Women-Only Coworking Space Opens In DUMBO

DUMBO, NY — A women-only co-working space and social club opened their first Brooklyn location in DUMBO Monday with a podcast recording studio and beauty room.

The Wing took over a multi-level space inside the former cardboard box factory at 1 Main St. and turned it into their third location of pink workspaces in the city.

"Expanding to Brooklyn was a no-brainer for The Wing,"Audrey Gelman, co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. "A third of The Wing’s current members call Brooklyn home, and it is consistently one of the most requested locations. "

The new location, which is open seven days a week, charges between $215 to $250 a month for membership and offers similar amenities to the company's two Manhattan locations spots like a cafe, secret phone rooms, showers, a full-service bar and an all-female library.

The DUMBO workspace also added a podcast recording studio, a wellness room, a vintage photo booth and a new retail space open to the public.

The Wing, founded by Gelman and Lauren Kassan, first opened in Flatiron in 2016 then expanded to SoHo last year. The company raised $32 million in a funding round led by co-working space giant WeWork in November and plans to expand to Washington, D.C. next year.
