Note: We've added additional coworking options to this list since first publishing.
Starting a business in a garage is so 1970. These days, your first office space is more likely to be a coworking space, where you can share resources and pay for only the workspace you need – a first-come-first-serve seat at a table, a dedicated desk or a private office.
Most of these spaces offer similar amenities – conference rooms, common areas, a physical mailing address, a printer, Wi-Fi, coffee, various treats and, most importantly, a community. It’s this built-in source of inspiration, ideas and collaboration that truly makes coworking work.
Many of our top 14 15 workspaces have other locations but, if you’re in Dallas, here’s where you should start your startup:
Hana offers flexible workspace solutions including flexible private offices, hourly on-demand meeting rooms, and premium coworking spaces.

Shared Workspaces, starting at $270/month
Private Team Suites, contact for pricing
On-Demand Meeting Rooms, starting at $25/hour
