COVINGTON, La. (press release) – Palette, a workspace community for entrepreneurs, will open its first location in Louisiana at the end of 2024. Located in the office complex at 201 Holiday Boulevard in Covington, the project will give the Northshore community a centrally-located, multi-functional workspace that aims to fuel creativity, networking and big ideas.
Palette was founded by Louisiana native Catherine Hover, who built two successful Palette locations in Saratoga Springs and Schenectady, New York. After successfully launching and scaling communities in New York, Hover set her eyes on impacting her home state with an expanded and enhanced concept for the Northshore community. Co-founders of Palette Northshore include former President and CEO of Stirling Properties Marty Mayer, commercial real estate advisor Bradley Cook and local entrepreneur Rory Gallardo.
“Much more than coworking and event space, Palette empowers individuals and businesses to showcase their ideas, ambitious goals and be part of something bigger than themselves. Palette embodies innovation, inclusivity and support, providing resources and opportunities for people to connect, grow and succeed in business and life. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or thinking of starting a business, Palette is here to inspire, support and be your partner every step of the way,” said Palette founder Catherine Hover in a press release.
Palette Northshore’s physical space, designed by Greenleaf Architects, will feature multiple co-working spaces and private offices, event space, conference rooms, a podcast studio, outdoor workspace and a connected café. Members will also enjoy proactive concierge services tailored to their evolving needs, and continuous educational initiatives and connective events designed to inform, inspire, and foster community.
“In collaboration with our network of strategic partners, Palette’s resources and programming will address the unique needs of professionals from various backgrounds – from established business leaders to startups to remote workers – all under one roof. This community is the first of its kind on the Northshore,” says Palette Co-founder Marty Mayer.
Palette Northshore is strategically partnered with various organizations across the region who are aligned with fostering the entrepreneurial journey, including St. Tammany Corporation, STartUP Northshore, Greater New Orleans Inc., The Idea Village, Southeastern Louisiana University and more.
“We are excited about the launch of Palette Northshore’s collaborative working space in St. Tammany,” said St. Tammany Corporation CEO Chris Masingill. “Flexible workspaces like Palette are a valued component of a healthy entrepreneurial ecosystem. By continuing to support entrepreneurship on the Northshore, we’re attracting and retaining the talent that will drive our region’s future investment. St. Tammany Corporation and STartUP Northshore are committed to ensuring our local businesses and entrepreneurs have the support they need to thrive and to pave the way for continued economic success.”
A limited number of Palette Founding Memberships (discounted to annual dues of $2025 – $168.75 per month – for the lifetime of their membership for those who join before Nov. 1) are now available. Benefits include being part of the grand opening event, featured spotlights in all Palette launch press and events, and access to the Palette community for one year beginning in 2025.
Founding Corporate Memberships are also available (rates vary). Corporate members gain access to the space for events, off-site meetings, marketing opportunities and office space for their organizations. Corporate members can take advantage of numerous workforce benefits like professional development, community engagement, and access to a network of highly energized talent.
The public is invited to see the space, which will soon be under renovation, at a community preview event on Tuesday, Aug. 27 from 5-7 p.m. Refreshments will be provided, and the Palette founders will share their plans for the project’s development.
