Community

The Green Garage is more than a coworking space. We’re a diverse and tight-knit community of professionals who find opportunities to help each other learn, grow, and succeed. Community care and connectedness are part of everything we do. Whether you’re looking for a professional service or referral, someone to listen to your next big idea, or something as simple as a charger for your laptop, your fellow coworkers will be there for you. And since we’re a community that celebrates the differences that make us stronger, you’ll be encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of the Green Garage. We were founded as a demonstration center for what sustainability in an urban setting could look like, and we are proud to operate at about 10% of the waste, water, and energy of a traditional office. We’re a triple bottom line business, meaning that we consider the environmental, economic, and community impact of every decision we make, and that we measure our performance along those same three metrics. By locating at the Green Garage, your business would have one of the greenest footprints on the planet, and would be participating in a concerted effort to achieve a more sustainable future for Detroit.

Strawberry Solar is a group of like-minded individuals working towards a better future for the state of Michigan and our planet. With an expertise in solar and battery storage, they help homeowners and businesses achieve energy independence and reduce their carbon footprint. Will Held and the entire Strawberry Solar team joined the Green Garage back in 2018 and, according to Will, they’ve “loved every minute! We started with a two-person office and have steadily grown into a six-person space. Along the way, the Green Garage has been there to offer everything we may need as a small business, and we are so happy to call the Green Garage our headquarters."

Kimberly Williamson is the founder and managing director of Simply Well Communities, a real estate development company committed to strengthening community health through the built environment. She has been a resident of the Green Garage since 2013, when she arrived with a seed of an idea to improve community health by focusing on people-centric, triple bottom line real estate development practices. “I really don’t have adequate words for all the Garage means to me," she says. "The support of this community has been invaluable to the growth of Simply Well—which now is a team of four! The Green Garage was a place where my idea was nurtured and encouraged with warmth and practical, hands-on business learning. At the Green Garage we have grown a sound, sustainable business and lifelong friendships."
