Coworking Operator Workbar Expands Needham Space with Bulfinch

An affiliate of The Bulfinch Companies, Inc. announced the expansion of coworking operator Workbar at 117 Kendrick St. in Needham, MA. The expansion adds 12,000 square feet, bringing Workbar Needham to just under 40,000 square feet.

The expanded space will introduce additional private offices, larger coworking neighborhoods, a new conferencing center, and upgraded amenities designed to serve hybrid teams, project-based groups, and distributed workforces throughout the MetroWest region. The Workbar expansion is expected to open in May 2026, with pre-leasing now underway.

“We are excited for Workbar’s success in Needham and thrilled that they have chosen to expand their space at 117 Kendrick,” said Michael Wilcox, managing director, leasing at Bulfinch. “Bulfinch’s long-standing relationship with Workbar is a testament to the quality of our property, our management services, and the strong relationships we strive to build with our tenants and the community.”

Workbar opened at 117 Kendrick in 2020.
