Coworking in Salt Lake City: a local guide

Salt Lake City has a lot of people working from home. Some of them love it. Others start looking for somewhere else to work once the kitchen table stops feeling like an office.

This guide covers what you'll find in Salt Lake, what it costs, and the questions worth asking before you sign anything.

One note up front: we run HAVN SLX, a coworking club in downtown Salt Lake. So we have a point of view. We'll tell you where we fit, and where we don't.

The kinds of coworking you'll find

The spaces we looked at in Salt Lake sell some mix of the same five things. The names change from place to place, so it helps to know what's underneath them.

• Day pass. Pay for one day, use the shared workspace, go home. Good for trying a place out, or if you only need a change of scenery once in a while.
• Coworking membership (sometimes called a hot desk). Access to the shared space, no assigned seat.
• Dedicated desk. Your own desk in the shared space. You can leave a monitor and a plant on it.
• Private office. A door that closes, for one person or a team. Usually a longer commitment.
• Meeting rooms. Booked by the hour, or included as credits with a membership.

Some spaces go further and bundle workspace with things like a gym and an events calendar under one membership. HAVN is one of those.

Downtown or closer to home?

Most of the coworking spaces we found in Salt Lake are downtown, near TRAX and FrontRunner. A few are in Sugar House.

If you live in Utah County, HAVN Sanctuary is our location in Lehi.

Our honest take: pick the place you'll actually go to on a Tuesday when it's snowing. A great space you visit twice a month won't do much for you.

What coworking costs in Salt Lake City

Prices vary a lot by space and by what's included, so compare what you get, not just the monthly number. Here's what HAVN SLX costs as of November 2026, as one reference point:

Every HAVN SLX membership includes the gym and the rooftop. So if you're already paying for a gym, the real cost of a coworking membership is lower than the sticker price.

When you compare spaces, ask about the costs that don't show up on the pricing page:

• Is there an initiation or setup fee?
• Are meeting rooms included, or billed by the hour?
• Is parking included? (Both HAVN locations have on-site garages, and parking comes with every membership.)
• How long are you locked in, and how much notice do you need to give to leave?
• Can a client or a friend join you for an afternoon?

Questions to ask on a tour

A tour tells you more than a website. Here's what we'd ask, including of us.

1. Who works here on a normal Tuesday? Not the launch party photos. A random weekday.
2. Will anyone know my name in a month? Some spaces are built for quiet and privacy. Others are built for people to meet. Know which one you want.
3. Where do I take a call? Ask about phone booths and small meeting rooms.
4. What happens outside work hours? Events, classes, a gym, a place to hang out after 5. Or nothing, which is fine if that's what you want.
5. Can I try it first? A day pass is the cheapest way to find out if a place fits.
6. What's the commitment, really? Get the minimum term and the notice period in writing.

The part that's hard to put on a pricing page

Most coworking spaces sell desks. We think the desk is the easy part. What we care about is the stuff that's harder to list: someone saying good morning, a lunch that turns into an intro, a person two tables over who has solved the problem you're stuck on.

You don't get that from a space where everyone wears headphones and nobody knows each other. You get it from a place that's set up for people to meet, with enough regulars that you see the same faces.

That's worth weighing as much as price or location. Especially if part of why you're leaving the house is to be around people.

Where HAVN SLX fits

HAVN SLX is at 470 W 200 N in downtown Salt Lake City. It has open coworking, dedicated desks, private offices, meeting rooms and phone booths, a full gym, a yoga studio, and a rooftop pool, all in one building.

Membership is by application. You tour, then apply. We're not exclusive for the sake of it. We care about one thing, and it's how you treat people.

Some members work remotely for companies elsewhere. Some run their own practice. Some are building a company. What they have in common is that they'd rather not work alone, and there's a calendar of classes, talks, dinners, and nights out to make that easier. You can see what's coming up on the events page.

HAVN probably isn't for you if you want the cheapest possible desk and would rather not talk to anyone. That's a fine thing to want, and there are good options for it. If you want a place where people know your name, come see us.

Book a tour of HAVN SLX. It takes about 30 minutes. Or grab a day pass and try a full day first.
