At HUB116, our half-floor suites offer a great middle ground for teams that want more privacy, more identity, and room to grow without taking on more space than they need. This third-floor suite is a good example. It offers an open workstation layout with room for collaboration, plus a private office and dedicated phone room that aren’t pictured here. And because the suite is part of the HUB1
