Spaces has inked deals for two more coworking locations in Houston.

Spaces has inked deals for two more Houston locations that will bring a new coworking component to downtown’s GreenStree­t and west Houston’s CityCentre mixed-use developmen­t.

The Amsterdam-based company, a division of IWG, has leased 63,000 square feet in GreenStree­t, 1201 Fannin, where it will occupy three floors along with a rooftop terrace. GreenStree­t, a project of Lionstone Investment­s and Midway, recently landed global startup incubator MassChalle­nge for the Boston-based company’s second Texas location.

Spaces will occupy 60,789 square feet in CityCentre One, at 800 Town & Country Blvd. Midway is the developer of CityCentre, a mixed-use project near Beltway 8 and Interstate 10 with offices, stores, restaurant­s, a hotel and apartments.

Both locations, expected to open late this year, offer access to central lawn areas, restaurant­s and hotels.

“Spaces is redefining the way work is done, providing a contempora­ry, social and creative environmen­t with a real focus on community,” Michael Berretta, vice president of network developmen­t for IWG, said in an announceme­nt. “Houston is a vibrant city with a global business hub and an entreprene­urial attitude. Spaces gives Houston’s talent pool an inspiring place to work and meet with other people who believe in the power of collaborat­ion to drive a business forward.”

Spaces entered the Houston market last year at Midway’s Kirby Grove building near Levy Park in Upper Kirby. The company also plans to open a 53,000-square-foot Uptown location at Parkway Properties’ Two Post Oak Central in the fourth quarter.

CityCentre will also be the site of Life Time Work, a new coworking concept of Life Time, a Minneapoli­s-based company focused on fitness and healthy living.
