Description

Specialties

SHARED is the most unique coworking space in San Francisco, located in the heart of SoMa. Think of it as Tech Shop meets coworking.

SHARED has all the office amenities of a traditional coworking space and added to a maker space. It has office space, fabrication space, a shared work shop with tools and equipment, meeting rooms, kitchen, and classes, and events.

SHARED is a space for creative people to work and collaborate together. It is based in the belief that together we can create greater things than we could individually or in isolation.

History

Established in 2013.

Founder, Marilyn Yu, is a creative person who enjoys collaborating with others. Due to the shortage of space in San Francisco, creativity and collaboration can often be a struggle. However Yu believes that a sustainable space for creative people can exist in San Francisco and this is what has motivated her to build SHARED.

The idea for SHARED was originally hatched in 2010. It took two plus years to assemble the team and build the space that is now SHARED. Yu was excited to open SHARED to the public in March 2013.

We define «creative» as anyone who builds, designs, or invents something (not limited to tangible things). Some of our current members: writers, editor, publisher, data-​visualization company, documentary film-​maker, UI tech entrepreneur, a computer programmer, a web-​platform for community organizing, a scholarship data-​base and tools, proto-​type builder, hardware start-​up, a sports-​drink start-​up, painters, photographers, mixed-​media artist.

Marilyn Y.

Business Owner

Marilyn Yu is an award-​winning clothing designer, artist, and author based in San Francisco. With a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters in City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley, Yu is constantly trying to merge her various interests in the work she does.

After a seven year break, Yu has decided to start making clothes again. This time she is combining her new love of motorcycles with her love of fashion. She is offering custom scooter/​motorcycle jackets for women. Now there is no need to sacrifice style for safety — you can have both!

Yu’s other works include creating the legend of Eva, a journey of introspection, self-​determination, and compassion. There are two books that tell Eva’s story: «Relations that Suck: The Story of Eva and Dries», a photo book for adults and «La Femme Fatale», a story and a tool in the format of deck of cards.

Additionally Yu teaches an all-​levels sewing classes at SHARED weekly.

I was looking for a work space to manage my part time study and i happen to identify shared SF on Google, the very immediate moment i contacted Marilyn over the email.
Marilyn is very professional and very fast at clarifying your questions over email or phone. She gave me a detailed tour of the work place… I very much liked and it worked out very well for me.
I am on this very very reasonably priced flexible plan that i work here only in the evenings and weekends for my projects & assignments in Graduate program…
Work space, Kitchen and rest rooms are all very clean !!! Individual locker is a great advantage !!!
It is been just a month, but I met great minds in programming, gaming, UX and content team at Shared !!!, I greatly appreciate Shared SF and Marilyn for this opportunity !!!

Shared is awesome!
We were looking for a quiet, clean space for our team and we stumbled upon Shared.
Marilyn has been more than helpful in getting everything setup for us and is an excellent communicator!
The space itself it awesome. It’s got a very good vibe, it’s clean, friendly and our team was extremely happy with the experience.
Additionally, we were going to be moving to a new office but construction was delayed for a week. On a SUPER short notice we asked Marilyn if we could stay there for an additional week.
We talked through the details and she came through for us. That takes a HUGE stress off my shoulders on what the heck I was going to do with an engineering team for a week.
Thank you so much Marilyn for all your hard work and dedication! I’d recommend Shared SF for any and all of your coworking space needs!

As an artist, I’ve been renting a private studio at Shared and love showing off the space to friends and clients. There’s a great vibe amongst fellow Shared members. Shared has everything you need to get the creative juices flowing!

I’m truly thankful for having found this awesome space in the heart of the the city. Not only is it clean and well equipped, but it also has a great atmosphere with fantastic people. Marilyn is amazing, taking care of everything and I have nothing to complain about. The co-​working space is great to work on a project or an early stage startup.

Shared is an absolutely rare gem in the city.
Please take a tour if you are looking for a space to make work or design outside of the small confines of your living quarters. This is basically your office in a wide open studio space with your locker. Marilyn, the person you need to speak with, she always maintains the office, kitchen and bathroom tidy and clean. She is super nice and I recommend checking out the space and speaking with her.

If you’re looking for a new coworking space that’s clean, zen and not a bro coding factory, then Shared is your jam.
The owner, Marilyn, is absolutely delightful and accommodating. You’ll meet a great mix of people here, from artists to engineers to musicians, and it’s a nice breath of fresh air (I work in tech and appreciate the variety).
Location is fantastic, pricing is affordable, and the entire place has good energy. You must check it out.

(Unsolicited) In my experience, the sure sign of a well-​run, quality establishment is building maintenance. Some places build new and allow things to get in disrepair — the paint fades, broken lights not replaced, etc. Well-​run places stay on top of that stuff. If the wall gets scratched, it’s fixed. Painting is done regularly, etc.
This week, Marilyn had contractors helping with upkeep work. Some of the walls have been repainted, worn out sections of the wood floor have been re-​varnished, etc. Even though the place is still pretty new and looks nice, regular maintenance is still being performed.

