Forge News and Updates |
The workplace has changed — and so have your team’s needs. Gone are the days of one central office and daily commutes. Today’s best companies are building hybrid teams: flexible, distributed, and empowered to work wherever they thrive.
But even remote-friendly teams need a place to connect, collaborate, and feel like a team. That’s where Forge comes in.
Here are 10 reasons why coworking memberships at Forge are the perfect fit for your hybrid or remote team:
1. A Central Hub Without the Overhead
Think of Forge as your team’s home base — a flexible, professional HQ your team can use when they need it, without the cost or commitment of a traditional office lease.
2. Plans Built for Your Team’s Needs
Need regular meeting space? A few private offices? Or just a place for your team to drop in a few times a week? Forge offers customizable plans designed around how your hybrid team actually works.
3. Face Time, When It Matters
Zoom is great — until it’s not. Forge gives your team a consistent space to gather in person, brainstorm together, and strengthen working relationships that can’t be built in Slack threads alone.
4. Connection to Something Bigger
Your team won’t just be connecting with each other — they’ll also be surrounded by other professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives. That built-in community creates a richer, more energizing workday experience. Forge hosts monthly Members-Only events to foster a strong community.
5. Boosted Morale & Engagement
Working from home can feel isolating. Forge helps fight that by giving team members a space where they feel seen, supported, and inspired — which leads to better engagement and retention.
6. Attract & Retain Top Talent
The best employees want flexibility and connection. Offering a Forge membership shows you’re invested in building a work culture that supports both — which helps you stand out in a competitive hiring market.
7. Support for Focus & Productivity
Whether it’s a quiet desk, strong Wi-Fi, or fewer interruptions than a home office, Forge gives your team the tools to do their best work — on their own terms.
8. Private + Shared Space Options
Need to host a client meeting? Want a private office for heads-down days? Or prefer a more open coworking vibe? With Forge, your team can choose the space that fits their day’s goals.
9. Built for the Hybrid Economy
Forge was designed with the hybrid workforce in mind. We’re not just adapting to this new model — we’re helping shape it, with spaces that balance autonomy and connection, flexibility and structure.
10. A Better Way to Work Together
Forge brings your hybrid team the best of both worlds: the freedom of remote work, and the connection of in-person collaboration. It’s not just coworking — it’s a smarter, more human way to work.

Forge News and Updates |
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.
