Store, ship, build, and run your business — all from one flexible home base
The Loading Dock knows how crucial flexibility is for early-stage companies. We created a workspace where entrepreneurs can learn, grow, and thrive together by blending the community and resources of coworking with the scale and functionality of warehouse space—introducing the concept of cowarehousing.
Our cowarehouse model offers scalable options, secured suites for inventory management, shared equipment to effectively kit and fulfill orders, daily on-site shipping & receiving, and a loading dock to optimize your logistical operations.
Scalable warehouse space that fits your needs.
Our cowarehouse offers flexible membership options to meet the needs of your scaling company.
Whether it’s time to move your business out of your house, expand your customer base by shifting away from brick & mortar to eCommerce, or simply need more space to scale your organization’s efficiency, The Loading Dock is a space uniquely designed for your company to thrive.
It’s so much more than storage.
With daily pick-ups, shared equipment and a loading dock, cowarehousing is the perfect solution for e-commerce companies, online retailers, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies, makers, kitting & fulfillment, pick and pack, flex space and more.
All cowarehouse memberships come with 24/7 access to coworking facilities for all of your front-of-office and back-of-office needs.

What Our Cowarehouse Customers Are Saying
“I came to the Loading Dock for a few reasons - it felt homey with a sense of community. I liked that it was flexible in terms of space sizes and rental agreements. And I liked that it was temperature controlled. My favorite part of working here has been seeing other product based businesses grow.”
- Minni Marwaha, Deebocare
“We had been bouncing around coworking spaces for a while and were introduced to the Cowarehousing concept which seemed to be a perfect balance between what we loved about co-working with our growing need for more convenient logistics.”
- Rob Andrews, United Futsal
