Nestled among the swaying palms and Spanish-inspired architecture of west Los Angeles is Industrious Westwood, one of our most unique California coworking spaces.
Take in the view or hit the streets to explore cultural spots, both old and new, as you experience all that this little neighborhood has in store. Let’s explore what makes Industrious Westwood the best coworking space in Los Angeles for teams of all sizes.
Where is Industrious Westwood?
Judging by its name, it probably comes as no surprise that Industrious Westwood is located on the 17th Floor of Westwood Center at 1100 Glendon Ave. The building and Industrious location are part of the charming Westwood Village, a lively and diverse community right on the southwest border of the UCLA campus.
Head in any direction outside of Industrious Westwood to explore the area’s many restaurants, movie theaters, and big-name retailers. Everything about Westwood is bright, open, and colorful, from its architecture to its culture. Since it’s so close to campus, Westwood is a young neighborhood full of energy and creativity. There’s an almost beachiness to the area’s aesthetic, though it’s totally surrounded by land. Crisp white buildings, shady palm trees, and UCLA banners line the streets, creating an atmosphere that feels classically Californian.

What’s Special About Westwood Center?
The eye-grabbing Westwood Center stands proud and tall over the Village with an impressive 22 stories of office space. Tenants of the building are free to take advantage of all of its unique amenities, including a ground-floor restaurant, barber, 24-hour security, and valet services.
What stands out most about Westwood Center, though, is undoubtedly its striking facade and vibrant colors. You won’t be able to miss it, especially among the Mediterranean-style architecture surrounding it. Its modern shape almost resembles a cruise ship floating in a sea of warm hues and greenery. The building’s look is so iconic, in fact, that’s received worldwide attention and been dubbed by BOMA International as an Office Building of the Year.
You don’t have to look hard to notice that Westwood Center is covered in windows, and for good reason. It’s perfectly positioned to face the water and let in tons of natural light, which creates an energizing and truly gorgeous space to be in no matter what time of year it is. Once you step inside, you’ll be greeted with a clean, professional lobby that clearly communicates it’s time to get to business.
What’s Near Me When I’m Working at Industrious Westwood?
Step outside the Westwood Center to take a short walk to one of the several nearby food spots in the Village, including Cava, Tender Greens, and more. As you explore the area, you’ll likely be able to sense the fact that it’s close to a college campus. Small and casual eateries, coffee shops, taco joints, and bars are easy to come by, as are popular retail chains like Urban Outfitters. And, with quick access to everything from hair salons to beauty supply stores and yoga studios, you’ll always have what you need to look (and feel) your best!
If you’re looking to enjoy the outdoors for a while, head over to the nearby Westwood Gardens Park to watch the birds or enjoy a nice picnic. If you’re willing to be a bit more adventurous, take a 10 to 15-minute walk up to the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden to enjoy some truly inspiring displays of California’s plant life.
Want to connect with the area’s residents and their histories? Cross the street and head a few blocks over to the Los Angeles National Cemetery or visit the Hammer Museum. When you need to grab a bite to eat or pick up some groceries on the way home, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and local markets have you covered. And, of course, you’ll be less than 10 miles from the Santa Monica State Beach and Pier.
