Haven Coworking is giving a familiar Northeast Baltimore gathering spot a new job this May, turning a long‑standing community events hall at 6809 Belair Road into its second Baltimore location and a full‑service workspace. The overhaul will bring private offices, shared coworking areas, meeting rooms, and a banquet‑style event hall, all while keeping the building in play as a neighborhood gathering place. Membership pricing is expected to start near $100 per month for coworking and roughly $500 per month for private offices, with founders targeting professionals across Northeast Baltimore, the Belair Road corridor, White Marsh, Bel Air, and the I‑95 corridor.
The building sits on a parcel with more than 70 dedicated parking spaces and will feature a 3,500+ square‑foot banquet and event hall for corporate trainings and community gatherings, according to a press release via GlobeNewswire. The same announcement notes that the owners are investing more than $2 million to restore and modernize the property. Construction is already underway, and the company says it expects to begin welcoming members in May 2026.
What members will find
The Belair Road location is slated to include 33 private offices alongside open coworking seats, conference and meeting areas, plus virtual‑office services, CityBiz reports. “We’ve found that coworking succeeds when it serves people at all different stages of business,” co‑founder Ramin Ziaee said in the coverage. The mix of office and event space is intended to support small firms, independent professionals, and community groups that previously used the building for parties and proms.
Suburban demand and the building’s return
Company leaders are framing the project as a response to steady interest in flexible, neighborhood‑based work options rather than long downtown leases, a strategy outlined in the announcement. The Belair Road site is pitched as a parking‑rich alternative for commuters and local professionals, and the founders have emphasized preserving the venue’s community history during the renovation, per company materials published via GlobeNewswire. That preservation push is part of the group’s case to neighborhood groups and local business chambers.
Haven’s Towson base and bookings
Haven opened its first space in downtown Towson and lists 200 Washington Avenue as its flagship on the company website, which also shows the NE Baltimore location at 6809 Belair Rd and a link for tours and bookings. Per Haven Coworking, the team is already scheduling tours while finishing interior work ahead of the May opening. The Towson presence gives the company an existing membership pipeline it can draw on as the Belair Road site comes online.
Local reaction and next steps
Local groups in Overlea have been tracking the conversion closely; the Overlea Community Association posted an update noting the purchase of the former Overlea Event Center and that renovations are underway. Overlea Online notes that neighbors have shared memories of events held there and generally see the investment as a restoration. For prospective members, pricing and booking details remain available through the company’s site and the booking link included in the announcement.
