Get a Resident Day Pass Access in Flatiron: Full Access to Our Installations For a Day

What does a selective day pass at Resident actually include?

A Resident day pass is designed to give you a real sense of what it feels like to work inside a company club. It’s a controlled way for aligned builders to experience the space and community in a way that respects members and respects networking quality.

A selective day pass includes

• Access to open workspace and lounges based on availability. You can work from shared areas and move between zones depending on the day’s flow.
• High-speed Wi-Fi. The baseline is a setup that supports deep work, video calls, and heavy browsing without friction.
• Phone booths for calls. If your day involves calls, interviews, or client conversations, this matters.
• Complimentary beverages. Coffee and tea are part of the hospitality layer that keeps your day running smoothly.
• Basic office support. Standard needs like printing may be available depending on the day and setup.
• A community-first environment. The biggest amenity at Resident is who you’re working around. You will find ambitious builders who value and follow our give-first ethic.

What it doesn’t include by default

• Guaranteed meeting room access. If you need a meeting room, you should request it upfront so expectations are clear.
• Open public drop-in behavior. Resident is not a coworking cafe. The day pass is an invitation into a members-only environment with norms.

If anything is unclear like hours window, booth availability or meeting room access, it should be confirmed in your approval and confirmation details.

How to request a day pass at our Madison Square location and what we screen for

Resident is curated by design. That’s why our Day Passes are limited to preserve the environment members rely on to do their best work.

Who a selective day pass is usually for

• Founders, operators, and builders working on real projects
• Remote professionals who value a serious, respectful work environment
• Small teams evaluating whether Resident is the right long-term home

What we screen for

We keep it simple and human. The goal is to understand:

• Why you want to work from Resident rather than any generic coworking space
• How you plan to use the day. It can be deep work, calls or light collaboration
• Whether you align with the give-first culture and shared-space etiquette
• Whether the day’s capacity and community flow can support your visit

Resident isn’t on third-party day pass platforms

If you were to search “day pass Flatiron” and expect to see our day passes on platforms like Deskpass or LiquidSpace, you’re wasting your time. We intentionally don’t operate that way.

We removed day pass access from third-party marketplaces because random drop-ins are not aligned with a members-only community. When day pass distribution is open inventory, it becomes harder to maintain trust, consistency, and the quality of interactions that make the club valuable.

What to do instead

If you want to work from Resident for the day, request directly through Resident using our site, starting with our Membership form or ask your a person who’s already a member to invite you in.

But, why would you make so much effort trying to join our installations? Let us tell you why below.

How does Resident compare to other Flatiron coworking day passes?

Most day passes are transactional. It’s pay, enter, work, and leave. Resident’s approach is consultative. We prioritize fit, community, and the quality of the room.

Here’s a comparison you can use to decide if Resident is a fit for you.

What should you know before you visit for the day?

A great day pass experience comes down to small details. These are the ones that save you from headaches.

• Bring ID, laptop, charger, and headphones. Treat it like a real work sprint.
• Respect the space. Keep shared areas calm, and avoid taking over a lounge like it’s your private office.
• Know what your day needs. Decide your one outcome before you arrive, then structure your day around it.

At Resident, treat the visit like you’re stepping into a community, not a public drop-in desk floor.

Can a selective day pass help you decide if Resident is right for your team?

Yes, if you use the day like a fit check instead of a one-off. You should evaluate the following:

• Do you get more done than you would elsewhere?
• Does the space support deep work and the moments you need to reset?
• Do conversations feel relevant or random?
• Does the team help the day feel frictionless?
• Can you imagine your team working here consistently?

Now, after considering the questions above, you should also ask:

• What does a typical week look like for members?
• What community moments generate the best introductions?
• What membership path fits a team scaling from a few desks to a suite?
• How does Resident maintain community quality as it grows?

If the answer feels like Resident is the piece you’ve been missing to turn your ideas true, the next step is simple: go to our locations and schedule a tour with us.
