At Forge, we believe the best way to understand what makes our coworking space special is to hear it directly from the people who use it every day. From entrepreneurs to creatives, remote workers to small teams, our members choose Forge for all kinds of reasons—location, community, productivity, and more. We asked a few of them to share what drew them to Forge and why it’s the place they love to work.
📍 Location, Location, Location
“That sweet sweet location! It’s hard to beat downtown Birmingham.” – Ethan
Whether it’s the walkability, the energy of being in the heart of the city, or the short commute, location is one of the first things that draws people to Forge. Forge is located above The Pizitz Food Hall for easy access to delicious food all day!
💼 A Place That Just Feels Right
“The environment and location were what we were looking for.” – Austin
“It felt like the right place for our small but ambitious company.” – Hudson
Forge isn’t a one-size-fits-all space—it’s designed to support a wide range of businesses, from solopreneurs to small teams chasing big goals.
🏡 Finding Balance Between Work and Home
“I had been working from home a few days a week, but wanted to manage better work/life balance. When my office was at home, I could always work. Going to a clean, neutral third space helped improve my focus at work and improve my enjoyment of life at home.” – Derrick
For many members, Forge offers more than just a desk—it offers boundaries, focus, and the kind of clarity that’s hard to find at the kitchen table.
👋 A Community of Like-Minded People
“I miss being around people when I work, so the opportunity to network and socialize is key!” – Daniel
Working solo doesn’t mean working in isolation. At Forge, members find community, connection, and opportunities to grow alongside other professionals.
🚲 A Fresh Start in a Creative Space
“I moved from Brooklyn to Birmingham in 2021. After working from home a couple of years, I really missed being in more of an office environment. Forge offered a nice, bike-able, commute, and a flexible environment for working around other creative, talented and driven folks.” – Seth
Whether you’re new to Birmingham or just looking for a new routine, Forge is the kind of place that helps you feel plugged in, inspired, and productive.
No matter your reason for joining Forge—whether it’s the energy of downtown, the need for a boundary between work and home, or the desire to be part of a supportive professional community—there’s space for you here.
