As we move further into the age of digital communication, more and more Americans are working remotely. Residents are beginning to find it important to live in a building with office space. Working from home has become very popular, especially during times of disaster — Hurricanes Irma and Jose forced millions to work remotely.
These residential developments have gone above and beyond to create professional environments within a residential space:
Commuting residents of Downtown Brooklyn’s 1 Flatbush will envy their neighbors who work from home, as the apartment building’s Hill West Architects and Whitehall Interiors-designed amenity spaces are ideal for Brooklynites who don’t have a traditional office. The building includes workspaces for every profession, from business executives who can concentrate in the industrial yet chic lounge, to chefs who can perfect their skills in the building’s demonstration kitchenette. To avoid cabin fever, 1 Flatbush’s game room and roof terrace offer a solution to those afternoon slumps.

The Edison, the first luxe residential building to rise in D.C.’s Union Market District, was designed to accommodate the working professional. The property offers several common spaces for co-working and private break-out rooms for meetings. The building’s most prominent work-from-home feature is its privately managed fiber-optic internet network — a first for a multi-family building in the U.S. The network and built-in wireless access points in each residence will deliver immediate and uninterrupted high-speed connectivity that will be seamlessly integrated throughout the building and monitored 24/7.

At TF Cornerstone’s 33 Bond Street in Downtown Brooklyn, entrepreneurs can forgo the kitchen table for Homework, the collaborative co-working space designed exclusively for the building’s residents. Homework features two large conference rooms with television screens for conferencing and presentations, dedicated booths with bench seating, two long tables for laying out the latest business plan and a coffee bar for those long work nights.

At Huis24, a new 91-unit rental building in Long Island City, residents can gather in a communal work space reminiscent of a start-up think tank where ideas flow. The space is equipped with Wi-Fi, USB outlets, segregated working stations and has speakers throughout to create an upbeat atmosphere. A breakout room has a conference table, a large screen with HDMI hookup for presentations or video conferencing and is complete with a chalkboard wall, perfect for inscribing ideas during brainstorming sessions.

Timbers Resorts, developer and operator of private boutique resorts and residence clubs, recently announced the first public offering of ownership opportunities at Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club & Residences in Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
The oceanfront development offers 21 residences, all embracing light, airy and natural design elements that complement the island’s atmosphere, across three buildings just minutes from Charleston. With floor plans ranging from three to four bedrooms, Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club & Residences offers two shared ownership categories. Owners have the option of selecting a 1/9th fractional interest in the property’s 2,200-square-foot three-bedroom residences, or a 1/6th fractional interest in the 3,600-square-foot four-bedroom penthouse residences. Pricing for the shared residential ownership interests ranges from $500,000 to $1.25 million.
Amenities at Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club & Residences include a private clubhouse with a lounge area, concierge services, valet, a fitness facility and a temperature-controlled owner’s wine wall. The private beach club will include an oceanfront pool, grill and specialty beach activities. Activities available to owners include 30 miles of paved biking trails, an inland waterway with access to the marina and river entry, and water sport activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, crabbing and fishing. The destination also offers more than 90 holes of championship golf and world-class tennis including the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, which will host the 2021 PGA Championship, also previously hosted at the course in 2012.
“Kiawah Island is a remarkably special destination that we have followed for many years knowing that our Timbers Collection Owners place tremendous value on oceanfront living in this region of the country,” said Greg Spencer, Timbers Resorts Chief Executive Officer. “The launch of sales at Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club & Residences is momentous for the Timbers Resorts brand and represents years of hard work and collective focus on delivering a truly unique resort club experience that feeds off the energy and storied history of the island.”
Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club & Residences will be conveniently located oceanfront on Kiawah Island’s Beachwalker Drive, minutes from Freshfields Village, the community’s boutique shopping and dining center, and 45 minutes to Charleston International Airport. Construction is underway and the project is set to be completed in summer 2018.
