What Is a Private Office at CIC?
A private office at CIC gives your team a dedicated workspace inside a fully supported innovation campus. You get the privacy and consistency of your own office, plus access to shared meeting rooms, kitchens, coworking areas, programming, and onsite support. It’s designed for teams that need a professional base without taking on the cost, setup time, or fixed footprint of a traditional lease.
Room to Work Now and Adjust Later
Start with the number of desks you need today, then adjust as your team changes. Your office can support the way your company works now without locking you into a long-term guess about the future.
A Private Base Inside a Larger Business Environment
Your office gives your team a quiet place to meet, focus, and build. Step outside, and you’re connected to the wider CIC campus, with shared amenities, curated programming, and a mix of startups, scale-ups, enterprise teams, and ecosystem partners working nearby.
Your Own Space, Without Your Own Office Operation
Move into a furnished office or suite that’s ready for work from day one. CIC handles the daily workspace details, including utilities, cleaning, shared amenities, meeting room access, and on-site support, so your team can stay focused on the work that moves the business forward.

How a CIC-Managed Private Office Compares to a Traditional Lease
Teams looking for a private office typically choose between three models: signing a long-term commercial lease, joining a serviced office without any community, or moving into a managed private office inside a CIC Innovation Campus. The table below compares these options on the dimensions that affect how the team works day to day, how the office adapts as the company grows, and what surrounds it.

Private Offices for Teams That Need Room to Grow
CIC private offices are built for companies whose workspace needs can change quickly. Whether you’re scaling after a funding round, opening a regional hub, supporting a hybrid team, or testing a new market, you get a professional office that can adapt with your business.
For Startups and Scale-Ups
Give your team a professional workspace without tying up capital in office buildout or long-term real estate commitments. Start with the number of desks you need now, then move into a larger private office or suite as your team grows. Scale your workspace on your terms, without the disruption of relocating or renegotiating leases.
CIC gives you the quality, privacy, and support of an established workplace while keeping your company flexible for what comes next.
For Enterprise and Regional Teams
Launch a satellite office, regional hub, or corporate project team without building a local workplace operation from scratch. Your team gets a ready-to-work office, reliable services, meeting rooms, shared amenities, and on-site support from day one.
CIC helps you maintain professional standards while giving local teams a workspace that feels connected, useful, and easy to settle into.
For New Markets and Project Teams
When you’re testing a new market, hiring in a new city, or bringing people together for a time-bound initiative, your office shouldn’t slow the plan down.
CIC gives you a flexible base that can start small, grow with demand, or shift as priorities change. Your team can move quickly, stay close to opportunity, and avoid committing to more space than it needs.

Why CIC Is a Smarter Alternative to a Standard Lease
A traditional lease asks you to plan years ahead, manage the details yourself, and absorb the risk if your needs change. CIC gives your team a private office with flexible terms, predictable costs, and support included from day one.
Keep Your Team Ready for What Changes
As availability allows, you can add space, shift into a different setup, or explore coworking-only options as your plans evolve. You get a dedicated office now without locking your team into a model that may not fit later.
Make Office Days Worth the Commute
People come in for more than a desk. CIC campuses pair private offices with shared kitchens, meeting rooms, wellness areas, programming, and spaces designed to make in-person work feel impactful.
Work From Any

Hear from founders and team leaders who have used CIC private offices to grow, open new locations, and focus on their work without taking on the burden of managing real estate.
“HubSpot was founded in CIC… and we left kicking and screaming because we loved the space, the service, and the people.”
Brian Halligan
Co-FOUNDER
“Being able to come in on day one and seamlessly pick up my badge, come into my new office, sit down, plug in my laptop and be off and working was a pretty tremendous experience. …everything that had the potential to be high friction turned out to be very low friction with CIC.”
Howard Davis
CEO
“When comparing coworking spaces, the office vibe was very important in our decision making process. Sourced was looking for a place that felt warm and welcoming and the CIC hit the mark. Compared to other coworking spaces we looked into, the CIC facilities were leaps and bounds better than the local competitors.”
Jess Goshen
Operations Manager
