Private-Office-Works-Like-You-Do

Dedicated Desks That Support the Way You Work

Remote workers benefit from having a dependable place to work every day. A dedicated desk provides a consistent setup with secure storage, reliable Wi-Fi, and access to meeting rooms, making it easy to stay productive without the distractions of working from home.

Freelancers, designers, writers, and other creative professionals benefit from having a workstation that stays set up exactly the way they need it. A dedicated desk offers the flexibility of coworking with the stability of a permanent workspace, making it easier to focus, create, and meet client deadlines.

Independent professionals and small business owners often need a professional environment without the overhead of a private office. A dedicated desk membership provides a reliable home base for daily operations, client meetings, and consistent productivity while keeping costs predictable.

Consultants, coordinators, and anyone with a mobile or unpredictable workday benefit from a workspace that is always available. A dedicated desk gives you a stable place to land between meetings, projects, or travel days without sacrificing your routine or productivity.

Dedicated Desk Memberships vs. Traditional Offices

Traditional office setups and DIY workspaces often require long-term commitments, upfront costs, and dealing with inconsistent work environments.

Testimonials

See What Our Members Say About Working at Gather

Alex Ternate

I love being a Gather member! There are private offices/suites as well as open co-working options, so it’s a great opportunity to meet and connect with other businesses in the area. With your membership you can work at any Gather location (there are several and they’re all beautiful), there are a bunch of included amenities, and the community managers work hard to make the spaces fun & engaging with events, competitions, happy hours, etc.!

Amani Matthews

I have been working at Gather (Scott’s Addition) for almost a year, and I love it more and more every day. The amenities and the atmosphere are unparalleled. The front desk staff is consistently friendly and always helpful. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else!

Ames Hart

Gather has given me the atmosphere, space and connections to expand my business and network exponentially over the past year two years. The community managers are always helpful, friendly and truly community minded. The amenities are a huge plus. I can reserve a conference room for a training; print what I need quickly and easily; and grab coffee whenever I need it. Being a member at Gather Midlothian is one of the best business decisions I’ve made.

Andrew Powers

Great place to have a conversation. Free Wifi. Private phone both for cell phone conversations. Rooms sound proof. Coffee shop and service convention inside. Free parking.

Armin Hartmann

Gather is an amazing co-working experience. The staff is super helpful and friendly and it feels like you belong. I love that the membership includes access to meeting rooms and there are fun monthly events to attend. It’s also a great way to meet like minded people.

Ashley Vice

Gather (Short Pump) is a great space with a cool environment. I had a private office for a year and it was a fair value given the location and amenities. It’s a short walk to ACAC for mid-day workouts and Whole Foods. The staff is responsive to issues and they do a lot to keep members engaged. As they say, it’s a great place to get work done, especially for fully remote people like me who get tired of the home office.

Carlene Jackson

Gather has been a place for me to genuinely grow my business. The amenities are incredible, the staff is helpful and it’s been wonderful being able to slowly increase my membership level as the business has grown. Oh and did I mention unlimited cold brew coffee?

Chris Ross

Had a sudden need for a meeting room. The prices were more than reasonable. Their community manager Nicolas went out of his way to make sure everything I needed was set up before my meeting. My expectations were exceeded.

Creagan B

“We love Gather VB it is an amazing space to work, meet clients and ‘gather’ with other professionals from many different industries. There is a good amount of collaboration over coffee in the main workspace then I retire to my private office to get some more work done. This space is so inviting to everyone. The staff is always helpful in everything from planning events with us to ensuring our clients find us when they show up! If you are on the fence about a great co-workspace. Just come check it out. You will not be disappointed.”

David Colbert

The staff here is truly exceptional; they are not only well-trained but also genuinely eager to assist anyone in need. Their warm smiles and friendly demeanor create a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The building itself is inviting, making it a pleasure to be surrounded by other professionals who share a similar spirit. It’s a comforting environment that fosters connection and support.

David DeBord

Our company relocated to Gather a few months ago and we have been nothing but satisfied being a member of the Gather Community. The atmosphere is casual yet professional, the managers know your name and are friendly and responsive to any request or suggestion we have. The casual environment of our large social area at Gather is first class and impresses our clients. The amenities are many: all sizes of conference rooms with reasonable hourly rates, first class copy machines, podcast recording room, bathrooms with showers, nursing mom’s room, attractive decorum, and much more). The security system and protocols are excellent with 24-Hour secured access to Gather. Plus you get the central location just off I-264, the views, a prestigious address and all the amenities of Town Center. I challenge you at least come and take a look! I do not think you will be disappointed.

