Uncommon

1740 Broadway, 3rd Floor

Uncommon operates from its location at 1740 Broadway in Oakland, California, specifically on the third floor of a multi-story building. The workspace was opened in 2022 as part of an expanding network that currently includes multiple locations in California and Washington. This site has been designed not just for remote workers seeking traditional desk space, but also for professionals in specialized fields who require lab spaces. The surrounding neighborhood is characterized by a combination of commercial and residential properties, contributing to a vibrant community atmosphere that supports both work and leisure. Ample public transit options, including nearby bus and rail services, enhance its appeal for remote workers who prioritize accessibility.

Private Offices and Meeting Spaces

Uncommon provides an array of workspace options tailored to different needs. Specifically, the location features 28 dedicated desks and 9 private offices, designed to accommodate individuals or small teams of up to six people. For collaborative efforts, members have access to two meeting rooms, which are equipped with essential audio-visual technology to facilitate presentations and group discussions. The meeting spaces are furnished with comfortable seating, whiteboards, and large screens, allowing for effective brainstorming sessions and meetings. Additionally, there are five phone booths strategically placed throughout the workspace, enabling members to have private calls without disrupting others. This configuration encourages a mix of open and enclosed work environments, giving users the flexibility to select their preferred work setup.

The overall design fosters collaboration while also catering to those who need more privacy during their workday. Community-centric events and workshops are often organized, offering members opportunities to network and learn from each other. Such efforts help promote a sense of community within the workspace, adding value beyond just physical office space.
