I was very fortunate to find a place for an after party as I needed to have a location next to the Laemelle in Santa Monica. I walked by BlankSpaces and decided to check it out. I talked to Beth there who was extremely helpful and wonderful to work with. Well, in short, it was an AMAZING space I converted into a cocktail party in hours! Who knew? Perfect location, easy access, and "hidden" enough for a private party. Jerome (owner) was very supportive of our event and Beth helped execute our request making it an overall success. (BTW, it's awesome as a work space too. Waiting for one to open in the Valley). read more

Different from the Wilshire location: ground floor space right next to Third Street sky lights throughout more private offices more fluid event space more parking options Same great concept: Opportunities for freelancers, contractors and entrepreneurs to rent professional spaces for a fraction of the cost. Hum, I might just have to alternate between the two locations to change up my work week. read more

See all

BLANKSPACES Santa Monica is a great coworking venue near the beach. I've used this venue for holding software training workshops for about 30 to 40 people on Saturdays. In this area, there are plenty of inexpensive parking structures. Because parking near BLANKSPACES Santa Monica is relatively easy and this part of town is so beautiful, I would highly recommend using this space to Meetup event organizers, entrepreneurs or event planners. It's easy to make an appointment to take a tour the space. Also, it's very cool that it's so close to The 3rd Street Promenade. I haven't used the Santa Monica location for coworking yet. I'm curios about the experience. I do like the DTLA location for coworking. read more

BLANKSPACES Santa Monica Downtown - BLANKSPACES Santa Monica - workshop with about 35 people - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Overall just seemed to need some minor updates to the event space. I went to an event and walked around and it's a great set up but the far off section in the front back (were the space was) was totally different vibe, like reminded me of LAUSD circa early 2000s - tables and chairs and white board wall all that had a lot of obvious use. It's a shame because it's such an amazing space and I was told they have sky light for natural light but it was closed; I felt made the room drab to have it all closed. A few changes just to the event space is all they need in my opinion. read more

So, I've been to the Blankspaces location on DTLA, which was awesome. This particular location wasn't as amazing. I signed up for the $10 2 day trial and was greeted by front desk staff, given the wifi code and asked to sit in one of the common areas. Here were my issues: The A/C wasn't great: warm outside, lukewarm inside. Plugs were bad in almost every place I sat. I had to request help to find a seat where the plugs actually had power. This place is pet friendly, which is a plus, however the space was worn and had an odd smell to it. Overall, sure, in a crunch I'd come back, but don't think it'd be my first choice. read more

As a Board member for UN Women USA Los Angeles I want to express my deepest gratitude to BLANKSPACES and specifically the Santa Monica location who have been delightful community partners with our Chapter. BLANKSPACES has provided a warm and welcoming environment for our internship program and generally our membership as a whole. They provided our Chapter with a home when we did not have one and we are so grateful for their amazing staff who have dedicated the time, effort, and energy to ensure we are comfortable in their space. Venue: The venue space is spacious, clean, and has a welcoming environment. They are also located just off 3rd Street Promenade making it the perfect location to venture out by foot to explore the local culture (food, shops, etc.). Staff: Again, I can't speak more highly of the staff for all of their hard work and willingness to stay later to ensure that we have all that we need for our meetings. It's not necessary but I must say it does go a long way and for that we are thankful. Amenities: BLANKSPACES offers great amenities to their membership. For one, there is ample, comfortable, and modern seating/design. But what we especially love is the AV capabilities offered in their boardrooms. The boardrooms are equipped with plentiful outlets and they even provide adapters for Mac users when needing to connect to the tv for presentations, etc. Community-Minded: I can't explain how thoughtful BLANKSPACES is in supporting local non-profit organizations in their community. Where some co-working spaces place sole emphasis on profits, BLANKSPACES seeks to assist community organizations with whom they align and whose causes they are passionate about and deeply believe in. If you're looking for a space that not only offers comfort, astounding member services but cares about giving back and supporting a female-focused, empowerment and equality organization like UN Women USA LA then look no further! Again, THANK YOU on behalf of UN Women USA LA! We appreciate you! read more

Every week BLANKSPACES allows our nonprofit-- UN Women USA LA utilize the conference room and never had an issue with management. Anytime my access key has an issue, they are quick to fix any concerns. You can always trust the staff to be helpful, positive, flexible, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend this co-working space for any meetings or events. The location is in the heart of the Santa Monica Promenade, so its walking distance to the Santa Monica Mall, bus stations, and of course beach. The space itself has options for individual desks, conference rooms, offices, a kitchen, etc. The environment is dog-friendly, so it's very convenient to bring your dog to the office. Thank you BLANKSPACES! read more

We held our UN Women USA LA Chapter Board Meeting here and it was a great space! Convenient parking across the street, lots of walking distance restaurants and the conference room was perfect for our meeting. The venue had an open feel, clean, well equipped and convenient with great art on the walls. Thank you Blankspaces for letting us use your conference room. We will be back! read more