David Fritch

Gather is INCREDIBLE! The facilities are first class and the staff is extremely helpful, friendly and highly engaged in helping develop community. They have a podcast studio which was important for me, and plenty of private spaces called phone booths if you don’t have an office but need to make a private call. There are so many awesome things like networking events, free headshots once a month, cookie hour…I could go on. If you are on the fence about getting an office…this could be your game-changer. Working here has already opened tons of new doors, helped me meet new clients and has just made working fun.

Eavan Mages

Just relocated to Richmond. One of my best decisions so far, signing up to work from Gather – Office Space and Coworking in Scott’s Addition. Wonderfully welcoming space, from the moment you walk in. Great set up with large kitchen, well stocked with coffee and fruit infused waters. Ample spaces to work from. Stylish design. I love the location too, accessible parking. I can’t say enough good things about it! I feel happy going to work!

Edward V Brown Jr

The manager makes all of the members feel comfortable and special. It’s a great friendly atmosphere where there’s a mutual shared interest that involves social interaction, genuine respect, and mutual support. Gather truly lives up to its name.

Forrest Clarke

Great alternative to WFH. Friendly staff, reasonable pricing.

Jeff K.

Gather is the best thing you can do for your career and Richmond networking in particular. Do you see the faces in local business news stories? They are in Gather every day. You will never blink when your monthly rent invoice arrives. The relationships you build and business you create is far beyond the cost of office, desk, or coworking space here. Join the Gather community, you will not regret it.

Jennifer Conde

I started as a member here in March of 22 and I was not sure what to expect. It has been an Fantastic experience. Celia and Oliver are exceptional addressing any needs and concerns. Gather has everything you need for business plus coffees, waters, Happy hours and special events throughout the month. I hope my new office never opens. This place is amazing.

Jessica Bedenbaugh

My GO-TO place for almost everything: small group projects, events, workspace, creative vibe reset, iced coffee addiction enabler, and more. Love the flexibility of the Gather spaces and the friendliness of both staff and members. Booking a conference room is simple for a few hours to have a focused, powerful session and dropping in to the communal space offers a great way to knock out work without the noise or worries of a coffee shop while still having the creative feel. (I dare you to leave without a selfie.)

A nod to the times we’re in: Gather has more than ample cleaning supplies available and has ensured that the space is comfortable, healthy, and accessible.

Jim Schrand

I’ve been a member at Gather Norfolk for the past month. Having an office outside of my house has increased my productivity and provided some much needed social interaction during the workday. The folks that run Gather have been incredibly supportive in terms of answering questions and ensuring that everything is working as expected. Not only do I have access to my own office, but also conference rooms, shared working space, printers, shredding service, coffee, cold brew, tea, daily happy hour, etc. I’d recommend Gather to anyone that is currently working from home!

Jim Washok

Gather West End is a beautiful addition to the Innsbrook office park—and an awesome **eighth** Gather location where members can get work done 24/7.

This newest space carries the familiar Gather DNA longtime members like me (6 + years) value and appreciate, yet **its** distinctive layout and styling give you fresh places to work, meet, present, and network.

You’ll find a mix of coworking setups to match any vibe—sit or stand, lean back or lean forward, right in the buzz or tucked into a quiet corner.

On the north side of the James River, West End finally brings a 30-plus-person multimedia conference room to members—an amenity Southside folks have enjoyed at Midlothian for years.

I’m also looking forward to using the media room, perfect for both podcasting and video shoots.

If you need a productive spot away from the chaos (or deafening silence) of home—and without the distractions of coffee shops, restaurants, or libraries—book a tour of Gather West End.

John L. Donelson

I actually had my business course graduation event at this location a few years ago and now I come back for a meeting with my accountant (J3 CPA), check her out.

I will definitely be looking into moving my business office location soon. This place was a good fit for a small business. The fruit infused water was delicious.

The only issue I noticed is parking. But what would you expect in downtown Richmond?

Jolinda Smithson

I have an office inside of Gather Arts District and the space is gorgeous and inspiring. It’s a short commute from my home in the east end of Richmond. The space is flexible, has lots of character and amenities and has indoor and outdoor spaces.

Juan Lujan

Great spot to work, Amber was a great help today. Highly recommended for entrepreneurship and SMBs!

Leland Gross

Gather has been an incredible place to work and meet with clients. The team—Lela, Tyler, and Sam—go above and beyond to create a welcoming and professional environment. They are always thoughtful and attentive, making sure that those who work here have everything they need. Whether it’s handling requests quickly or simply greeting you with a smile, their commitment to making Gather a great space is evident. The atmosphere is perfect for productivity, collaboration, and client meetings. I highly recommend Gather to anyone looking for a top-tier coworking experience!

