Work is not what it once was. Gone are the days when employees commuted to an office to grind through a nine to five day. While some people work in-person and others from home—or a hybrid of both—the number of companies and individuals utilizing coworking spaces is rising exponentially across the country. Between 2015 and 2022 alone, the number of Americans using a coworking space went from 542,000 to over one million. But not all coworking spaces are created equal. Many offer the bare minimum of working comforts—coffee machines, high speed internet, quiet cubicles—and little else.
Enter City House.
City House, which has coworking space and leasable office space in Baltimore, Maryland and Charleston, South Carolina, creates a space that is more than just a structure where you plug in a laptop. These are curated office experiences for employees who want to feel a part of the community where they live and work, and where a company can feel its standards are reflected in its surroundings. Nowhere is this more evident than at City House Six East Eager.
Centrally located in historic Mt. Vernon, City House Six East Eager is close to Penn Station, major business hubs, hotels, and dining options. It is also the former “city house” of wealthy Baltimore businessman, William Marburg, who made a fortune in manufacturing in the mid-1800s. The building was designed by architect Joseph Evans Sperry who also designed the Bromo Seltzer Tower.
The seamless integration of the historical and the contemporary is what makes City House so special. As one tenant noted, “I love that while other coworking environments often feel cold and impersonal, despite the grandeur of City House, it feels warm and welcoming.”
Most notably, City House is home to the oldest still operating, automatic residential elevator in the United States. The elevator, which is used daily by tenants and guests, was sensitively restored and features a mural by Baltimore artist Sam Robinson.
Among all the history and subtle elegance is everything a coworking and office space needs including flexible layouts, event and meeting spaces of various sizes, fully equipped conference rooms with television and tele-conferencing, enclosed outdoor meeting and gathering space, and personal lockers available to store belongings. There is also a long list of curated amenities including:
- Concierge management services
- Secure, touchless door lock entry
- Mail and package coordination
- Ionizing air filtration system
- Printing, copying, scanning, and secure shredding services
- Onsite Notary Public
- Three daily newspaper and magazine subscriptions including The Baltimore Sun, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Economist
- Access to the City House Café and Kitchenette, stocked with snacks and beverages
- Rotating selection of local kombucha and beer on tap
- Access to the City House wine & spirits cellar
Being part of the Baltimore community is integral to the City House experience. Tenants appreciate having access to the art gallery in the City House basement, which is currently showcasing an exhibit by local artist, Kelly Walker, and exclusive invitations to happy hours and community events. Through partnerships with local businesses, City House members receive special discounts.
