The Benefits to Private Office Spaces

While most people in Honolulu know Hub Coworking Hawai‘i for our co-working spaces, we also offer the option of private office spaces. Catering to employers who want a dedicated space but may have half a workforce that’s remote, we offer members a chance to have an office that feels like their own – even if they’re not in it all the time. Our team sat down with Hub member and owner of accounting firm BCCA Brad Char to learn more about why he chose a dedicated office space for his team.

Here is what he shared:

Client Meetings and Room for Growth

“In the service that we provide, we are frequently interacting with customers via lunch meetings. While we liked having our own space, it felt very fixed,” said Char. “The Hub’s variety of office spaces allows us the flexibility to grow our team incrementally and interface with clients in a space that feels neutral.” 

Ease of Access and Amenities

Decked out with much more than your average office, The Hub offers access to complimentary coffee, tea, kombucha, a communal kitchen, plus showers and surfboard storage for those of us who greet or end the day by catching some waves. “There are a lot of additional things that we didn’t have prior, including much nicer amenities,” said Char. “For clients, coming here feels a lot more welcoming.”

A Space to Collaborate

Working with consultants and vendors? Onboarding new team members? The Hub is the perfect collaborative setting for people to jump right in. “Another thing I’m looking for in the near future is having an HR consultant to help with my company,” said Char. “I think The Hub would be a great place for them to come to when we have to meet.” After meetings, members can always return to the privacy of their office to follow up on immediate action items.

Location, Location

Our central location in Kaka‘ako is the perfect jumping off point in case you need to rush from one Zoom call to an in-person meeting in town. Forgot to pack lunch? We are within walking distance to some ‘ono local spots to grab a quick bite.

Whether it be coworking or working within the walls of your own space, The Hub offers the flexibility to fit your needs. Having a private office at the Hub allows you and your team to choose the working environment that best suits your business. Visit our membership page to learn more about packages and offerings.
