First coworking space in Montreal, Station C, opens (11)
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 $130.
I am currently at the place, which was just renovated, repainted in red and white, with new furniture, and it looks great. They’ve got also a nice set of sofas and bean bags. It’s definetely a better place to work than being in a coffee place/library/home. It will be interesting how the dynamics will be here in the upcoming weeks.
Flex plans are Flex 14 (130$) for…. 14 hours and Flex 28 (215$) for 28 hours.
ok. i don’t know why i got the 20 hours in mind.
just corrected. thanks patrick.
Congrats Patrick and Daniel - although very valuable to Montreal, something like this is not easy to pull together. Well done to you both!

The space looks great! Félicitations, Patrick et Daniel.
Great! This is just footsteps from Mystery School, my loft in the Mile End. I can’t wait to see Station C.
Congratulations, Patrick + Daniel!
