FTS Insights official • This is a modest but useful ecosystem signal for Sofia. Flexible workspace operators are still investing in formats tailored to startup and tech teams, and the product is no longer just desk space. The Alabin launch points to a more segmented market, where location, design and community fit are part of the positioning.

Key Takeaways
  • Puzl is growing its Sofia presence with a second site in the city.
  • The new location is designed for IT companies and startup teams, not a general office audience.
  • The company is testing a different workspace identity with The Atelier concept.
  • Coworking in Sofia continues to evolve through specialization, design and central-city positioning.
Why this matters
  • It adds centrally located workspace capacity for Sofia’s startup and IT ecosystem.
  • The opening shows Puzl is still expanding its physical footprint in the region.
  • The Atelier concept signals product differentiation beyond a standard coworking offer.
  • For founders and tech teams, workspace remains part of the city’s support infrastructure.

Article Summary

The new location expands Puzl CowOrKing’s presence in Sofia with a workspace positioned for the IT industry and the startup community. It is housed in a five-storey building on Alabin 58 and can accommodate up to 180 people.

According to the source, the opening marks the company’s third shared workspace and follows its existing locations in Sofia and Budapest. The new site also introduces a different design direction.

Unlike the industrial style of Puzl’s space in Sofia’s former Vitosha factory and its Budapest location in a former textile factory, the Alabin office is built around a bohemian, urban concept called The Atelier. The shift suggests a more differentiated approach to how flexible office space is packaged for specific communities and city settings.
