What it is

HubBaltimore, also called THE HUB, is a coworking space on the second floor of 217 N Charles St. in Baltimore's central business district. It is owned by Profiles, a staffing and recruitment firm, and describes its focus as flexible, affordable workstations and office amenities for individuals and groups. The location is near I-95 and I-83 and within walking distance of downtown hotels, restaurants and shops.

Workspace options and pricing

The HubBaltimore homepage lists three types of space:

  • Individual Workstations: listed at $350.
  • Individual (Dedicated) Offices: listed at $550.
  • Large (Collaborative) Offices: listed at $950.

The site does not state the billing period for these prices, and its available spaces sheet is dated November 2023, so confirm current rates and availability before you plan around them.

What it offers founders

Shared amenities include internet, a kitchen, printing and scanning, a common area, a conference room and restrooms. Members can use the space for onsite events, client meetings and presentations. Because the space is owned by Profiles, members can also get access to its account management and recruitment teams, whose corporate clients often have projects in creative, marketing, web and IT work. HubBaltimore also points to networking with other professionals, chances to partner on larger projects and access to on-call experts. For freelancers and small service firms in those fields, that link to a staffing company is the main thing that sets this space apart from other downtown options.

Who it is for

HubBaltimore fits solo founders, freelancers and small teams who want an affordable downtown address with basic office services rather than a heavily programmed startup community. It does not advertise an accelerator, investor programming or a startup event calendar.

How to engage

Reach the team by phone at 410-244-6400, by email at cowork@hubbaltimore.com, or through the form on the contact page. Hours are not listed online, so ask about access hours, the billing term for each space type and what is included in the conference room when you inquire.

Why it matters in the DMV ecosystem

Downtown Baltimore has several coworking options, and HubBaltimore offers a simple model built around workstations, offices and basic services. For a founder doing client service work while building a product, its connection to a recruiting firm with corporate project demand can help with early revenue and contacts in creative, marketing, web and IT fields.
