Common Desk has spent the last 14 years refining the qualities that make a workday efficient and enjoyable. Since our Texas roots took hold in 2012, we’ve delivered over a decade of coworking expertise to professionals across two states. In 2024, we brought our industry experience and enthusiasm to an untouched market and broke ground in downtown San Antonio at Travis Park Plaza. This past February, Common Desk – Travis Park Plaza celebrated its second birthday, commemorating two years of our coworking legacy in the San Antonio business sector.

Common Desk brings more than just desks to our members.