Lornel Tompkins

Wonderful concept. Has significant office space and conference space. The front is spacious and was just the right size for the mingling event I attended. There was a nice size kitchen space. There is private space for studying, zoom calls w/o interfering with others. Membership entitles you to free use if the conference space. They will put your name & logo on your door. Highly recommend if needed.

Lyndsay Jones

I work from Gather multiple times a week. A good mixture of work zones and friendliness. Stocked kitchen and always someone to mingle and network with!

Mark Boyd

Came for a networking event and was greeted and made to feel like family by a community manager named Nick Monroe. This is definitely a great place to be as an entrepreneur or if you just want a nice quiet place to do remote work without all the distractions at home. Thanks Nick

Nakisha Fouch

I absolutely adore working from Gather; Newport News. The staff is great, the space is modern and comfortable, and the price, no matter what your office space needs, is totally reasonable. I started renting common workspace there as a PhD student and have continued my tenure at Gather telecommuting for my new employer. Not only did I get a super cool and easily accessible workspace at Gather, but I also got a professional and fun-loving community.

Queen Sharon

Love Gather! One of the BEST investments I’ve made in my business this year! Love the resources, events and the people! Whether you’re just starting out or needing to move your office out of your home for some reason Gather is the place to go! #GatherNorfolk is my home base, but Love being able to utilize all locations!

Rachael

We came to co-work in Norfolk and also to do a couple photo shoots for ourselves and clients. It’s a great location, and the space is great, organized and clean. Savannah and Hannah are so helpful and nice. They provided a tour, helped us with anything we needed and were very accommodating.

Highly recommend for co-working, meeting space, a photoshoot, or office space in Norfolk.

Raymond Tan

Very well-managed location. Not only is the property itself outstanding, the staff went out of their way to make my meeting trouble free. Will not hesitate to utilize them again when I am in town!

Rebecca Neill

I currently have space with Gather and it has been an amazing experience! My business has grown in just the last five months I have been with Gather. Gather has given me the opportunity to have Networking Event every month to not only promote my business but also to help others promote their business. The support I have received from the Gather staff and owners has been and is a large part of what has made my business successful.

Richard Franklin

The environment and the staff are all top notch. If you are looking for a coworking space this is the place to check out!

Rick DeFazio

I’ve been a customer of Gather Short Pump for roughly three years, and have been extremely happy. The overall space is perfect for our growing business operations, and the walkable amenities are tremendous. Gather’s community managers are professional, helpful, and great to work with on a daily basis.

Russell Bryant

If you are looking for a place to meet up with clients, have your own assigned desk space or ready to take the leap into your own office or suite of office, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. The edgy, welcoming vibe follows through from the welcome desk to the office spaces. Theres an energizing mix of professionals throughout that allow you the opportunity to network and collaborate unlike most industry specific office spaces in our market. The staff are friendly, helpful and courteous, the happy hours are amazing and the location is ideal, with free parking, and the Town Center night life is perfection for after work dinner or drinks.

Sam Edwards

Great space, convenient location, and amazing perks. My previous company had an office in the Short Pump location and after they moved office spaces I decided to keep my co-working membership because of how valuable it is. The networking aspect makes Gather a great place for professionals and the community managers make sure that any time a client is coming here they have a positive experience. A big shout out to Celia, Jolie, Susanna, and Ashley for always being willing to help, taking care of the space, and creating a fun and positive atmosphere!!

Sean Callahan

Wow this place is awesome! Great and friendly staff and a ton of amenities! They have the open spaces and also a ton of nice glass work spaces for monthly rental or daily rentals. The front area with coffeee, water and beer on tap for a happy hour is a great benefit for early morning kick start and unwinding with other business owners. I needed a one day rental for an office which was ONLY $55 – great internet and a fun community to be a part of and a classy, upbeat and a great palce to work and network! Highly recommend for anyone working from out of town, start up companies and professional businesses to work from!

Stephen Weir

We needed a temporary office for 2 months while our office was being renovated. The team was hospitable, met our needs exactly, I think I was set up and ready to work within 15 minutes. Was actually kind of sad to leave and go back to our regular office.

Sue Schick

I’m thriving in this highly productive coworking spot. I’ve had a dedicated office here for a month while my home is under construction. High quality customer service, lots of friendly people, super coffee, printing, shredding and cookies! Lots of natural light in a modern, comfortable (and clean!) space. Highly recommend – whether it’s for short term or long term.

Teunsha Vick

This was my first time in any Gather location and it was amazing! The staff was so welcoming, the decor was beautiful and the Wi-Fi was lighting speed! I love that it has a podcast room! I’ll definitely be happy to have meetings here in the future!

Winston N’Dow

1 gig of internet is standard. They have adopted a community style of cowork (visit the cowork spaces, then visit gather and you will see what I mean) it’s great for an introverted solopreneur like me!
