Why Greater Nexus? Why Jamaica? Why Now?
As organizations rethink where and how work happens, coworking has become one of the fastest-growing drivers of business growth, collaboration, and innovation across the country. Recent research analyzing more than 9,000 companies across 20 U.S. metropolitan areas found that startup activity and coworking growth are closely linked, with the U.S. coworking market now exceeding 9,100 locations and 164 million square feet of workspace after growing 17% in a single year. These spaces are no longer simply places to work—they have become critical infrastructure for growing businesses.
That is precisely why Greater Nexus, powered by Greater Jamaica Development Corporation, is uniquely positioned to help organizations thrive. Located in the heart of Downtown Jamaica, Queens, our members benefit from one of the most connected transportation hubs in New York City, with convenient access to the Long Island Rail Road, AirTrain JFK, subway lines, bus routes, and major highways. Whether you are an entrepreneur launching your next venture, a nonprofit expanding your impact, a government agency hosting community programming, or a large institution seeking a borough-based outpost, Greater Nexus provides the flexibility, visibility, and connections needed to grow.
What truly sets us apart, however, is our community. Research consistently shows that community-focused coworking spaces create stronger professional networks, deeper engagement, increased collaboration, and greater opportunities for business growth. At Greater Nexus, our members don’t simply share workspace—they gain access to an ecosystem built through meaningful partnerships with JFK Airport stakeholders, elected officials, educational institutions, the New York State Court System, Jamaica Hospital, Resorts World, city agencies, nonprofit organizations, and businesses of every size.
As someone who proudly calls New York City home, I have always believed that Queens’ greatest strength is its people. As a mom, a small-business champion, a supporter of economic development, and someone who deeply appreciates the incredible diversity that has earned Queens the title of The World’s Borough, I am inspired every day by the innovators, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and changemakers who choose Greater Nexus as their place to connect, create, and grow. Their success stories remind us that when businesses are supported, communities prosper.
If you’re exploring your next workspace solution, I invite you to visit us, attend an event, schedule a tour, or connect with us on social media. We’d be honored to welcome you into a community where productivity meets purpose, connections become opportunities, and growth becomes possible.
