Just two weeks ago, ATLAS Workbase opened the doors of its first workspace location in Seattle. Though the project just recently launched, it’s been in the works for over 3 years now. Bill Sechter, CEO of ATLAS Workbase, shared the process of developing the space and how ATLAS is hoping to differentiate itself from other workspace operators.
“It’s becoming very evident to me as we have gone through our soft launch that we are truly not a coworking space; we are working on trying to define the category we are in.”
The days of coworking being exclusively open and shared workspace environments are long gone. Nonetheless, the core offering of these spaces remains the same: a great place to work and a highly-engaged community. For Bill Sechter, this wasn’t enough.
“Basically we created ATLAS as a marriage between coworking (or what it’s evolved into) and the concept of work and play.”
