This spring, The Cordish Companies will open their third collaborative flex workspace community for Spark Coworking on the ninth floor of The PwC Pennant Building in Ballpark Village.
Spark St. Louis comes to St. Louis on the heels of its 2016 flagship location, Spark Baltimore, in the heart of downtown Baltimore, Md.; and Spark KC, which recently opened in the fall of 2020 within Two Light Luxury Apartments in Kansas City Mo.’s Power & Light District.
The coworking community will be operated in partnership between the St. Louis Cardinals and Spark Coworking.
“We are thrilled to add Spark St. Louis to the evolving and growing community in Ballpark Village,” said Bill DeWitt III, president of the St. Louis Cardinals. “Spark will be an ideal collaborative workspace for local residents, nearby companies and the entire St. Louis entrepreneurial community.”
The 30,000-SF workspace will provide companies – from entrepreneurs and startups to established businesses seeking alternative collaboration space – an affordable and efficient way to conduct their businesses and engage their teams. The space will feature dedicated and nondedicated workstations, 80+ private offices and five suites. In addition to monthly memberships, Spark will also offer daily passes.
“Our vision for Spark Coworking is to provide the local entrepreneurial community with an affordable, appealing and flexible way to locate and grow their businesses,” said Shervonne Cherry, director of community & partnerships for Spark Coworking.
Spark St. Louis shares the same commitment to become an integral part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of St. Louis and the state of Missouri with a focus on economic development and providing first-class amenities to its members.
"We are very excited about the addition of Spark St. Louis to the tenant list at Ballpark Village,” said Otis Williams, executive director of the St. Louis Development Corporation.
Spark’s unique location in Ballpark Village provides an exciting opportunity for supporting the global shift in how people work and live.
