Part-Time Offices in Flatiron: Premium Private Space Without the Full-Time Cost

Your team doesn't work in the office every day, so why pay for it? When choosing a fractional office in Flatiron, you get all the benefits of a private office such as your own space, team privacy, and professional presence, but only on the days you actually need it.

Here's why hybrid teams, remote-first startups, and fractional executives choose part-time private offices near Madison Square Park over paying for unused space.

The Flatiron Advantage for Hybrid Teams

The Geography of Deal Flow

Location matters even more when you're only in-office strategically. When your team gathers for investor meetings, client presentations, or quarterly planning, you want to be at the center of Manhattan's tech ecosystem.

Our part-time office space at 115 East 23rd Street sits at the gravitational center of New York tech:

Tech Companies Within 0.5 Miles:
- Ramp - the fastest-growing fintech in America chose Flatiron for a reason
- Peloton, SeatGeek, Dropbox, theSkimm - all built their empires in this neighborhood
- Dozens of Series A-C startups you've never heard of...yet
Major VCs in the Flatiron & Union Square Area:
- Union Square Ventures - Twitter, Coinbase, Etsy backers
- Lerer Hippeau - NYC's most active early-stage fund
- RRE Ventures, FirstMark Capital, Primary Venture Partners - all within 15 minutes

The Strategic In-Person Day

When you bring your distributed team together for all-hands meetings, investor pitches, or sprint planning, Flatiron makes it effortless:

VCs can stop by for board meetings without crossing the city
Remote team members from Brooklyn, Queens, or New Jersey reach you in under 30 minutes
Client meetings feel professional and centrally located
Your team actually wants to come in

Average Commute Times to 23rd & Park:

From Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights): 25-35 minutes
From Queens (Astoria, LIC): 30-40 minutes
From Manhattan (UWS, UES, Downtown): 15-25 minutes
From New Jersey via Penn Station: 20-30 minutes

Translation: When your team needs to gather, nobody's spending 90 minutes commuting. You maximize in-person time.

Empowerment

Madison Square Park as Your Team Gathering Spot

The best team days don't happen entirely indoors. Madison Square Park, just one block from our part-time offices, becomes your extended workspace for the days you're together.

Use the park strategically on in-office days:

Walking team meetings after intense planning sessions
Outdoor lunch as a team
Fresh air breaks between back-to-back meetings
Informal 1-on-1s with reports in a relaxed setting

Lunch and dinner options for team gatherings:

Shake Shack (the original location)
Eataly when you want to impress visiting investors
50+ restaurants for team dinners and celebrations
Independent cafes for smaller group discussions

The hybrid team benefit: When you gather in person, the neighborhood supports meaningful connection and not just back-to-back Zoom rooms.

The Professional Address for Distributed Teams

Your company is remote-first, but you still need a legitimate Manhattan presence. "Resident at 115 East 23rd Street" on your website and correspondence signals:

You're a serious company
You maintain professional infrastructure
You're part of NYC's tech ecosystem

Post-work flexibility for in-office days:

Equinox, Barry's Bootcamp, SoulCycle nearby
Team happy hours at non-corporate bars
Easy access for clients or investors joining you for dinner

When you're pitching enterprise clients or institutional investors, "we have an office in Flatiron" beats "we're WFH."

Flexibility

Why Your Hybrid Team Needs a Part-Time Office

Hot-desking doesn't work when your whole team shows up. Full-time private offices waste money on days nobody's there. Part-time offices give you the best of both worlds.

Here's what changes when you move from booking day passes to having your own part-time office space in Manhattan:

Your Space on Your Days
Same office. Same setup. Just not every day. How part-time offices work at Resident:
- You select specific days per week (e.g., Tuesdays and Thursdays)
- Another compatible company uses the office on different days (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
- You have a professional private space when your team gathers
You're not sharing simultaneously. Instead, you're time-sharing. When it's your day, it's your private office. No other companies present.
Building Team Culture Without Full-Time Overhead
Remote-first doesn't mean culture-less. When your team gathers, having your own space makes those days count. A part-time office is where distributed teams build cohesion:
- Sprint planning sessions have dedicated space for collaboration
- New hire onboarding happens in a professional environment
- Quarterly offsites don't require renting external venues
In coworking spaces, your team is just visitors. In your part-time office, you're home but just not every day.

Cost Efficiency for Smart Teams

You need private space. You don't need it sitting empty 50% of the time.

Traditional private office problems for hybrid teams:

Paying $1,000-$3,000/month for space used 2-3 days per week
Empty offices on remote work days
Can't justify the cost when team is distributed

Part-time office solution:

Pay only for the days you use (40-60% cost savings vs. full-time)
Professional private space when you need it
No guilt about unused square footage

Perfect for:

Remote-first startups that gather weekly for team sync
Consulting firms with project-based in-person needs
Distributed teams

You get the credibility and functionality of a private office without paying for the days your team works from home.

Scalability for Growing Hybrid Teams

Your remote work strategy will evolve. Your office should evolve with it.

Most part-time office arrangements lock you in. At Resident, adjusting is seamless.

Start part-time, scale as needed:

Begin with 2 days/week while testing hybrid model
Upgrade to full-time private office if you go back to office-first

What this means for your business:

No commitment to a workspace model that might change
Adjust real-time based on fundraising, hiring, or strategy shifts
Keep the same office and community as your schedule changes

Your workspace adapts to your company's needs, not the other way around.

The Resident Difference for Part-Time Offices

You're part of the community:

Not treated as a "part-time" member
Full access to networking events and introductions
Community managers know your business and team
Strategic connections with other residents

Designed for real hybrid teams:

Easy for distributed teams to coordinate in-person gatherings
Professional environment for board meetings and investor visits
Better than booking WeWork day passes or hunting for conference rooms

This is what separates Resident from flexible office rentals: you have an actual office with a predictable schedule, not on-demand meeting space you're constantly coordinating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does office sharing work with part-time offices?: You select specific days per week (e.g., Tuesdays and Thursdays), and another company uses the office on different days (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday). You're never in the office at the same time, so it's true time-sharing. When it's your day, it's your private office.
What if I need the office on an extra day?: You can book additional days as needed based on availability. We charge a reasonable per-day rate for extra access beyond your regular schedule. You can start with 2 days/week and occasionally add days for special meetings or events.
Do I get 24-hour access?: Yes, but only on your designated office days. You have full 24-hour building access on the days the office is yours, allowing early mornings, late nights, or weekend work when needed.
How does mail handling work if I'm only there certain days?: You can use our 115 East 23rd Street address as your business address for all mail and packages. We receive and store everything securely, and it's available for pickup anytime, so not just on your office days. You can collect mail whenever convenient or have it forwarded.
What team size can part-time offices accommodate?: Our part-time offices accommodate 2-6 people depending on the specific office configuration. We'll help you find the right size based on your typical in-office headcount and collaboration needs.
Can I bring clients or investors on non-office days?: Yes. Even on days when the office isn't yours, you can use your included meeting room hours to host professional meetings. You just wouldn't have access to your private office on those days.
Is there a long-term commitment?: No. We can structure memberships on a month-to-month basis. You can cancel or adjust your schedule with sufficient notice. No long-term contracts or penalties for changing your hybrid work model.
Who are the other companies sharing part-time offices?: We carefully pair companies with complementary schedules and compatible cultures. All members go through our application process and share our give-first values. You'll never be paired with a direct competitor or company that could create conflicts of interest.
