Why choose The Commons?
There
are other co-working offices in Calgary, and we are glad! Choice of
co-working space offers the opportunity for local entrepreneurs,
creators and innovators to find the right space for them, one that meets
their specific needs and aligns with their personality. So why choose us?
We have amazing members.
Share a space with exceptional people doing extraordinary things.
We have great partners.
As a community of local entrepreneurs, we want to support other local Calgary businesses. Therefore we partner with interesting and innovative businesses to bring great services to our members, to enhance events and to provide expertise and insight.
Our owners are invested.
The proprietors of The Commons are as invested as any other member in making The Commons the best work environment because they work there too!
We are in a central location.
We are located in the community of Ramsey which adjoins Inglewood and is a stone's throw from downtown. AND parking is free!
Boutique office space.
Our
office is in a rare vintage building and has been designed to be a
creative, inspiring place to work. Being boutique also means that The
Commons is small. And we like it that way. It is easy to get to know
other members. And because it is small you have a voice in the operation
of The Commons.
We are socially conscious
The
Commons endeavors to be a socially conscious business that recognizes
that individuals and businesses have the responsibility to champion
sustainability as a way of life. As a lifestyle at work we recycle,
compost, encourage paper-free communication and alternative
transportation.
In addition, a portion of profits from The Commons are used to support the Something Special Project.
We
are continuously refining and changing our practices to reflect new
knowledge. As a member of The Commons we encourage you to help us learn
and grow our environmentally and socially responsible practices.
Dogs are welcome.
The
proprietress is a proud dog owner who understands the importance of
bringing her furry friend Sherlock to work. The owners are also familiar
with the robust literature on the increases in creativity, productivity
and work enjoyment when pets are welcome at work.

backgrounds and interests in order to encourage networking and learning.

sophisticated environment, are creative or can appreciate creativity,
