Station C is Montreal’s new coworking space, and it finally opens today. It’s located 5359 St-Laurent, #430, and offers 16 working stations for freelancers and consultants, mostly graphic designers, web entrepreneurs, coders. The space also has a meeting room, a conference room, a bar, a lounge area and various utilities like wifi and a shared printer.

The project is the brainchild of Patrick Tanguay and Daniel Mireault, who started thinking about the concept 2 years ago, and who wanted to offer a “professionnal” alternative to coffee shops for freelancers.

In practice, members can be either residents, which mean they will have full access to the space, with a permanently assigned desk, or they can also be “flex”, with a basic plan starting at 14h./week, which is charged $130.

I am currently at the place, which was just renovated, repainted in red and white, with new furniture, and it looks great. They’ve got also a nice set of sofas and bean bags. It’s definetely a better place to work than being in a coffee place/library/home. It will be interesting how the dynamics will be here in the upcoming weeks.
