Pontiac, MI, August 20, 2020: As businesses and employees around the world adapt to workplace changes, coworking spaces are emerging as a flexible solution for work-from-home employees and as satellite offices for larger corporations. Main Street MI Coworking & Offices has been operating these flexible spaces in Michigan for the past two years and is now opening a new location in downtown Pontiac.

​

“Coworking spaces are expanding beyond the original base of entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses and quickly becoming a go-to solution for companies of all sizes”, says Brandon Still, founder of Main Street MI, “the mix of creative professionals and solopreneuers working side-by-side with employees of more established businesses is creating new and exciting opportunities”.

 

Coworking, which can be broadly defined as a group of people sharing office space and amenities to keep costs low, has been around in various forms since the early 1990’s. In recent years, these spaces have grown more popular, with an estimated 19,000 spaces worldwide.  Amenities such as high-speed internet, conference rooms, networking events, coffee and snacks, and 24/7 access attract members to these flexible workspaces.

 

“Our goal is to positively contribute to the remarkable entrepreneurial ecosystem that is already present in Pontiac”, says Still, “there is an incredible atmosphere and energy in downtown and we are already getting an outpouring of support from the local entrepreneurial community”.

 

In addition to shared space options, Main Street MI Coworking at Riker also offers members private offices and private conference facilities.  New members are already working on the space and anyone interested in learning more about the facility or scheduling a tour is encouraged to visit www.mainstreetmi.com/pontiac or call 248-965-4936.
