A Facelift for the Fourth Floor

By The Mill

In 2016, The Mill opened 13,000 square feet of amenity and workspace for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and startups.

Next April, we will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary, so in preparation for that milestone, we are working to enhance and upgrade your experience on our flagship floor. Since 2016, we have grown and iterated to meet the needs of our members and the community.

We look forward to continuing that, and are especially excited to bring the 4th floor into the future with us with updated finishes and additional perks!

ICYMI: Back in April, BPG announced 100 new residential units are coming to the building as part of the 221 W Tenth redevelopment plan. This comes on the heels of completing 250 apartments, celebrated with a ribbon cutting on April 3rd. As the transformation continues upstairs, we figured it’s the perfect time to give the 4th floor its own upgrade.

 

Renovation Starts This summer

Starting this summer, the 4th floor will be temporarily closed for renovation. After nearly a decade of daily use, it’s time to hit refresh and create a space that better serves our members. While it’s getting its makeover, all 4th-floor amenities—including conference rooms, phone booths, pantries, and the community work table—will be offline through the summer and into the fall.

 

What’s Available During Renovation?

All community, dedicated desk, and office members will continue to enjoy:

  • The community terrace – Get your daily dose of Vitamin D when you work or unwind on the terrace—now with a stronger signal. We are adding a new Access Point (AP) to extend Wi-Fi coverage and help you stay connected outside.
  • The 3rd floor lounge and pantry area – Sip on freshly brewed Little Goat Coffee, stay hydrated with chilled or sparkling water (fancy!), and toss in some ice to keep things cool. The fridge and freezer are available if you need to store your food or drinks, and you’ll often find snacks and goodies—think bagels, granola, fresh fruit, and even garden-grown produce—courtesy of our friend and community member, Ray.
  • The recreation zone – Break time? Challenge your coworker—or maybe even your boss—to a game of foosball or shuffleboard. Loser buys lunch! De.Co’s got delicious options these days—want sushi from Al Chu’s, pizza from Pizzeria Bardea, Mediterranean at Sumac, tacos from Taqueria El Chingon, or a pour-over from Bean by Bardea?).

 

Yes, You Can Still Host Events

Planning a gathering? You can still rent our 3rd-floor community spaces, perfect for networking, team socials, or casual community hangouts. All spaces include access to restrooms, and members get discounted rates.

Here’s what’s available:

  • Community Space (Capacity: 200) –  Includes lounge furniture, pantry bar, counter space near games, shuffleboard, and foosball
  • Terrace (Capacity: 100)  – Includes terrace furniture and cornhole—ideal for an after-hours unwind.
  • Party Room (Capacity: 20)  – Includes AV/IT setup, lounge seating, and a dry bar.

Whether you’re hosting a meeting, need a private spot for a call, or are just looking for a quiet space to focus, we’ve got you covered. There are two conference rooms available on the 3rd floor, plus a phone booth in the lounge area for private calls or Zoom meetings.No matter what you need—an office, desk, event space, or conference room—we’ll find a solution for you while the 4th floor is temporarily closed this summer and into the fall.

 

Stay Tuned

We’re looking forward to unveiling a brighter, better 4th floor lin the coming months—refreshed and redesigned to spark productivity, creativity, and community connection. We’ll keep you posted as things progress. 

Got questions? Just shoot us an email and we’ll get back to you ASAP. We’re always here to help!
