I knew the Malin Flatiron was the one within an hour of touring the space. I can honestly say it’s the best coworking space I’ve ever been to (and I toured quite a few coworking spaces!!)
The community here is exceptional. Everyone is friendly, ambitious, and genuinely interesting. It’s one of the few workspaces where it feels effortless to strike up a convo in the kitchen with someone new and people really engage with you. There’s a warm and open energy in the space that’s really hard to find elsewhere.
The space itself is stunning. The design, the furniture, the lighting... everything feels elevated, intentional, and incredibly comfortable. It’s the kind of environment that makes you want to come into the office and be productive. I’ve worked out of a lot of co-working spaces, and none have felt as thoughtfully put together as this one. I'm personally a 4th floor fan but the 5th floor is also really beautiful with it's open skylights.
The snacks deserve their own paragraph. Banana bread in the mornings, afternoon treats, and the legendary Wednesday cookie.. I don’t know what they put in them, but they’re the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. They disappear within minutes because everyone loves them so much.
And the front desk team is truly the heart of this place. Jana (the office manager), Diana, Ethan, Torin and Kristen are all so down-to-earth, fun, friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in making the space wonderful for members. Special shoutout to my girl Kristen, who is one of the warmest, funniest people you’ll ever meet. She puts so much thought and creativity into building community and hosting events (Jeopardy night is iconic!). Not to mention her wicked sense of humor (her band name is The Women’s National Hockey League and not a single member in the band plays hockey). Plus, she plays the harmonica and guitar *at the same time*! Can you save some talent for the rest of us Kristen?
It’s clear the entire team truly loves what they do, and it makes a huge difference. The Malin Flatiron is beautiful, yes, but it’s the people that make it feel special.
Could not recommend it more!
