A 1976 tower completely reimagined in 2019 by HOK Architecture — this is Lightwell, rising 30 stories in Kansas City's Financial District. You step into a hotel-style lobby, then into the expansive lounges maintaining that polished atmosphere. Onward, private offices fuel the focus. The teams can work in peace and quiet, then move to one of the conference rooms for brainstorming, strategy meetings, client calls, and so on. For recreation, a rooftop terrace gives members a spot to lunch alfresco with views over downtown, while on-site, first-class dining options plus a fitness center round out the experience. The building stays dog-friendly throughout, with a wellness room for a quieter reset, a parent's room for those balancing work and childcare, and an event space and classroom for larger gatherings or training sessions.

Reviews
Polite desk staff. Still working on our area. The parking garage has very low clearance!
Recently added on another office location for my business and would advise against renting here. The building itself is decent, but the WeWork floors are weirdly vacant, spaces are tight, my signage came in incorrectly and late, but my biggest complaint is with the management and specifically Dave Schmitz, the community manager. It is embarrassing for a company like this to employ someone who is so unprofessional and unqualified to manage the community. I will not be renewing, and I have talked to multiple tenants about this matter who Intend to do the same. See the email exchange below;
Just finished a two-day deep dive meeting with a new client for which I wanted the right balance vibe of playful and professional; creative and committed. Though I hadn't been to the latest wework location, I knew I could count on a stellar experience and was again delighted by every attentive detail. From the welcoming team (Kyle, David, MaryKate - luv you already) to the on-tap kombucha and ready coloring books and games. I was so excited to visit the second day, and that's a tribute to the energy of the space. I once worked with Steve Jobs' facilities guy. And what I loved about his work, is that he created work spaces where teammates could find whatever they needed to rejuvenate at any time. WeWork has captured this notion with nooks, crannies, board games, refreshments, conversation-starting props, and privacy booths. I don't need meeting space often, and I don't often need to work outside of my comfy home office. But when I do - there's only one place I'd rather be. Terrific to now be able to pop in without ongoing membership for a day of wework vibing or the perfect place for my clients and me to be brilliant. Thanks to all who make this so.
Great location! Thanks to Kyle

For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.
On the other hand, private offices are best suited for focused work and private interactions. They're ideal for solo workers as well as teams seeking a dedicated space, shielded from distractions.
Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.

Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with WeWork Companies LLC ILS, who is more than happy to help out.
