Since 2014, I’ve tracked 52 different coworking spaces (not including spaces where one could “co-work,” but specific places marketed for coworking). As of May 2026, 25 coworking locations are open. Six locations have been around since 2014, including: Junction440 at Techtown, OmniCorpsDetroit, Grand Circus Co., Bamboo Detroit, Grand River Workplace, and Green Garage. These locations seem to have hit the bullseye when it comes to spaces, amenities, and pricing. They are all staples of Detroit’s tech and startup ecosystem. Bamboo Detroit has expanded multiple times since 2014 in Detroit, Royal Oak, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids. Grand Circus Co. was acquired and had a shift in some of its programming, but coworking remained.

There are six new coworking locations since the last updated I made in 2021, including: an additional WeWork location downtown, Jefferson Hub (coworking managed by Bamboo Detroit), Regus at RenCen, Detroit FinTech Bay at Techtown, The Michigan Central Mezz (only open to members) and Spaces also located downtown.

The pricing and accessibility of coworking is a real hurdle when thinking about what it takes to make it in the startup world. All but two coworking locations are outside of the 5 mile bubble of Greater Downtown. The monthly cost presented here is the minimum cost for only a monthly drop-in or “hot desk” to cowork. Coffee shops and public libraries function just as well as coworking locations at significantly less cost. Perhaps the future of the libraries could be to foster community collaborative spaces, pop-up cafes, and other amenities inside the library branches?