I spent two months trying out many different co working spaces in San Francisco, and finally chose shared. The upstairs co working space is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and completely luminous. I mainly chose it because the amazing light, windows, and skylights. A comfortable, quiet, friendly place to work.

Been working here for a few months now and am still loving it. It hits all my high points: very few interruptions come from the space, WiFi is fast, there’s a FULL kitchen with stove for preparing lunches, snacks and beverages available for purchase, and chat rooms for quick phone calls.
I also really value the community feel Marilyn, the owner, has cultivated. There are few written rules with the understanding being: respect each other and we’ll all be just fine. The best part is that it works!
Thank you, Marilyn and SHARED!

Shared is a great place to get work done. Highly recommend it for folks working on a startup at nights that just need a quiet place to focus, sit, and get fast Internet. Their night shift is a good price and is 6pm-​2am (also includes all day Sat & Sun).

SHARED is exactly how it sounds; a shared, communal workplace with a emphasis on community.
Being an apparel designer, it’s rather difficult to find a shared office space in the city that caters to my profession. The first time i entered this beautiful building a year ago, I became enthralled that the space had a dedicated sewing station, complete with an industrial sewing machine, pattern cutting table, industrial dress form, as well as a commercial serger.
The owner, Marilyn, is as friendly and helpful as it gets. Being an apparel designer herself, it was great to bounce ideas and questions off her and get a real and honest answer.
If you are an artist looking for a quiet, clean workplace with flexible hours, this is the place for you. Don’t trust me? Then go schedule an appointment and let Marilyn show you where your prospective creation could reside.

After several years of dealing with the dust, dirt, and desolation of another large studio space in the Mission, I was lucky to find SHARED, and I am a huge fan of the place. It’s not only clean, it’s also thoughtfully laid out, Marilyn is super friendly and helpful, and it’s got loads of possibilities! As a freelance artist/​illustrator I love that there’s space for me to do my digital work as well as messier studio stuff. It’s great having a clean kitchen to eat and nice people to talk to when you take a break. The price for my weekday membership is very reasonable and it’s so nice that we have a conference room available as well. I hesitate to give away the secret of this hidden gem, but Marilyn really deserves some kudos for putting together such a wonderful place for creative people to work and play!

The space is great. The people are cool. Marilyn (owner and manager) is awesome.
And the price is better than most coworking spaces around.
Add it all up and you have a fantastic coworking space. It’s not your typical tech space with tons of independent engineers and small teams, so if that’s what you want, this isn’t for you. But if you want a laid back place to get work done, with a more diverse set of people, definitely give SHARED a look.

Shared is a premium coworking space.
Location: Near freeways, public transport, parking lots with easy access to downtown and south of market. There are plenty of options nearby for food and supplies. This is close to everything without being overrun with tourists and brocoders. Being south of market means there are occasionally troubled homeless around or floods of Giants fans, but this is more entertaining than problematic.
Facilities: Pleasant and bright functional spaces with an industrial look, good light and temperature control. The desk/​tables and chairs are all adjustable, functional, and comfortable. Net access through WiFi is solid and there is a net connected printer. The place is well kept and managed with a pleasant and positivce attitude. Mostly the place gets modest use and is usually relatively peaceful even when busiest during business hours, but occasionally more members are present and busy and it can get relatively crowded and noisy.
People: Shared attracts a broad range of folks with multiple interests. There are dot commers in the mix, but a lot more than only tech going on. Lots of people are doing all kinds of things here, there are monthly classes and exhibitions and activities, so this is a great place to meet people and share new things. That said, if what you really want is a technology hot house this might not be the best match because there are other coworking spaces around that are are more focused on technology.
Prices: Memberships are competitively priced. This place doesn’t set members up with venture capital, but might be a good enough value to make that unnecessary.

I love Shared. It’s no frills, everything works, and Marilyn is very thoughtful and conscientious about her space.
I’m pretty sensitive to the nonphysical aspects of my environment and it has a big affect on my productivity. This is not a big ego space or a pushy VC space. I feel supported here without feeling pushed or competitive. I feel like it is a privilege to be here.

SHARED has been our (work) home since the day it opened. Marilyn who runs SHARED created a great space that gives you a place to work from, and a community to exchange ideas with. People span all sorts of different backgrounds, from tech to art, fashion, and media.
Our company works in one of the private offices, but from what I hear from other people working here, the shared workspace is nice, and you can rent lockers to stash away your stuff (including screens/​keyboards etc).
In addition to that, SHARED offers workshops, classes, and events, some are more serious, some are just aimed at learning new fun things. For example I took an intro course to the Ukulele. To give you a sense of just how basic the level was: I’ve never played an instrument before.
From a more pragmatic standpoint: SHARED has all amenities you need, including WiFi and a fully stocked kitchen.
