Common Desk has come to a new location. Today, we’re introducing Common Desk – S. Main Street in Salt Lake City, Utah!

Coming Summer 2024, we’re delivering our staple offerings of flexible, intentional, and engaging coworking passes to the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, and like the westward expansions of old, we mean to strike gold in the city of Sundance, towering temples, and unparalleled natural beauty. Keep reading to get a first look at this summer’s newest Common Desk launch!
Destination Details
Sandwiched between the Wasatch and Oaquer mountain ranges in downtown Salt Lake, 650 Main is a 10-story office tower with glittering glass windows, high-end finishes, and a striking view of the Salt Lake Valley. 650 Main is Common Desk’s third partnership with Patrinely, a Houston-based real estate firm. In the wake of successes like Common Desk – City Place and Common Desk – Westchase, we’re excited to breathe life into another office park alongside our partners at Patrinely.
Here’s the inside scoop: 650 Main sits 15 minutes from the Salt Lake City airport, making it the go-to hub for out-of-town professionals and local jet setters looking to stay productive amidst hectic schedules. It’s strategically placed a handful of steps from the TRAX light rail, Interstate 15, and a slew of downtown restaurants and shopping. 650 Main is also the first tower in Salt Lake to receive the WiredScore and LEEDGold certification, making it an innovative, technologically sophisticated building for Salt Lake’s dynamic workforce.
From there, 650 Main’s designers ensured that the building reflects Salt Lake’s crossover lifestyle of indoor-outdoor living. 650 Main is equipped with a fitness center featuring retractable glass walls that lead out onto the green for mat-based movement and includes plenty of outdoor patio space for its busy members to enjoy, whether on break or taking their work into the sunshine.
A Look Inside
You’ll find Common Desk – S. Main Street on the first two floors of the 650 Main building spanning nearly 32,000 square feet of offices and meeting rooms for Salt Lake’s growing business sector. Despite this location being our first journey west, patrons can expect to be welcomed by the same southern hospitality we’re known for in our other coworking markets. S. Main Street will include Common Desk’s classic line-up of all-star amenities like complimentary drip coffee, tea, and snacks, packed weekly calendars that are the perfect networking opportunity, a full-fledged espresso bar with a menu of our seasonal favorites, a podcast studio, wellness room for working moms, fitness center, and thoughtfully designed interiors inspired by Salt Lake City. While on the subject of design, we asked our Head of Design, Austin Gauley, to dish a bit about the interior characteristics of Salt Lake’s freshest coworking destination.
“Common Desk – S. Main Street is located in a striking office building in downtown Salt Lake City and is well-connected to public transportation and main thoroughfares. Inside, our two floors of coworking and office space are connected by a breathtaking architectural stair featuring a warm, wood slat screen wall integrated into the railing and the finishes, art, and colors draw inspiration from the wild, commanding nature that surrounds the city.”
Austin Gauley, Head of Design, Common Desk
