The Root Coworking, a fast-growing provider of coworking spaces plans to open in North Downtown Omaha. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based company will open the Omaha location this June. The Root will occupy two floors of the recently constructed mixed-use building at 1501 Mike Fahey Street in the Builders District.
This marks The Root’s fourth location and its second outside of Oklahoma. The expansion into Omaha aligns with the company’s mission to foster vibrant, community-focused workspaces in emerging neighborhoods.
“We’ve been eyeing Omaha for a while, and when we were introduced to this opportunity in the Builders District, we knew it was the perfect fit,” said Ben Von Drehle, founder & CEO of The Root Coworking. “The neighborhood is growing fast, it’s walkable, it’s packed with energy — everything we look for when choosing a new home for our brand, and our members.”
The new location, referred to as “The Root – Builders,” is being developed in partnership with Omaha-based Noddle Companies. It will feature private offices, team suites, flexible workspaces, meeting rooms, a private event space, a podcast studio and an in-house espresso bar, along with a range of other premium amenities.
Designed with a focus on hospitality and community building, the Omaha location will carry forward The Root’s signature style — blending modern work amenities with curated, local touches.
“Whether you’re a freelancer, remote worker, a startup team, or enterprise company looking to land your new HQ, our goal is to make coming to work something you and your team actually look forward to,” Von Drehle said.
Located just blocks from Charles Schwab Field and Creighton University, and surrounded by a growing mix of residential, retail, and office developments, The Root – Builders is poised to be a key player in the ongoing revitalization of the Builders District.
The Root Coworking was founded in 2019. In addition to two locations in Tulsa, the company has one location in Fayetteville, Ark.
