Today, The Riveter is trying to broaden its appeal by creating a space that is inclusive to all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, ages, and abilities. In Portland, The Riveter’s prices run from $280 a month for a floating desk to $4,500 for a nine-person office. The Portland facility will open July 22.
