A nearly 20,000-square-foot coworking space with more than 50 offices for local startups is coming to the newly minted Bethesda Crossing building on Wisconsin Avenue.

UberOffices, the coworking office company with facilities in Tysons, Arlington and Dupont Circle will officially open up shop at 7315 Wisconsin Ave. on May 19.

Founder and CEO Raymond Rahbar said he expects many of the companies will come from the life sciences, biotechnology and technology sectors.

Bethesda Crossing, 7315 Wisconsin Ave.“That will be a little different than Tysons and Arlington,” Rahbar said. “We think this is a great market for us. Right now, all the media spotlight is on D.C. for good reason, but Arlington, Bethesda and Tysons are still great market and filled with great companies.”

UberOffices opened its Dupont Circle office share in March. Rahbar said the Bethesda space will build on the experience the company had building out that property.

The first 20 companies that sign up will get the rest of 2014 half-off. Coworking spaces allow startups to have an office without the cost of going it alone. There are traditionally offices that will fit one or two people, starting at rents of $1,000 a month.

The space also offers a common kitchen area and a number of conference rooms, plus single desks that can be rented out for around $300 a month.

MRP Realty, which bought the Air Rights building last year and gave it the Bethesda Crossing moniker, is putting the building through a $30 million renovation project.

UberOffices will have a launch party for the Bethesda location in late May.
