Choosing the Right Workspace in Etobicoke and Oshawa

Reception and lounge at DYMON Work Refined Etobicoke.

DYMON WORK REFINED - ETOBICOKE & OSHAWA   |   5 MIN READ

More Canadians are going back to the office. Statistics Canada found that by May 2025, 17.4 per cent of employed people were mostly working from home, down for the fourth year in a row. ¹ Mortgage brokers, real estate agents, consultants, freelancers and startup founders often find themselves choosing between the kitchen table, a coffee shop or a long-term commercial lease.

Flexible workspace sits between those options. You get a professional office without signing a multi-year lease, and you choose the kind of space that suits how you work. Having somewhere to go also helps in ways that are easy to overlook:

• Fewer interruptions. Family, deliveries and household chores are harder to ignore when they’re in the next room.
• People around you. Working alongside other business owners and professionals keeps you inspired and exposed to new ideas. A conversation over coffee or in the lounge can lead to a referral, a partnership or a new client, and networking happens naturally when you see the same faces every week.
• A clear end to the day. Leaving the office in the evening makes it easier to stop working.
• A proper setup. You get a real desk, a quality chair and fast internet without buying them yourself.
• Somewhere to meet clients. A home office rarely works for a client meeting, and a coffee shop isn’t much better.

DYMON Work Refined has two locations: our flagship at 1460 The Queensway in Etobicoke, and 285 Taunton Road East in Oshawa. Both offer a similar range of memberships, and the right one mostly comes down to how often you’ll be in and how much privacy you need. If you’d like a look inside before you visit, our two-minute video walks you through the space.

Co-Working Desks

Co-working is the most flexible option. You take any open seat in the shared space when you arrive, which works well if you come in a few days a week or your schedule changes from one week to the next.

Dedicated Desks

A dedicated desk sits in the same shared space, but it’s assigned to you. Your monitor, files and the chair you’ve adjusted stay where you left them, so it makes more sense if you’re in most days.

 

Fully Furnished Private Offices

Private offices are fully furnished and come in several sizes, from an office for one person up to an office for a team. Terms are flexible, so a business can move into a bigger office as it grows, or a smaller one if plans change.

Private offices come furnished, with storage and natural light.

The right workspace mostly comes down to how often you’ll be in and how much privacy you need.

Virtual Offices

A virtual office gives a home-based business a real street address, at 1460 The Queensway in Etobicoke or 285 Taunton Road East in Oshawa, to use on its website and business cards instead of a home address or P.O. box. It’s also an easy way to get to know the space before committing to a desk or office.

Boardrooms and Event Spaces

Our boardrooms are set up for client meetings, interviews and training sessions, and catering can be arranged. Our Concierge team greets your guests at the front desk.

Prices may change without notice, so please call either location for current pricing, including boardroom and event space rates.

Lounge and Patio

When you need a break from your desk, there’s a fireside lounge, plus a patio for the warmer months.

More Than a Workspace

Most co-working spaces stop at desks and meeting rooms, and a traditional office lease usually comes with less than that. DYMON Work Refined shares a building with the rest of DYMON, so Members have services close at hand that you won’t find at most other workspaces. At our Etobicoke location, that includes The DYMON Store, DYMON Storage, shredding services and DYMON Wine Cellar, all at 1460 The Queensway.

DYMON Wine Cellar, Right Next Door in Etobicoke

DYMON Wine Cellar is next to our Etobicoke location. Its private dining room and tasting rooms are available for corporate meetings, client dinners and celebrations, and the Wine Cellar team arranges the food and wine.

Private cellar owners also become members of the DYMON Wine Cellar Private Members Club, which includes the members’ lounge, networking events and invitation-only winemakers’ dinners. The lounge is open to Wine Cellar members and their guests, and you can add a Wine Cellar membership to your DYMON Work Refined membership.

Storage, Supplies and Shredding

Both locations share a building with DYMON Storage, The DYMON Store and shredding services. When your office starts filling up with inventory, equipment, files or seasonal stock, a storage suite in the same building keeps it close without taking up desk space. The DYMON Store sells moving supplies, storage bins, baskets and other organizing products for setting up an office, and when old files need to go, shredding is available on site.

Getting Here

The Etobicoke location is across the street from IKEA and close to the QEW, the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 427. In Oshawa, you’ll find us at 285 Taunton Road East, where Five Points Mall used to be.
