Grand River WorkPlace: A Decade of Community and Coworking

October 4, 2024 - January 26, 2025

NOW OPEN in the Auditorium Showcase

In 2014, the Grandmont-Rosedale Development Corporation opened the Grand River WorkPlace to attract and foster a new generation of entrepreneurs and businesses to the community. Inspired by business incubators and coworking spaces across Detroit, the WorkPlace was designed to be a coworking space for the community, by the community.

Located in the heart of the Grandmont-Rosedale neighborhoods on Grand River Avenue, the WorkPlace has established itself as a community anchor. Over the past decade, the WorkPlace and its attached pop-up retail space have welcomed entrepreneurs, experts, and community members from across southeastern Michigan. This exhibition highlights some of the 175 members, 15 pop-ups, dozens of businesses and entrepreneurs, and over two dozen community partners it has hosted in its first 10 years.
