Convene — a premium provider of hybrid-enabled corporate meeting and events space; private office suites; and flexible workspace — recently announced the reopening of its Midtown Manhattan coworking space at 101 Park Ave. Located near Grand Central at the corner of 41st Street and Park Avenue, the outpost is exceptionally accessible and incorporates more than 20,000 square feet of meeting and events space, complete with modern design and premium hospitality.
Designed in-house by Convene to have a human-centered approach, the space takes cues from the surrounding neighborhood. For instance, in a nod to the historic, high-end residences of pre-war design, 101 Park Ave. features an open layout of grand proportions with traditional detailing. Specifically, the renovation added decorative lighting elements; Venetian plaster; furniture; and fixtures that emulate a stylish, townhouse aesthetic. Bright, vibrant floral patterns and neon color accents also juxtapose the more refined, traditional details.
Tailored to incorporate flexible hybrid and in-person meetings and events, Convene 101 Park Ave. can accommodate up to 200 guests, depending on the chosen space. With unlimited, high-quality snacks; freshly brewed coffee and tea; and curated seasonal menus built on carefully selected local ingredients, 101 Park Ave. can also offer a culinary experience that rivals some of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. Plus, by offering plenty of soft seating options and breakout spaces, the revitalized property is an excellent choice of venue for corporate or social receptions; training sessions; alumni events; galas; and town halls.
The reopening of 101 Park Ave. comes less than a year after the company opened its first international location at 22 Bishopsgate in London and reopened its members-only Club 75 coworking space in Manhattan. Additionally, Convene also completed a recapitalization plan led by HBC and Ares Management that connected Convene with all existing and future SaksWorks coworking locations.
Notably, this arrangement is slated to expand the footprint of the Convene experience to additional urban and suburban areas. Currently, the flexible space provider’s portfolio includes 23 locations in seven markets: Boston; Philadelphia; Chicago; New York City; Greenwich, Conn.; Washington, D.C.; and London.
Convene strives to provide an end-to-end modern workplace experience and support members’ workday to the highest level, wherever that may be. Amenities and services include beautifully designed corporate meeting and events spaces that can be fully customized for up to 1,000 attendees with dedicated, on-site support staff, including catering, AV/tech and hybrid-enabled.
Through WorkPlace, Convene offers premium, private office suites for teams of as few as 10 to as many as 50. These suites are also fully managed and offer an elevated culinary experience, on-site hospitality staff and access to Eden Health. Alternatively, individual or small team memberships provide access to Convene’s beautifully designed communal workspaces, private meeting rooms, and unlimited snacks and beverages. Lastly, the Studio option unlocks a proprietary virtual and/or hybrid event platform with dedicated event production staff to ensure a seamless digital meeting experience for up to 10,000 attendees.
