The latest must-have amenity in luxury New York City apartment buildings: a designated coworking space for remote workers. Apartment developers are building out private offices, conference rooms and even podcasting booths to capitalize on a lingering work-from-home trend. "A coworking space was actually the top of my list when I was touring," said Lauren Wells, a fashion designer and a resident at 420 Kent in Williamsburg. "When I need to meet with a customer for work, I can just bring up some of my work create a little space up there." Rent at each of the luxury rental buildings can run up to $7,950 per month for a one-bedroom apartment, while a studio for sale can cost nearly $1 million.
