Mix the growing numbers of freelancers and startups in Brooklyn with the number of empty industrial buildings in Bushwick, and you get an explosion of coworking spaces and office hubs throughout Bushwick. 

Luckily some of these spaces not only breathe homegrown creativity, they also have been created by Bushwick longtimers who know what’s what. One of these spaces is BKLYN Commons located at 7 Marcus Garvey Blvd. right off Flushing Avenue J, M, Z subway stop. 

After some initial hype and tours, BKLYN Commons is opening for realz with a fun kickoff event on Thursday, Sept. 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. There will be free drinks, delish food catered by Red Table, and music spun by DJ Gully.
