What OfficeKey does

OfficeKey is a family-owned shared workspace provider operating five locations across the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area, including Downtown Cincinnati (Scripps Center), Blue Ash, Northern Kentucky (Florence), Rookwood, and West Chester. Founded in 1984 originally as HQ and rebranded in 2019 around a "Proworking" positioning that emphasizes professional, distraction-free environments over community-oriented coworking, the company serves over 260 clients — predominantly SMBs such as solo legal practitioners, financial advisors, consultants, real estate agents, and small professional firms, with occasional enterprise satellite use (e.g., Aditya Birla Group).

The company offers a tiered subscription product set: Business Presence ($220/month, virtual office), Office Service ($440/month, premier plan with 24/7 access and 14–33 hours of meeting room allowance), and Dedicated Workspaces ($550+/month, private offices), plus a non-member pay-per-use room rental option and ancillary services (notary, printing, additional member slots at $50/month). Underlying infrastructure includes a proprietary multi-location access system, VOIP phone system, high-speed WiFi, video conferencing equipment, wireless screen mirroring, and an online booking portal alongside traditional phone and in-person tour sales channels.

OfficeKey generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions, with supplementary income from meeting room rentals to non-members and ancillary services. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven — in-person facility tours, phone inquiries, monthly Key Connections networking lunches, and partnerships with local chambers and professional associations drive client acquisition. The company is family-owned (second-generation under Justin Myers as Owner & General Manager, with founder Dave Myers), carries no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership, and operates with approximately 10–12 staff across its five locations.
