Co-Working and Office Space

We're Building the Future of Work

COVID19 has accelerated and changed how we work. Companies and employees are demanding location flexibility but also miss the ability to connect with co-workers and other professionals.

Co-Working at thINCubator fills a key void for entrepreneurs and employees who may work from home but want or need occasional space for group meetings or who just want to have a professional working community.

We have multiple Co-Working plans, and new private offices available for individuals and small groups that give access to our facility, copy/print services, conference rooms and more – and for existing businesses, we’re happy to speak with you about larger plans to give your staff workplace flexibility. Let’s build the future of work in Utica.

Memberships start at $100/mo per person and Private offices at $400/mo
