Founded in 2016, Ayeka opened its first location earlier this year, in Tel Aviv’s southern neighborhood of Florentin. The 21,500-square-foot facility (2,000 square meters) features shared office space, private offices, conference rooms, a pool and a fitness gym.

The average monthly membership price at Ayeka’s Florentin location is $500 (NIS 1,800), and the average price for renting a desk is $740 (NIS 2,600).

Ms. Chen told Calcalist that a Jerusalem coworking space would be the first of the five new locations to be opened. Occupying a 32,300-square-foot (3,000 square meters) building, the Jerusalem office will offer amenities such as a gym, a photography studio, conference rooms, a gallery, and private suites. A second Tel Aviv location is planned to open next, in the Old North area of the city.
In August, Calcalist reported that Ayeka announced it would receive payment by bitcoin, in addition to traditional payment methods.
