Carr Workplaces was formed in Washington DC in 2003 with the intention of changing the way people work. We started with a set of observations, moved on to the development of an operating philosophy, and from there launched into organizing the human and physical assets needed to bring this idea to life. Three Initial Observations. The impetus behind the formation of Carr Workplaces came from three
simple observations:
1. Work is changing and the workplace isn’t.
2. Independent professionals and rapidly evolving businesses represent an emerging and neglected market.
3. Workplaces should stimulate and inspire the people working within them. From these observations, we formed a core belief: that people and work were evolving faster than the professional workplaces that tied them together. The goals of workers (stimulating environments, sensible commutes, proximity to clients and activity centers) and the goals of employers (enhanced flexibility, lower cost per head, improved utilization, environments that foster creativity) were diverging from the solution set offered by traditional sources. The existing model--whereby a business chose one location, contracted for it on a term well in excess of its visible business plan, painstaking fit it up with expensive and scarcely used infrastructure provisioned from dozens of vendors, and then, unthinkably, abandoned it 40%- 60% of the time—would eventually fall prey to a smarter use of time and resources. As the world of work continued to change, we believed that work would increasingly be completed in smaller, location-independent groups that could be extremely mobile. As a result, the workplace needed to be re-imagined. It needed to be smaller, more flexibly obtained and disposed of, more attractive and enabling, more sensibly priced and packaged, more suitable to smaller and more mobile business units, more integrated, and more vibrant. It was this collection of beliefs into which Carr Workplaces was born. Whether you’re independent, a start-up or an ever-expanding company, Carr Workplaces has the space, services and community to help you grow. Look no further for supportive staff, flexible options on ways to work, nationwide locations, and a vibrant, collaborative community of professionals just like you.
