Hotspots for coworking

Coworking spaces have been sprouting for a few years in the pink city. Loved and sought-after by Toulouse’s nomadic workers, most are found in:

City Center: As expected, many coworking spaces, if not the majority, are located right in the heart of Toulouse. Around the Capitole square or near the Luciens Lombard docks: these are prime locations, accessible by transportation, and close to shops, bars, and living areas.
Compans: Located north of the city center, this business district is appealing due to the presence of numerous companies. Close to the center, it also benefits from advantageous public transportation.

Other districts like the Minimes also attract coworking spaces. A significant business center project is expected to emerge in the coming years. This is where we’ve set up some of our coliving apartments: a new way to experience community living in Toulouse while retaining one’s independence.
