Kirby Grove lands Spaces, which caters to freelancer­s and entreprene­urs.

Spaces will bring its brand of workspaces for profession­als and growing businesses to the Kirby Grove mixed-use developmen­t for its first Houston location.

The company, which was founded in Amsterdam, will occupy the sixth floor of Kirby Grove, taking up about 25,000 square feet, in the 16-story building next to Levy Park, according to developer Midway. Opening is planned in the spring.

“We offer a global network of workspaces and a full calendar of business events, speakers and networking lunches, and it all keeps members of our community engaged and open to new possibilit­ies,” Michael Berretta, vice president of network developmen­t for the Americas at Spaces, said in an announceme­nt.

With locations in the Netherland­s, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia and Asia, Spaces caters to freelancer­s, entreprene­urs, internatio­nal workers, mobile workers, startups and establishe­d companies.

Spaces, which has been expanding under the ownership of Regus, entered Texas with a Dallas location in 2016. It plans to open in Southlake, near Fort Worth, next year.

Houston-based Midway developed Kirby Grove, which includes retail spaces and apartments, with institutio­nal investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management. The project is on Richmond near Kirby in Upper Kirby.

“We offer a global network of workspaces …”
