COWORKING
We’re a shared workspace for socially and environmentally conscious small businesses, nonprofits, remote workers, and independent professionals. Coworking at the Green Garage is rooted in community. By becoming a business-in-residence here, you’ll be joining a group of people who want to support each other’s work, make the world more sustainable in the way they work, and connect in a meaningful way to the city around them.
Located in the historic, walkable, and diverse Cass Corridor neighborhood of Midtown Detroit, the Green Garage is also a community within a wider community. Our members enjoy easy access to locally owned cafes and restaurants, independent retail, and some of our region’s vital cultural institutions like Wayne State University and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
We’re proud that our coworkers include people of varying ages, ethnicities, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. Wherever you come from, whatever makes you you, there’s a place for you at the Green Garage.
