Looking for coworking in El Poblado? In Ciudad del Río, work by the day with meeting rooms and offices on site

People looking for coworking in El Poblado for a full day often also need a place to meet or focus. In Ciudad del Río, NOI brings together a desk, high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited coffee and common areas for a day of work. In the six-month experiment by Bloom, Han and Liang, published in Nature in 2024, 1,612 Trip.com employees in China worked two days at home and three in the office; the arrangement improved satisfaction and cut resignations by one third.

At Calle 17 # 43F-287, NOI's day pass is booked for a full workday. The space includes a desk, Wi-Fi, coffee, common areas and restrooms for people bringing a laptop.

The Trip.com result did not study coworking or Medellín, and it does not show that a shared workplace raises productivity. What it does show is that splitting the week between home and a workplace can support satisfaction without changing performance ratings.

What does a workday at NOI include?

A day at NOI is designed for arriving, settling in and working without setting up a temporary office. The day combines ergonomic furniture, high-speed internet, unlimited coffee and soundproof booths for calls. It also includes printing and copying, a microwave, a place for bicycles and a policy that allows pets.

Access operates 24/7 with a fingerprint or card and continuous security. Packages for several days and workdays of another length are arranged directly with the team.

What if the day includes a meeting or calls for an office?

The workday can shift format without leaving the same place. NOI has meeting rooms for 6, 10 and 14 people, a creative room, soundproof booths and private offices. That means a team conversation or private call does not have to compete with the shared desk.

When a person or team needs an enclosed space, NOI's private offices include furniture, high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, lockers and reception services. They fit teams from one person, with short-term and annual arrangements.

What is Ciudad del Río like for working?

Ciudad del Río can hold a workday that begins at a desk and continues in a meeting room or common area. The Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín is also in Ciudad del Río, at Carrera 44 No. 19A-100. Its presence places the workday in an area where cultural activity is part of the setting.

At NOI, that context means a place to stay when the schedule runs long: continuous access, common areas and places to talk. People who ride in can park their bikes on site.

Does splitting the week between home and a workplace help?

The closest evidence comes from a Chinese technology company, not Medellín. After two years, the hybrid experiment did not change the performance ratings or promotions of people who alternated home and office. Participants also reported saving commuting time and costs.

That leaves a practical, though limited, reading: some weeks call for a table at home and others need a place to work alongside other people, hold a meeting or keep work apart from home. The usefulness of a day pass depends on the project, the team and how those days are shared out.

How is it booked?

Advance booking is arranged with NOI's team. The day pass is for a full workday, while needs for several days or another duration are handled directly with the space. That conversation can also clarify whether the day needs a room, booth or private office.
