Since opening the doors to Work-Collective in January 2020 much has
changed – a global pandemic, an influx of new residents and workers in Bend and dramatic
changes to how and where we work. Despite these challenges, Work-Collective Community
Coworking continues to thrive and attract new members.
Owners Kent and Sara Odendahl attribute much of the success to a supportive community and
strong partnerships that helped to support the flex office space throughout the past five years.
“When we launched the business, we could not have foreseen the challenges ahead with the
pandemic. However, thanks to the ongoing support of our founding members, our community
partners and a dash of good luck, we’re thrilled to be celebrating our five year anniversary,” said
Sara Odendahl, co-owner and founder.
To celebrate the milestone, Work-Collective is opening its doors to the community with an
anniversary promotion Five for Five Plan featuring 5 day passes for $5 (a $150 value). Community
events are planned throughout the month culminating in an Evening Art Walk on Thursday,
January 30 at 5-7pm featuring current artists in residence and their work throughout the space.
Looking ahead, Work-Collective is excited to expand on its current offerings for flexible work and
meeting space in its NorthWest Crossing location with the additional product offerings including
Meeting Memberships and Virtual+ Office Memberships
“We are so grateful to everyone that has contributed to the unique and supportive culture of the
Work-Collective community, and we’re excited to continue fostering connections and Bend’s
entrepreneurial spirit into the future,” said Kent Odendahl, co-owner and founder.
