Coworking Coming to St. Louis County

           

The HIVE@44 Business Coworking Community unofficially opened its doors on May 2, 2012. To celebrate the first Coworking Business Community in St. Louis County, we will be hosting a Launch Party, May 24th, 2012 sponsored by Charter Communications Business. The celebration will kick-off with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony enacted by the Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce.

              The HIVE @ 44 Business Coworking Community is a membership based workspace. Some of the amenities included are: access to workspace, high speed internet connection, office equipment, meeting rooms, training area, reception area, kitchenette, lounge area, and a Child-Friendly Romper Room for members and their guests. The HIVE@44 Business Coworking Community is not just an affordable workspace for small companies, home based professionals, startup businesses and other independent workers. We combine everything a company needs to run their business. We offer networking opportunities and business development in the form of workshops, seminars, key speakers and many other programs. These resources are inspired by member participation that is designed to increase entrepreneur knowledge, reputation, and build solid business relationships to create a thriving business.

            Cheryl Jaycox, co- founder states, “I like to compare The HIVE@44 Business Coworking Community to that of a health club or gym membership. Like a gym, you have everything you need to stay healthy and in good shape. We give a company everything it needs to grow their business and keep it healthy. Just like a gym, the more you participate in a coworking community the healthier and stronger your business will become.”

            The HIVE@44 Business Coworking Community is conveniently located for members and their clients At 1710 Fenpark Dr. Fenton, MO., at Hwy 44 and 270. It is easily accessible to Downtown, Chesterfield, Clayton, Westport, Ballwin, Kirkwood, South County, and Jefferson County. Memberships are designed for any stage of business with costs beginning at $50.00 per month.

            Coworking is not something new. It gained renewed popularity in 2008 with the tech community on the east coast and began growing rapidly in areas of high population, and high business start-up costs. It began to reach other business spheres besides the tech community as well. From just over 300 centers around the world two years ago, to nearly 800 today and still growing!

            The rise of the coworking popularity is fueled by a number of things. More women, freelancers, and solo entrepreneurs are entering the workforce. Also economic pressures from larger firms have increased the need for off-site employees to cut costs. In kind, technology has increased to the point we have become a mobile workforce and can work from virtually anywhere. This has created a greater demand for flexible work space. 

            Inspired by other coworking centers around the United States such as, Alex Hillman, of Philadelphia's Indy Hall, and Jerome Chang of BLANKSPACES in LA, The HIVE@44 will be the newest of a handful of business coworking communities in the St. Louis area.

            Coworking is not “just” about the workspace. Coworking is about actually working with other people with the same goals, the same concerns, and the same dream of owning their own successful and profitable business. It is about escaping the isolation and the distractions of working alone. It is about surrounding yourself with professional individuals who are striving to succeed, as well as motivating and inspiring you along the way. It is about building strong, lasting business and personal relationships with other members for solid referral generation. It is about community, communicating with peers and assisting one another to achieve your goals and aspirations for your business.

            Don Jaycox, co-founder, states “The current economic climate has changed the way people do business. Not terribly long ago, the only way to advance yourself in a business was to work for a large conglomerate and work your way up the ladder. Now, you have the opportunity to start your own company from your living room, however that is not the quickest way to being successful. The HIVE@44 gives you the infrastructure needed to see your business strive.”

            We encourage you to come to our Launch Party and see exactly what The HIVE@44 Business Coworking Community has to offer your budding venture. With our Coworking Opportunities the possibilities are endless!



            Coworking inspires and challenges you to do more, go further and think bigger!
