A new co-working space is announcing its plans to open on the west side of downtown Reno. Beacon CoWork will be at 140 Washington Street between the Riverwalk and 2nd Street and is the latest of several co-working spaces to open its doors in the region. Founder and Firestarter Nikki McGuire says “As home prices have skyrocketed in Reno over the past few years, so has the cost of office space.” Some small businesses simply can’t afford to carry the burden of a lease on their own. With a full suite of amenities, a fresh, modern design, multiple membership tiers and student rates, Beacon is poised to be one of the region’s hot spots for startups and remote workers.
