“Finding affordable office space among the city’s tech startups has been an ongoing struggle for many entrepreneurs and freelance new media bloggers in New York, too. New Work City on Varick Street, a co-working space for freelancers and startups, offers memberships for $50 to $500 per month. But discounted office space, with enough juice to power computers and servers, is in high demand. So the city is also partnering with economic and business advocacy organization Downtown Alliance to build “hives,” or coworking spaces. The first, called “Hive@55,” will be an affordable co-working space for up to about 50 freelancers at a time in a 5,000 square foot space at 55 Broad Street, the high-tech highrise built to attract more tech companies to the city.”
