Hi All,
Recently a shopping mall realtor approached me about opening a coworking
space in their closed gaming zone/internet cafe. I'd love to hear opinions
about this, pros and cons. Before you completely ignore this post as coming
from someone who is clearly not from the same coworking

Hi All,
Like Susan, I have an early bird ticket to Coworking EU in Lisbon that I
can't use as well, so now if there are TWO of you who want to go together,
you can!

I would think security and noise would be the biggest concerns, after
little to no community building. Sure, there's ample parking and food and
shopping in the building, and I see your argument for shaping the human
experience of the mall experience, and I love to see people thinking of

I know that we looked at a mall location near the HiVE in Vancouver at one
point because this particular mall had ridiculously cheap lease rates but
we kept coming back to access. The mall itself wasn't a bad location. It
had lots of exterior windows in the commercial units, which was awesome and

The Pitch (summary):

thank you alex that helped a lot, but my questions were framed not just on
the aspect you answered in the thread you shared but also on terms of say:
how important are the interiors,
how well should the place be planned,
because i feel as these spaces are becoming a hub for creative fields say

My name is Wally Steadman and I am a Data Network Engineer. I live in
the Killeen/Fort Hood area of Central Texas, but i work remotely for my

concept of coworking because I would love to have a place
Good morning!
I'm the brand new general manager at the HiVE in Vancouver and I would love
an invite too. I feel like I have a lot to learn!
Cheers!

Honestly, if theft is a perceived problem in a coworking space - that space
isn't going to last. I could see this being a bigger issue for when you're
working outside of the office in coffee shops, etc... that's where I
usually hear of people getting their stuff jacked. Great idea - possibly

I think a mall could be a great space for a coworking community. Yes, it is
different than many coworking communities today but to many the mall is the
central part of their city or neighborhood. If you stick to true coworking
values, as you seem to do at Locus, then this could be a great

In all of the examples I've seen, the issue with zones in either direction is
that they inherently need to be enforced...which either doesn't happen or when
it does, people end up feeling slapped on the wrist (not a great feeling for
the enforcer or the enforcee).
Zones don't actually solve
Thanks, Mark! Didn't know about this. Interesting.

Hi Rachel,
These are good questions. I hadn't though through security much because I
haven't thought through basic design enough, but I guess security would be
constrained by how open the access was. If it's as open as a cafe, I
suppose people wouldn't be able to just leave their laptops on
Thanks for the reply, Craig. I had the wrong stereotype about mall pricing,
which is good to hear. I have to spend some time there and in the
neighborhood just to have a more realistic sense of whether there might be
some kind of cool community building within the mall. I maybe posted this
We've had a laptop stolen from our space. It took less than 15 seconds for
the thief to come in and wander away with it.
An iBeacon that would have alerted the owner wouldn't have been very
effective in this case - and, as I understand it, the beacon has to be very

Yeah, that's what I had in mind, a kind of satellite location. An
experiment to compliment the other spaces and learn from. Given that, the
limited hours don't bother me so much. It comes with the territory of a
mall space, and I also think this part of Europe is just more accepting of

Jasmeet, as an architect, this is a question we have to answer regularly. The
design of a space is important (both the interiors and space planning) but
whether it's more or less than something else, is impossible to answer. At the
end of the day, it's what you value. In my opinion, design is
Our silent room has come and go. At the begining very few people wanted
