RYE, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- New York based Serendipity Labs Coworking announced today that it has signed a lease with Carr Properties for 19,000 square feet of new Class A office and retail space bringing its upscale workplace-membership offering to the DC area, in downtown Bethesda, Maryland at 4500 East West Highway. Just steps from the Bethesda Metro Center, Serendipity Labs members will also have private access to a vibrant worklounge, labcafe and spectacular rooftop event venue.
The Bethesda location will be the eighth for Serendipity Labs, making the company one of the fastest growing national coworking networks. The company offers premium workplace memberships that include day passes, coworking, full-time dedicated private offices or team rooms for companies needing project space for up to 20 people.
Serendipity Labs is a different kind of coworking provider. As an upscale, lifestyle brand, it empowers its members with access to a thoughtfully designed work environment that is infused with hospitality and energy. A full schedule of meetups and events, like the recent members-only Serendipity Labs Tesla test drive day add to the opportunities for social connection.
"Coworking isn't just for startup teams and millennials anymore," says John Arenas, CEO of Serendipity Labs. "Our brand attracts mobile, independent professionals from companies of all sizes, stages and industries. Although 20% of our members are start-ups, 35% are independent and about 45% are trusted employees of established companies." Arenas goes on to explain that there is a growing phenomenon of employers offering workplace memberships to attract and retain high caliber employees who are demanding more flexibility. "Another striking difference from other coworking is that over 40% of Serendipity Labs' members are women, more than double the industry average."
Serendipity Labs takes security and confidentiality seriously. Its locations can even accommodate the strict security and compliance requirements of its members who work in the healthcare, financial services, and others with high security standards. "The private offices and team rooms are also designed and constructed so that members won't overhear the conversations in the next office, or perhaps more importantly, will never be overheard."
The Serendipity Labs expansion includes urban and suburban locations in New York, Connecticut, Northern New Jersey, Florida, Chicago, and now, the DC metro area. With the content-rich Serendipity Labs mobile app, workspace and meeting space can seamlessly be reserved in any Serendipity Labs network location and billed to the member's account, without the member ever needing to produce a credit card. For its Bethesda coworking location, Serendipity Labs is offering a thirty-day risk free trial coworking membership, and preopening specials for offices and team rooms.
