&CO 共享办公 | Rebecca Johnson | 2024 | 美国

&CO North is a new coworking space opening in September 2024 located in the heart of Jersey City’s Hamilton Park neighborhood at 220 9th Street. &Co’s first location opened in the area’s Paulus Hook neighborhood in 2019.

Owned by local real estate developer Silverman Building, &CO North is a community & design-driven workspace brought to life by multi-hyphenate restaurateur, artist & designer Rebecca Johnson’s creative vision. Offering a modern and flexible environment for up to 350 members, &Co is for creative professionals, startups, and small businesses. The new space is located just a stone’s throw from Hamilton Park’s verdant park within Silverman Building’s Swift & Co residences. Spanning two floors including a sprawling rooftop, the coworking space provides a variety of workspaces, including private offices, both dedicated and hot desks, in addition to collaborative communal areas. &Co is designed to foster collaboration and creativity, with amenities such as high-speed internet, meeting rooms, event spaces, a community kitchen and flex space perfect for fireside chats or wellness events. &CO is known to host networking events and workshops, making it the most attractive option for both individuals and teams looking for an inspiring work environment in Jersey City.

Local community and design is at the heart of &CO North’s aesthetic, led by Rebecca Johnson. The space features a harmonious blend of earth-tones with pops of vibrant hues, bringing the nearby Hamilton Park indoors. Johnson’s vision for the co-working space establishes a natural connection with the outside environment to evoke a biophilic feel, creating a dialogue between natural light and custom materials. Johnson utilized key pieces from contemporary American designers like Hannah Bigeleisen, Robert Suchrand, Juntos Studios, and Celine Wright of Swadoh to weave in modern elegance throughout. Her attention to detail is immediately apparent in the first floor lobby. The space showcases contemporary American designers in an environment influenced by 20th century Italian architect, Carlo Scarpa. The inspiration taken from Italian architecture continues into the &CO work space, defined by expressive, poetic, and radical elements intricately woven throughout. With a focus on the local community and talent, &CO North features local Jersey City artists such as Macauley Norman, Gionna Forte, Shamona Stokes and Max Budnick. Ceramics and tiles seen throughout are made by local ceramic artists at Betty’s, located right down the street.