I was feeling impressed with the facilities and business model, the the dog walked from behind an unmanned counter and started coughing

One of, if not the most disgusting, unclean work spaces I have ever had to deal with. I would not even attend an event here. Management will never respond to an issue. I wish I could upload the picture I have of the black toxic mold in the refrigerator which they refused to clean. Don't waste your time, you will not get your money back if you are not satisfied and I assure you, you will not be. read more

Right in the heart of the Silicon Beach tech phenomenon. I've run into so many startup founders, VC's, angel investors, tech gurus, killer coders, and creatives coming and going from Bkank Spaces. Several different cool spaces from lounge to a work at to team workdesks. Two great conference rooms. Friendly staff - and they have answers. If you'll be walking by, go in and get the tour. You can get any usage package you can think of: in LA 2 days per week? Need a micro office, just want a place to create without distractions, or a full time Team deal for 4 coders? You don't want to work from some lonely office space - this co-working concept is awesome. And lots of events happening too. Blank Spaces is 5 steps ahead of working out of Starbucks and way less stuffy than some isolated office space. I like being there. read more

Great spot for a committee meeting! We hosted a group of 10 for an LLS Man/Woman of The Year Campaign committee meeting and had a very productive night. It is very clean. there is plenty of space and a strong wifi! Carol was extremely friendly and helpful - thanks for the hospitality. I'd recommend Blankspaces to anyone looking for a place to get things done, either off site from your daily office or for temporary space. read more

I have been hosting meetings at Blankspaces for the past year or so and the experience has been terrific. The location is quite convenient, and there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Our group will frequently walk to lunch or the promenade right after the meeting and we appreciate not having to move our car. Street parking is available, as well as a large parking structure right across the street. There are two main conference rooms - one holds around 8-10 people comfortably and the other 15-20. Wifi is always available and reliable, the rooms have large white boards and dry erase markers, and the most common display connectors are available so you can easily connect your laptop to the projector or display without having to spend half an hour on trying to figure out the audiovisual controls. The walls are tastefully decorated with quirky modern art from a local artist and plenty of outside light filters in through the full windows. The space is quite attractive and we are always happy to be able to host our meetings here. read more

I had a private desk in an open area. I wondered about getting a closed office, but this worked out great, because there is a really great community here, and I enjoy meeting everyone. I honestly haven't been this productive in years! read more

Very disappointed. Its accounting department is very irresponsible. I called and left voice messages countless times over a couple weeks and no reply. I will chargeback. Too tired to believe the accounting persons. read more

Pros: - no music playing on speakers - Depending on where you sit the noise level is hit or miss. Cons: - Parking expensive for the day. - WiFi is TERRIBLE ! very poor signal for guests. Should be the one thing at a workspace that works well. read more

Came here for a event and the place here is clean and attentive. Spaces were are large and very friendly. This place is great for meetings, freelancers who need a space to work and teams. I would definitely come here again and suggest to others if they ever need a place to do meetings, events or freelancers who need a office. read more

BLANKSPACES is an excellent space for facilitating collaborative meetings and events. I'm currently interning for UN Women USA LA, and BLACKSPACES has been nothing but gracious allowing us to take advantage of their facilities until late in the evening. Plus, their bathroom is always fully stocked, and they have special events throughout the week to keep people productive. Thank you so much for everything! All around, a great addition to the community! read more

I'm an intern for the UN Women USA LA Chapter and our meetings take place at this amazing office space. BLANKSPACES has multiple and spacious rooms to get work done at! The bathroom is clean and filled with various toiletries (amazing if you're in the middle of shark week!) Thank you so much BLANKSPACES for enabling us to achieve our goals as a team! read more

BLANKSPACES is an amazing place to have our weekly intern meetings. As an intern for UN Women USA LA, I always enjoy my time working in their space. It is very welcoming and always equipped with everything we need. The meeting rooms have very comfortable seating and many places to plug-in. It is the perfect space to collaborate and accomplish things as an intern cohort. Thank you!!!!!! read more

This is the place to go to when you want to get things done! I love how quiet and focused it is. And it's surrounded by great food places in santa monica and easy parking right across the street. It's also a great space to start a company before signing a big lease. Highly recommended! read more

