Coalition has launched a new location as Chinatown's first and only coworking space! We invite you entrepreneurs, startups, investors, and many others that form a part of Boston's business ecosystem, to our Launch Party on May 9. Our Keynote Speaker will be Boston's Chief of Economic Development, John Barros. We will offer raffle prizes such as free office space, restaurant gift cards, etc. We'll also provide catered food, beverages, beer & wine (21+). Feel free to bring along your friends or colleagues.

About Coalition: Coalition Downtown is a premiere coworking space in Downtown Boston's Chinatown area. We are where the financial, tech, and healthcare sectors merge. Our newly renovated, top-floor, brick-and-beam space features beautiful skylights, high ceilings, and rich hardwood floors. We're a short walk from South Station, Chinatown, and Park St, offering easy access to the Red, Green, Orange, Purple, and Silver lines, plus Amtrak, and Downtown's cheapest parking spots. A walk outside will present no shortage of lunch, dinner, and entertainment options. Join the Coalition!
