Customers can visit comerica.com/spaces for more information about CoWorkSpaces or contact their local Comerica banking center to request access to the reservation system.
Addressing local small businesses' needs
Comerica's overall CoWorkSpaces program launched in early 2023 at nine North Texas banking centers, where the bank invested $1.5 million to repurpose and reinvigorate nearly 10,000 square feet of idle real estate in the region.
Comerica's research indicated that many small business customers struggled to find professional space to conduct meetings or work remotely, while an increase in employees' work-at-home arrangements created a need for affordable and suitable workspaces. CoWorkSpaces directly addresses these needs and delivers a value-added experience at no cost to Comerica small business customers.
To date, more than 100 unique Comerica small business customers have fueled over 370 reservations across all locations, with a steady increase in monthly bookings since the program's inception.
The CoWorkSpaces location at 17 Cowboys Way is an extension of Comerica's comprehensive efforts to help North Texas small businesses grow and cultivate their own businesses. Along with the CoWorkSpaces program, Comerica also introduced Comerica BusinessHQ™, a collaborative business resource center that provides integral services and value for high need, high opportunity small businesses in the Southern sector of Dallas. Through a mix of coworking spaces, incubation fellowships and technical assistance, BusinessHQ addresses the three essential needs of aspiring small businesses: capital, cultivation and connectivity.
