Working from home has its perks, but there’s something special about spending the day around other people. At The Malin East Austin, workers can settle in with their laptop, grab a coffee, focus on work, and still feel connected to a vibrant community working alongside one another.
“The rising tide lifts all ships here.”
-Emily Testa LeMaster, The Malin

“Workspaces deserve the same care as a home, restaurant, or hotel,” says Emily Testa LeMaster, Head of Marketing. That philosophy shows up in the details, from the furniture and lighting to the fresh flowers, coffee, and comfortable spaces designed for different kinds of work. There are quiet corners for focusing, communal areas for settling in, private spaces for calls, and meeting rooms for getting the team together.
But for a member’s workspace, the people nearby are just as important as the space itself. The Malin doesn’t rely on forced networking or a packed calendar of mixers to bring members together. Instead, connection happens naturally throughout the day, from recognizing someone from the coffee bar, striking up a conversation between meetings, or maybe discovering that the person working nearby has a similar business, skill, or idea.
“The rising tide lifts all ships here,” Emily asserts. There’s a sense that everyone benefits from being surrounded by people who are curious, ambitious, and building toward their future.
That makes The Malin’s version of socializing a little different. Patrons don’t have to walk in ready to make friends or collect business cards. Just simply show up, work, and let familiarity build over time. The same faces become part of daily routines, casual conversations become relationships, and workdays start to feel a little less solitary.

At The Malin, that next business partner, collaborator, client, or friend might be sitting a few feet away.
