Coworking space The Yard is expanding to DC

When coworking space The Yard announced new locations in Gowanus and Philadelphia, it teased further expansion into a number of new cities.

Part of The Yard’s rationale for its southeast D.C. location was the residential proximity, Levy said. There’s been a similar trend in Brooklyn, as several spaces, including Coworkrs‘ Gowanus location and BKLYN Commons, have built their locations with nearby workers in mind — those who can easily walk home rather than taking a long commute. That’s the direction in which coworking is headed, Levy said.

“Today, the work cycle of a day isn’t really 9-to-5,” he said.
