ALX Community
Alexandria-based shared office concept ALX Community finished its newest location on Old Town’s waterfront.
The homegrown and dog-friendly coworking brand opened its second location at 201 N. Union Street just north of the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria.
ALX Community’s waterfront location is two levels and features light-filled private offices, dedicated desks, and flex seating along with event and meeting space. The industrial-meets-mid-century style co-working space also features a dedicated conference center with flexible layouts for groups of 12 to 80 people for training, workshops, offsite meetings, and board meetings.
Unique for the offerings listed above, space also includes seven large private offices located in a separate wing geared towards lawyers, financial service providers and therapists who need more privacy.
Amenities include waterfront views, an outdoor patio, a wellness room and a Sweetgreen Outpost. ALX Community also hosts the TALX Speakers Series, monthly community giving projects and more. In partnership with The Art League, art is a common thread throughout the co-working space and features rotating works of arts by local artists like Noah, whose art comes from recycled and found objects,
“It was almost two years ago that we opened our first location, Founders Hall, with a dream we could offer more than just a workspace to small businesses, freelancers, associations and non-profits,” said Kelly Grant, Chief Operating Officer for ALX Community. “We envisioned a workspace that helped our members not only work and grow their business, but also network, learn, and have the opportunity to give back to the community they love. Thanks to our amazing founding members, that vision quickly became reality with huge participation in our community caring initiatives and community-building events. Their belief in our vision is what enabled us to grow and expand to where we are today. We are proud to support our members daily, as they support us.”
ALX Community opened its original location in April 2018 at 106 N. Lee Street in Old Town. ALX Waterfront is home to over 100 small businesses and has more than 250 members including entrepreneurs, small businesses, freelancers, financial professionals, associations and non-profit organizations.
