Inside are six almost-finished affordable artist studios that will rent for the astonishingly low price of $275 to $331 a month, the first of 100 that will be built as part of the rezoning.

There will be roughly 120 subsidized studio spaces across 11 development sites in Gowanus, the first to open will be at The Shop, a coworking space at 420 Carroll St., this spring. The lottery application is now live, and the first drawing will take place in early April, according to a press release.

The shift to remote work over the last five years has dramatically changed the way we think about the office. While working from home offers a sense of flexibility, it also brings challenges that many professionals originally didn’t anticipate.

Anne Olsen, Director of Coworking at The Shop, joins us to share how she went from community building to leading a multi-city coworking brand under The Domain Companies. With locations in Salt Lake City, New Orleans, and soon Brooklyn, The Shop is growing, and Anne is at the center of it all—scouting new locations, refining operations, and making sure each space fosters connection.

In New Orleans, Hugh Breckenridge is Community Manager at The Shop Workspace in The Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street.
