ATLAS Workbase Adds 6,000 Square Feet to its Flagship Lower Queen Anne Location

ATLAS Workbase, the coworking company aimed at executive class/business users who seek a more professional shared workspace, announced today that it has completed demolition to add 6,000 square feet of floor space to its existing 20,000 square foot flagship Seattle facility at 500 Mercer Street in Lower Queen Anne/South Lake Union. The project, slated for completion by end of Q1 2018, has a 33% pre-lease commitment. Upon completion, ATLAS Workbase will occupy most of the C2 floor plate, above the QFC supermarket operated by The Kroger Company.

As part of the expansion, ATLAS Workbase will gain a private, secure 24/7 entrance at 5th and Roy, along with a third direct and secure elevator to the building’s underground parking. With 24/7 access, ATLAS Workbase meets critical demand from professionals and worldwide business users traveling to Seattle who require on-demand business services and spaces at any time; as well as other groups that seek meeting spaces for local community building and other non-work-related events.

“We are ecstatic about the success of our first facility, and eager to further accommodate existing and future members with a bigger and even more open space, and greater availability of our state-of-the art meeting options,” said ATLAS Workbase CEO Bill Sechter.

In addition to the physical expansion of its space, the look and feel inside ATLAS will be infused with full building transparency from Mercer Street through to Roy Street.

ATLAS Workbase, designed in conjunction with Gensler and Open Square, and created with partners including FedEx Office®, Steelcase and Philips Lighting, sets a new standard in flexible, high-performance coworking spaces intentionally designed for global and mobile workforces, and are created to enhance productivity and innovation in a modern and highly ergonomic setting.

As such, ATLAS Workbase marries a high-end work environment with a “Third Place” experience, in sharp contrast to established coworking spaces that generally cater to tech companies and whose focus is on creating a fun and highly social experience.

Additionally, ATLAS Workbase replicates the look and feel of high-end executive airport lounges or clubs complete with concierge services, pay-for-usage plans including single-day use passes, with an array of space options that meet short-term or long-term needs. It also offers flexible part-time rate packages. Users can upgrade their meeting space requirements depending on the needs of the day.

With its first facility launched earlier this year in Seattle, the company expects to announce several more facilities in Seattle, and throughout the Pacific Northwest as it begins its national roll-out.
