s our offices, and they’re filling quickly. As of opening week, we’re proud to share that The Shop BK has already reached 40% occupancy. This milestone speaks volumes about the demand for flexible, design-forward workspace in Brooklyn and the unique value The Shop offers.

For us, occupancy isn’t only about numbers. Each private office, Commons membership, and dedicated desk represents a person or team doing their life’s work – whether that’s launching a new company, creating art, building technology, or serving the community. And with availability still open, now is the perfect time to secure your spot before we reach full capacity.

What You’ll Find Inside The Shop BK

The Shop BK was designed with intentionality in every detail. During your tour, you’ll find:

Private offices sized for teams from one to eight and beyond, offering flexibility as you grow.
Commons memberships for hybrid workers and freelancers who thrive in a shared environment.
Meeting rooms equipped for brainstorming, board discussions, and client presentations.
Community kitchen and lounge areas, where casual conversations lead to meaningful connections.
Local art and curated design, infusing the space with creativity that reflects Gowanus’ spirit.
Events and programming, already in motion to connect members, neighbors, and local partners.

Even though The Shop BK soft opening is more of a preview – every detail, from the lighting to the furniture to the partnerships, is built to inspire focus and foster connection.

Why Gowanus, Why Now

The decision to open The Shop in Brooklyn was intentional, and Gowanus felt like the natural home. This neighborhood embodies creativity and resilience, with a community of makers, artists, entrepreneurs, and neighbors who are shaping its next chapter. We wanted to be a part of that story – not just as another coworking space, but as an active participant in the neighborhood’s growth and culture.

Our location at 420 Carroll Street places us at the intersection of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Gowanus (three vibrant communities that bring together the creative energy of Brooklyn). Being here means our members are steps away from art studios, local breweries, parks, and some of the city’s most exciting cultural spaces.

A Soft Opening, A Strong Beginning

The beauty of The Shop BK soft opening is the chance to grow together. While we’ll continue refining, adding final touches, and expanding programming in the coming weeks, the essence of our community is already here. Members are moving in. Beanmonger coffee is brewing. Tours are happening daily.

This is the moment to get in early, to see the space as it comes alive, and to make it your own.
