Day passes are $30 and memberships are $300 per month. Events range from free to reasonably priced.
New Work City's community arose out of the existing apartment and cafe-based Jelly and CooperBricolage communities, which started in 2006 and 2007 respectively. In 2008, New Work City signed a sublease with a startup and opened its first coworking space after a year of research and preparations. The community quickly filled the space, and used it as home base for 18 months.
In September 2010, New Work City opened a dedicated space in a 4,700 square foot loft on Broadway and Canal Street in lower Manhattan. The new space has enabled the community to thrive, with more and better resources and event space available for use, as well as a new educational program, NWCU, aimed at helping people develop their independent careers.
