Women-Only Coworking Space ‘The Wing’ Coming To Williamsburg

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — A women-only coworking and community space announced it will open a new location in Williamsburg just months after launching its first Brooklyn location in DUMBO.

The Wing will open six new locations in cities across the globe, one of which is a space in Williamsburg that has not yet been chosen, organizers said.

London, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle will also be getting outposts of The Wing, a spokeswoman told the New York Post.

The Wing recently took over a multi-level space inside the former cardboard box factory in DUMBO and turned it into their third pink workspace in the city and the first in Brooklyn.

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

The Wing typically charges between $215 to $250 a month for membership that includes access to cafes, secret phone rooms, showers, a full-service bar and an all-female library.

The Wing, founded by Gelman and Lauren Kassan, first opened in Flatiron in 2016 then expanded to SoHo in 2017.

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.
