A Rock Hill real estate firm will bring coworking into the heart of the city’s downtown Knowledge Park area.

SVN/Southern Commercial Real Estate this week announced plans to open Collision Cowork on March 1 on the second floor of the York County Regional Chamber of Commerce building on Main Street. Collision Cowork will be run by co-owners Mark Mayfield and Randy Graham.

Mayfield said it is a good investment for his firm and for the future of the downtown area. SVN/Southern Commercial Real Estate will soon operate in a space nearly double the size of its previous home on India Hook Road.

“We have created a fun, cool, and comfortable space in a renovated building with deep history,” Mayfield said. “Exposed brick walls, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, natural light…. it’s a charming environment for sure.”

Coworking is a model that allows working professionals who need space to work, but may only need a desk or a small office.

Collision Cowork will offer shared space with seating, open work areas, dedicated desk, private offices, Comporium Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, free parking, printing services, free coffee and a kitchen, Mayfield said.

“Coworking space is great for our local professionals and businesses,” said Rob Youngblood, president of York County Regional Chamber of Commerce. “We’re eager to help make it happen.”
