Baltimore coworking guide: 21 spaces where you don’t have to work alone

Haven’t you heard? Silos are out and collaboration is in. We need each other to get by not just personally but professionally.

No entrepreneur or founder should be working alone. We know that from 15 years of multi-market coverage.

In Baltimore, there are coworking spaces all over and we’ve highlighted many of them over the years in roundups of such facilities, the last of which we did in 2022. While we did give you a few spots for snacks and Wi-Fi last year, you deserve an update.

So, our coworking guide is back! See what Charm City and the surrounding county have to offer and let us know if we missed by emailing us at baltimore@technical.ly.

Spark Baltimore

8 Market Pl., Inner Harbor

Spark Baltimore launched in 2016 and extended further into the Inner Harbor with Spark Flex. That space has housed offices used by tenants like The Baltimore Banner and Fearless (which also has offices in the main Spark building), although national Spark community and partnerships director Shervonne Cherry confirmed that the Spark Flex space was not yet open for coworking.

Nonetheless, Spark Baltimore maintains its coworking model and custom-built suites ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet or more at Power Plant. It spans six floors and features various events, as well as drinks on tap for those interested.

Cost: A day pass starts at $15, with rates increasing for other options. For more information, contact Maggie Terhune, senior community manager at Spark Baltimore.
