Co-working space rises in city

The three partners of SproutRI are all customers, as well as owners, of the co-working space they’ve set up at the Rising Sun Mills campus at 166 Valley St. in Providence.

Jim Van, founder, of Providence, and fellow partners John Kevorkian, of East Greenwich, and Zachary Weinburger, of Providence, formed the limited liability company in September, held a soft opening in early December and opened officially for business on Jan. 4 with 20 additional clients.

The cooperative mix of offices and meeting space, supplemented with a conference room that can seat 21, has the capacity to serve 100 clients, with some taking up dedicated, full-time residency. Others use “hot-desk” services on a daily and monthly part-time basis.

“We’re developing a community here,” said Van, who has launched six smaller co-working centers in Greater Toronto through his private, Providence-based information technology firm, Logicomm. •
