The Gathering Spot, Atlanta’s premier Black-owned networking and co-working hub, is expanding.
A second ATL location will open at The Interlock West Midtown over the summer. The 60,000-square-foot spot includes a former WeWork space and a rooftop restaurant and pool with 360-degree city views.
Founded by Ryan Wilson and T.K. Petersen, The Gathering Spot has become a hub for entrepreneurs, creatives, and executives. It offers spaces that go beyond traditional co-working environments. With its expansion, the team aims to redefine professional community membership, prioritizing both productivity and personal well-being.
Retreat caters to the evolving needs of modern professionals. Overlooking the Atlanta skyline, the space will serve as a dynamic hub where members host business meetings, network with like-minded individuals, and take a break from the daily grind, all under one roof.
“The Gathering Spot has always been a space where meaningful connections and bold ideas come to life,” said Ryan Wilson, Co-Founder and CEO of The Gathering Spot. “With Retreat at The Gathering Spot, we’re expanding that vision—not only providing a dynamic environment for business meetings and networking but also creating a respite from the day-to-day.

This expansion comes at a time when hybrid work models and flexible workspaces are more in demand than ever. The club creates an environment where professionals balance productivity with a social, wellness-oriented lifestyle.
