A developer in St. Paul is looking to take advantage of the shift to working from home with a new apartment complex in Egan that caters to remote workers.
Here’s Five Fast Facts on Remote Worker Apartments:
- 🖥️ Working Details - The complex will have 24 units and a retail space for a coffee shop with a drive through. Go downstairs for coffee, come back up to work. Later, rinse, repeat. It would use an existing vacant building.
- 💻 Workroom - Every one-bedroom apartment will have a work-from-home space, while two-bedroom apartments get two spaces. Workers won’t need to hog a corner in their bedroom.
- ⌨️ Meetup - The proposal also includes a meeting space and conference room. Which kind of goes against working from home, if you think about it.
- 🖱️ Design Shift - This is actually part of a larger trend across the country, since the move to working from home in 2020. Other complexes that are targeting remote workers include things like full furnishment, free high-speed internet, month-to-month leasing and soundproofed areas.
- 🖨️ Green Light - The developer plans to go in front of the city council for approval in January.
🔥Bottom line: Work From Home Apartments are a pretty smart idea, but it seems like developers are kind of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. And that’s totally fine! Best case scenario: it evolves into an attractive concept that offers people another option when it comes to living and working.
