BizTwo new(ish) places to plug in and work
With more than half of remote-capable workers now splitting time between home and the office, hybrid work isn’t going anywhere. That’s got us thinking about Greenville’s coworking scene, a growing mix of spaces for anyone looking to shake up their workday.
Here are two newer coworking spots to try this summer:- Roam Greenville One | 2 W. Washington St., Ste. 200 | Located in downtown's ONE building, Roam provides flexible coworking, private offices, and event spaces with modern technology and amenities designed for professionals, remote workers, and growing businesses.
- Harbor Coworking | 110-B S Pleasantburg Dr. | Opened by Lead Collective in 2025, Harbor Coworking features private offices, a media-friendly conference room, soundproof phone booths, and community workspaces. Plus, all profits from the space support Greenville youth in under-resourced communities.
