WHO WE ARE

WE’RE A NEIGHBORHOOD COWORKING SPACE

We mean that literally. We’re a group of local residents with deep roots in the Temescal community. We own homes here. We’ve raised kids (and dogs and cats) here. A number of us work here.

Long before we went into business together, all of us had been struck by what was then a dilapidated warehouse with lovely bones, languishing at the end of our block. We pooled our money, purchased the building, and made an investment in ourselves and our neighborhood. After more than a year of restorations, we opted to turn it into a coworking space suited to Temescal, with all the modern amenities such businesses require but with a local purpose and personality.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

We feel lucky to be a neighborhood coworking space in Temescal. The district has become a leader in the Oakland renaissance through its eclectic eateries, craft breweries, and thriving arts scene. It even has its own tool lending library — one of the few in the country.

Within walking distance are dozens of cafés, shops, bars and restaurants that have made Temescal one of the most vibrant districts in Oakland.

OUR MISSION

Create an inviting, productive and creative environment where folks respect one another and have an opportunity to network.

OUR VALUES

Welcoming.
Of service.
Productive.
Responsible.
Creative.
Trustworthy.
Bringing people together.

We like to think Temescal Works is more than just a place to work. It’s where people find and create community, gather and celebrate, and can be inspired, creative, and productive.
