...Just a few weeks after SoftBank’s investment, Shlomo Silber, the owner of Bond Collective, a New York–based co-working company, turned on his phone at the end of Rosh Hashanah to find dozens of his customers had forwarded an email from WeWork offering to buy them out of their leases and give them as much as a year of free rent...
"Here at Dwell, we’ve long adored Bond Collective. While we might be a bit biased—given that our very own New York office is sited in one of their stylish, community-driven co-working spaces—we were ecstatic to hear that the company has just opened a new location in Philadelphia as part of a national expansion. Based on the top floor of a historic Art Deco building in the heart of Center City, Bond Station House will likely take your breath away from the moment you step inside."
"...A New York-based firm plans luxury shared office spaces in the Loop and the Fulton Market district, betting that its hotel-like offering will stand out from the ever-growing crowd of Chicago competitors... Bond Collective will add almost 100,000 square feet of co-working space in Chicago by the end of the year, including a large space in the Civic Opera Building, CEO and co-founder Shlomo Silber said."
The company is leasing a 25,000-square-foot office building at 158 Lafayette St. in Soho and a 23,000-square-foot space in 276 Greenpoint Ave., an office building in Greenpoint. Shlomo Silber, chief executive and founder of Bond Collective, said the firm would use the spaces to cater to growing demand from larger tenants who want flexible offices with amenities.
He slept at the trendy Urban Cowboy bed-and-breakfast. He ate at Butcher & Bee and hit Motown Monday at The 5 Spot. And when his visit was through, Shlomo Silber felt confident that his quickly expanding New York co-working company would succeed in East Nashville.
"Shared office space provider Bond Collective has signed a 10-year, 30,000-square-foot lease at 609 H Street NE in Washington, D.C. for its first location in the area, according to a Bond Collective press release."
"The coworking boom continues in Philly, with the news that Bond Collective, a design-centric workspace company, will set up shop at the top of Suburban Station in spring 2018. Bond Collective is based out of New York, where it currently has five locations. It recently received $50 million to expand to 30 locations by 2020, and chose Philly as the first city for its expansion."
"Sophistication doesn’t have to be stuffy, and work doesn’t have to be a drag. That’s the mentality Elide Grabowski, Bond Collective’s director of design, kept in mind when detailing every inch of common area in the 40,000-square-foot space at 60 Broad Street."
"So far, Bond has leased the top floor of 20-story One Penn Center in Philadelphia’s Center City district, and aims to lease sites in Chicago, Washington and likely Austin, Texas, Silber told Reuters."
"...In the end, we found the best solution for our needs today: Bond Collective, a young and growing operation with four current locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan."
