The Alternatives
Most teams choose between a coworking membership and signing their own lease. One gives up identity and privacy; the other hands you a construction project and a facilities department. Here's how the three actually compare.
| Consideration | Coworking membership | Traditional lease | Rafterfox |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to move in | Days | 9–18 months | 12–16 weeks |
| Whose brand is on the wall | Theirs | Yours | Yours — entirely white-labeled |
| Who you share with | Strangers, and their guests | No one | No one |
| Design control | None — take it as built | Total, if you manage it yourself | Total, and we manage it |
| Who runs the space | The operator | You hire and manage facilities | We do, indefinitely |
| Vendors to coordinate | None | Architect, GC, furniture, IT, cleaning… | One |
| Room to grow | Add desks if they have them | Hire new contractors to expand | We manage what you want, when you want it |
| Commitment | Monthly | 10–15 years | Term that fits your plan |

We walk the space, understand your brand and headcount plans, and scope the program.
Space plans and design concepts, refined with you until every detail fits.
Permitting, construction, and furniture install — managed end to end, on schedule.
We stay on as your facilities partner, so the space runs the way it was designed to.
Services
Space planning, interior design, and brand integration — built around how your team actually works, not a generic template. We start with the shared space and plan private areas around it.
General contracting and project management from demo to punch list, with a single team accountable for schedule and budget.
Ongoing operations once the space is live — so it looks like day one, every day.
What's Included
One monthly figure covers the space and everything that keeps it running. No separate vendors, no facilities hire, no surprise invoices.
The Network
Coworking sells you access to a network of locations you'll never use. Ours is one you actually will: through our founder's ties to Barnfox, Rafterfox clients get special pricing at its work and retreat clubs across the Hudson Valley and Catskills.
When your team needs to get out of the city for two days of planning, the venue, the lodging, and the logistics are already handled — by people who know how to run a room.

The Short Of It
Rafterfox handles everything — design, permits, furniture, even the coffee vendor. Your team walks into a finished space that is entirely yours from day one. And stays that way so you can focus on your own business.
Who's Behind It
Rafterfox was founded by a co-founder of Barnfox, the work and retreat club behind a network of beautifully designed workspaces across the Hudson Valley.
That experience — hundreds of members, multiple locations, spaces built and run from the ground up — is what Rafterfox brings to office space in New York City.
Barnfox is backed by Western Sullivan Properties, the hospitality company behind destinations across the Hudson Valley and Catskills.
