Urban Co-Works, a premier coworking space provider, is thrilled to announce the opening of its newest location at 98 Lower Westfield Road in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This expansion marks the third location for Urban Co-Works, which began in 2017 in Schenectady, NY, and opened its second location in downtown Scranton, PA, in 2023.

“Holyoke is a vibrant city with a growing community of professionals and entrepreneurs in need of flexible, collaborative spaces to work and thrive,” said Jeff Goronkin, CEO of Urban Co-Works. “Our team is excited to bring the Urban Co-Works experience to Massachusetts. We look forward to contributing to the city’s economic development and offering a space that inspires creativity and connection.”

The new Holyoke facility offers a state-of-the-art coworking environment featuring 55 private offices, three meeting rooms, an expansive event area with a fully equipped kitchen, and a coworking section with 20 workstations. Members will enjoy 24/7 access with a keyless entry system, free onsite parking, printing services, and complimentary beverages including coffee and tea. Conveniently located near some of Holyoke’s best shopping and dining options, the space is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and professional growth.

Goronkin shared his vision for the new location: “Our goal is to create an environment in Holyoke that mirrors the success we’ve had in Schenectady and Scranton. We want to be a hub for business development, networking, and professional events. Urban Co-Works has always been about building strong communities, and we’re excited to bring that mission to Holyoke.”

Ned Barowski, owner of the building at 98 Lower Westfield Road, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “We’re thrilled to welcome Urban Co-Works to our space. Their presence will foster a vibrant professional community in the region, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll have on Holyoke’s business ecosystem.”

New Downtown Scranton Coworking Space Now Home to Tech Companies, Non Profits, Consultants, Remote Workers and More.

Urban Co-Works is proud to celebrate its first year of operations at 116 North Washington Avenue in downtown Scranton. This industrial-chic coworking space has become a vibrant hub for businesses, non-profits, consultants, remote workers, and others embracing flexible work styles.

“Since opening in December of last year, we’ve welcomed a diverse group of professionals to our space,” said Urban Co-Works CEO Jeffrey Goronkin. “Our members include attorneys, healthcare professionals, digital marketing consultants, and more. Companies such as PennFoster, Corning, Giga Power, and Intuit have also joined us, making Urban Co-Works a true melting pot of talent and expertise.”

Over the past year, Urban Co-Works has grown to include more than 80 businesses, offering flexible office solutions tailored to their individual and corporate needs. “Whether it’s a full-time office membership or occasional use, we have affordable plans to fit every professional’s needs,” Goronkin added. Unlike traditional office leases, Urban Co-Works offers month-to-month memberships and a host of amenities, including high-speed internet, fully furnished offices, complimentary beverages, printing services, and more.

Nicole Reyes, CEO of Insight Marketing Executives said, “We chose to establish our office at Urban Co-Works because of its vibrant community and flexibility. Over the past year, we’ve seen firsthand how this space supports our entrepreneurial drive to grow. Access to shared spaces like meeting rooms, the coworking area, and other amenities has been instrumental in scaling our business. We also enjoy the opportunities they make to build valuable relationships with other like-minded professionals.”

Jacquie Pershing, Licensed Clinical Social Worker said, “Starting my private practice, I knew I wanted a space that would keep me connected to other professionals—because let’s be real, private practice can get a bit lonely sometimes! That’s when I found Urban Co-Works, and I couldn’t be happier. The people here are so friendly, and I absolutely love the opportunity to network with other professionals. I look forward to engaging with them throughout the day and breaking up my routine with light, casual conversations. Whether it’s chatting about the weather, swapping recommendations for new movies, or hearing about the latest hiking spots, these little coffee breaks in the morning are a highlight. My office space is perfect, and the whole atmosphere at Urban Co-Works just feels so welcoming. I always look forward to walking in and getting started!” 

The Scranton location was made possible through a collaborative effort with Mayor Paige G. Cognetti, the City of Scranton, and Charlie Jefferson, owner of 116 North Washington Avenue and Urban Co-Works.

“Urban Co-Works is committed to providing a top-tier workspace that fosters community and collaboration,” said Goronkin. “We are excited to offer professionals in Scranton a unique coworking experience designed to help them thrive and succeed.”
