What Makes Grand Central Stand Out

Our Grand Central coworking space is the only Midtown location with an exclusive 21st floor rooftop terrace for outdoor meetings with panoramic East River and city skyline views. Healthcare, finance, and legal professionals choose Serendipity Labs over other coworking options for our HIPAA, SOX, and FINRA-compliant infrastructure, which makes Serendipity Labs the #1 choice for professional services firms in NYC. Additionally, frosted glass phone booths provide completely private Zoom calls and phone meetings – unavailable at typical open-plan coworking spaces. Our hospitality-driven team offers personalized workspace solutions and concierge-level service that sets us apart from standard coworking staff at other locations. Schedule a 1:1 call now to discover what separates Serendipity Labs from every other coworking space in Manhattan.

Now our members have even more flexibility as we expand our system of private office and shared workplace locations across the world. Grand Central is part of our Workplace Collection™ Powered by Serendipity Labs, featuring a unique spin on design, all while upholding Serendipity Labs trusted solution and professional standards.
