Proworking Works: The Top 3 Reasons Why Professionals Value Firmspace
We talk a lot about proworking on this blog: that is, working in a space that’s designed for serious professionals.
But what do people value most in a proworking environment? And why do they choose proworking over a coworking space or a traditional office?
To answer these questions, we went directly to Firmspace members. Here, we’ll share the top three reasons why professionals value Firmspace – straight from the people who prowork every day.
1. Peace and Privacy
Many Firmspace members have tried coworking. They didn’t exactly love it. The constant chatter, movement, slamming doors – the experience was distracting, to say the least. And the spaces themselves felt far from private: a problem for people in law, finance, or other highly regulated industries.
Even traditional offices didn’t cut it. Dated designs and layouts often made for a stressful work environment.
But Firmspace is different. The reason: peace and privacy come first.
For starters, every member gets an office equipped with powerful sound masking technology (kind of like white noise machines, but less noticeable). The resulting quiet makes it a lot easier to get into a productive flow.
The details matter here, too. One member, for instance, was relieved that the doors didn’t slam at their Firmspace location. “We very much appreciate – I’m serious when I say this – the sliding doors that stop themselves and then close slowly. If you took that away, we probably would leave. It's that valuable to us because of how disruptive it was at [other coworking] locations.”
It’s also worth noting that every space implements robust security and privacy measures. At the building level, that means around-the-clock security personnel and surveillance cameras. And at the office level, that means keyfob-secured entry, lockable doors, and frosted glass windows.
The bottom line? For Firmspace members, proworking feels peaceful, private, and secure – all the right conditions to get serious work done.
2. All-Inclusive Amenities
At Firmspace, amenities mean more than coffee (although there’s plenty of that, too). Every membership comes with access to…
Upscale, fully furnished offices and suites.
Spacious conference rooms.
Helpful front-desk services: mail and package handling, notarization, document witnessing, etc.
Secure, high-speed wifi (with ethernet and printing included).
And that’s not to mention each building’s individual amenities, from fitness centers to rooftop patios.
Firmspace’s enhanced focus on hospitality and quality is also second to none. One member described the Firmspace staff as “an extension of [their] firm.” That level of service is something many members don't even realize how much they appreciate until they sign a traditional office lease.
The overall experience gives folks more time and energy to focus on running their practice. What’s more, the membership itself feels like an investment in long-term success.
3. An Impressive Space to Bring Clients, Investors, and Partners
Most Firmspace members bring clients, investors, and partners into the office. But as one member put it, “I can’t have clients come in and see people playing ping pong and sitting on bean bag chairs.” Professionals need a space that’s built to impress.
Firmspace provides just that. A lot of what we’ve mentioned so far plays a role: helpful front-desk staff and upscale furniture create a welcoming atmosphere. They also communicate sophistication and seriousness. That’s key for building trust.
But there’s also the curb appeal to consider. Every Firmspace location is centrally located, often in stunning skyscrapers. According to one member, the address alone adds prestige to their business. And the environment makes their operation feel bigger – even if they’re only a one- or two-person team.
By working at Firmspace, members have been able to cultivate an impressive professional image that helps them stand out from their competitors.
Where You Work Matters
These aren’t the only reasons why professionals admire Firmspace. But if there’s a through line across all our member feedback, it’s that where you work matters. In fact, the “where” has fostered a strong sense of connection – both to the Firmspace brand and to the community of serious proworkers.
