Remote workers, freelancers, startups, small business owners, and teams from larger companies who need flexible workspace. If you want an alternative to working from home or coffee shops, coworking is for you.

High-speed WiFi, along with access to common tables, soft seating areas, kitchens, phone booths for private calls, and unlimited coffee. Plus access to a community of professionals across multiple markets.

Yes. Depending on your membership type, you can work at any CENTRL Office location across our markets—Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Sacramento.

No reservation needed for open seating in our coworking areas. Just show up during business hours (9-4, M-F) and find a spot that works for you. If you need a private office or meeting room, those can be booked in advance.

Our coworking spaces are accessible during standard business hours, Monday through Friday 9am-4pm.

Coworking gives you access to shared workspaces—open seating where you can sit anywhere available. A private office is a dedicated space with a door that’s yours alone (or for your small team). Private offices offer more privacy and consistency; coworking offers more flexibility and lower cost.

Yes. If you have a FLEX Plus membership or a day pass, you can book meeting rooms for client meetings, and our coworking areas are professional enough for casual client conversations here and there. If you meet with clients regularly, you might want to explore our private office or dedicated desk options. We’re happy to share our Guest Policy with you if you’d like more information. Just ask!

A private office is a furnished, dedicated space just for you or your team, with access to all the amenities and common areas at your location.

Coworking gives you a shared seat in our common space, while a private office is your own dedicated room. Our larger Team Suites include a mix of small internal offices, collaboration spaces, and open desk areas.

Every private office comes furnished with large desks and ergonomic chairs, along with access to high-speed wifi, coffee and tea, printers, phone booths, kitchens, and on-site support staff.

Great question! While some people compare office options by cost per square foot, that metric doesn’t reflect the full value of what you’re getting with us. Our Team Suites provide not only a dedicated workspace, but also access to our full suite of amenities—including meeting rooms, mother’s and wellness rooms, reception and lounge areas, outdoor seating, and more (varying by location). With longer-term stays, the total cost is often comparable to a traditional lease once you factor in everything you’d otherwise need to pay for separately. Plus, when you consider the time and effort required to find, build out, and manage a traditional office, the value of an all-in-one solution like ours becomes even clearer. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive workspace that supports both the functional and day-to-day experience of your team—delivering far more overall value than square footage alone can measure. Interested in a full breakdown? Our team would be glad to walk you through it.

Absolutely! We’re 100% flexible and happy to tailor the furniture setup to your team’s needs. Need more than just desks and chairs? Prefer fewer items? Interested in soft seating or decorative touches? Just let us know—furnishings can be adjusted to match your ideal setup. Please note: your total investment may vary depending on your selections.

Internet is like oxygen for your business (and ours!), so we take it seriously. Most enterprise members choose to use our in-house internet, with ultra-fast speeds, redundant connections with alternate providers, dedicated wired and WiFi connections, VPN, and customizable bandwidth packages to suit your team’s needs. Specific offerings may vary by location. If you prefer to bring in your own internet provider, we’re happy to discuss those options too.

We believe in keeping billing clear, simple, and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. You’ll receive a monthly fixed fee for your membership and a breakdown of any additional costs that may have accrued each month, along with a summary of one-time expense items.

We design all of our locations with privacy and security in mind, including features like siloed internet connections, secure keyfob entry, optional frosted windows, on-site building security, ambient music for sound masking, and more (varying by location). Need additional support? We’re happy to work with you to meet your specific requirements.

We offer a range of options, but enterprise suite agreements typically range from 1 to 3 years.

We encourage you to make the space your own. If you have a vision in mind, our in-house design team is here to help bring it to life. We’re also happy to assist with installations like shelving or TVs, just note that additional fees may apply for those services.

A virtual mailbox gives you a professional business address at a real location where you can receive mail and packages without renting office space. Instead of using your home address for business, you use a CENTRL location address.

We provide you with a real street address at one of our CENTRL locations where you can receive mail and small packages. We accept deliveries from all major carriers and couriers during business hours. Simply stop by your location between 9am and 5pm on weekdays to collect your mail—no appointments needed.

Virtual mailboxes are ideal for freelancers, small business owners, startups, and established companies opening locations in new markets. Anyone who needs a professional business address without renting physical office space can benefit.

You can start using your CENTRL address as soon as your 1583 form is completed and your membership is accepted and activated.

Yes. We charge a one-time $45 set up fee for all Virtual Mail products.

All memberships are billed on the 1st of the month. Package handling and mailing services may incur additional fees.

A day office is a private office you book one day at a time, 9am–5pm on weekdays. A monthly private office is a dedicated space that’s yours to keep—same great bones, longer commitment.

Book a day office when you want a door you can close—interviews, client conversations, or serious heads-down focus. A day pass gets you a seat in our shared coworking space, which is perfect when you’d rather work around other humans.