This is a great building with nice looking spaces, natural light and a cool vibe. Looks like a nice place to work and others seem to think so. I will never set foot in it again. I work from home and often need an office location to work out of so I dropped in here for a quick look-see, It surely is an impressive looking place. Empty reception area with two disinterested hosties on duty at the desk, one snacking and chatting, the other one engrossed in just nodding back to her. No effort to say hi or pay me any attention. After a while they broke their conversation to look round at me. No effort to muster a smile or any enthusiasm, just a bit of "whatever" attitude. I asked a couple of starter questions about rates, facilities etc and got fairly blank answers. OK, so good, so factual, I thought maybe they just didn't want to sell me anything. Maybe I didn't look like a good prospect, after all I was casually dressed and carrying a laptop bag, how could I possibly be a potential customer? Then I asked about printing, one of the main reasons I sometimes like to use an office. The girl told me the rates and so I asked if I could print out a (one-page, 10-cent) file from my USB drive while I was there. She told me "No, unless you purchase a day plan or some sort of other plan". Now, I've worked in many sales environments and it's usually good business, not to say polite and helpful, to encourage potential customers and help them feel good about what you're selling. I can't think of any reason in the world why a switched-on sales chap wouldn't say "sure, let me run you off a copy right here on this big-old empty printer I have at the front desk while I tell you a little more about the place". But no, just blank disinterest. So I'm afraid that was my experience: disinterested receptionists snacking and talking amongst themselves, and a complete lack of any enthusiasm or sales gumption to help me to buy anything. read more

Great people - warm and nice to deal with. So glad I signed up with them for office space

I've worked in 4-5 different co-working spaces in Santa Monica over the last 2 1/2 years and happily returned to this one to stay. In my opinion, it's the best. :: There's plenty of sunlight that comes in through the skylights (no artificial light!) :: It's well stocked with serious, hardworking but friendly entrepreneurs. :: They don't bother you by playing music. Some of the coworking spaces feel that it provides a cool vibe, but in the end it's just annoying. If I want to listen to music, I use headphones. :: Front desk staff is super friendly and helpful :: Great location with easy parking options :: The beach is 1 block away... read more

I needed a space to get some work done for 2 hours so I popped into this space using the Deskpass app. This space was pretty depressing in my opinion. I was in the common area and the cement floors need some polishing. The furniture was also looking pretty old. I also wasn't told where the coffee was which when i go to other coworking spaces the host tells you right away where things are at. I won't be coming back here. read more

Blankspaces is great for the following reasons: 1. It actually gets your juices flowing because the people and space there really maximize motivation for productivity (ambience) 2. They are really kind up at the front desk. I just had them print something out for me and even hand it to me as I was studying. 3. Their pricing for being a lounge guest isn't horrible. 4. They have a kitchen area with all sorts of pluses. 5. Marker boards galore. 6. Conference rooms on deck! read more

Love this space. Held our monthly non profit meeting here. Large comfortable conference rooms, projector and wifi access, modern and clean furniture and open spaces to break out into for smaller workshop sessions. So glad our organization found Blankspaces. read more

Blankspaces Santa Monica is a great co-working and event space for many reasons. From the management to the layout to the overall feel of the space, Blankspaces seems to have cracked the code of how to run a good co-working paces. It also happens to be populated by a lot of interesting startups, work teams and individuals. On top of all that the location is great, being near many Silicon Beach startups, city parking, restaurants, malls and it's a quick walk to the beach. read more

Super easy access to the office with city parking across the street really makes this very accessible which a huge plus. Many startup founders and creative business juices flowing. Nice, clean, open space that is aways easy to work in -- there is just enough buzz and enough quiet to be productive. Friendly staff that helps to navigate all sorts of questions as well as schedule conference rooms. read more

Great place, great people, great prices, great service. What else can I say but great great great. Held a 50 person meetup there this week. Holding my next one there too now. Jerome and Laura make the place. read more

Just attended Groop Skool there and it is an amazing space!!! Thank you soooo much Blankspaces, you guys are great!!

It continues to be nothing short of amazing working at Blank Spaces, Santa Monica. The community environment is extremely supportive and the caliber of entrepreneur who works from there is high. The Blank Spaces staff are always obliging and go out of their way to ensure that you and your business are successful. Nothing is ever too much to ask. Lounge spaces, meeting rooms, hot desks, permanent desks and offices. Parking directly opposite. Be it 2 hours or 2 years, this is a creative and supportive environment. read more

My coworkers and I used the conference rooms at Blank Spaces on and off for a few months, and it was excellent. The space was always clean and inviting, and Neda and the rest of the team were awesome about letting us schedule and reschedule our visits. It's also a good rate compared to other shared workspaces in LA. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful downtown shared space good for tech Meetup and dodgeball. Don't share the wifi password with the guy outside he's a hax0r. You'll thank me later and send me BitCoin. BYoLaptop! read more

really cool co-working place. great location.

I have been working out of this location for about a month now & really enjoy the space. Ambiance is important to me & has a lot to do with how I operate. The feeling here is like a community, and upon walking in, I'm always greeted by the friendly receptionist. The space is modern, airy, and inspiring. I work mostly at the worktable desks, which is in an open area. There are offices, private meeting rooms, and cubicle-like areas to choose from, as well as kitchen area for convenience. The location is great, located near the Third Street Promenade with plenty of shops and places to dine near by. Parking is available at many of the structures nearby, within walking distance. read more
