The Loading Dock — Dock 1053

This was the best business decision I made all year. Being a member at The Loading Dock 1053 has been a great experience since day 1. The space is set up intelligently to support a very productive work space while also supporting a feeling of community for the members. There are so many member events every month as well and delicious food too! I enjoy the coffee and kombucha daily as well :) It's an awesome place to work.

Loading dock is a great and cool way to work. We toured as an inspiration space for another co-working location we are working on and were very impressed with the aesthetic and ability to cater to it's residents. You have the option for multiple ways of working. Lounge or work at a desk. Change locations within the space or grab a view from above and work up high with a view of the shared business space. I won't include too many photos to maintain their privacy, but I can assure you it's an awesome space.

The absolute *best* place to co-work. Sound proof call rooms, a full kitchen to cook in [they even have a Kitchen Aid mixer!], group tables, single desks, inside and outside work space, member events every couple of weeks, snacks you can purchase, free coffee, kombucha, and beer on tap. They even have showers! The decor is great and the details of amenities offered are impeccable. They've thought of everything. LOVE it! The only downside of this place is people don’t talk to each other at all. Not even in whispers, so it’s kind of hard to make friends.

My experience with the Loading Dock was fantastic. The facility offered everything we needed for our conference--and then some! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Our conference came off seamlessly (and since we have them quarterly, I can say that that rarely happens!) If I lived in Raleigh I would seriously consider becoming a member of the Loading Dock community.

I've been here for close to 6 months and have to say this is one of the BEST places - especially if you are a college student. I went to State and always found it a struggle to find a study spot during exam season. The loading dock has 3 awesome locations, 2 conveniently located close to campus (3rd in Wake Forest). The customer service is amazing and the amenities are always taken care of (plus super clean!). I love the staff here and can't recommend it enough to everyone!
