There was something Switchyards wanted that didn’t exist in the world. Essentially, they like working and meeting in coffee shops, libraries, and hotel lobbies. But they wanted all the things they love best about each to be under one roof.

So, Switchyards made it. And they called it a neighborhood work club. They tuck these clubs deep into cities’ iconic neighborhoods—where people actually live and want to spend time. Historic. Walkable. Convenient.

It’s the first of its kind, built for the way work is changing now. A third place for work, a gym for the mind. They are the world’s first.
