New Bedford, MA has been called the city that lit the world for being a leading producer of lamp oil in the 19th century. The nickname has become relevant once again thanks to the opening of Union Energy Center, a co-working space for energy-focused businesses. We hope to make New Bedford a hub for companies that focus on solar, wind, hydrothermal and other renewable energy sources. Designed by Charles Brigham and constructed in 1897, the building has a rich history. At one time, it held the third largest bank in the U.S. We converted it into a co-working space with a conference room for tenants who want to establish a presence in Downtown New Bedford.
