— In a work culture defined by hybrid schedules, distributed teams, and a renewed focus on experience, the best workplaces are no longer measured by square footage alone but by how well they support focus, hospitality, and meaningful connection. That’s the lane Serendipity Labs has owned since its founding, building a network of upscale, professional workspaces designed to feel welcoming, secure, and ready for how people actually work today.
The company behind “Inspiration at Work”
Serendipity Labs was built to be the trusted alternative to the traditional office: a flexible, hospitality-forward workplace for individuals, entrepreneurs, and enterprise teams who want a place “close to home but not at-home.” Founder, Chairman, and CEO John P. Arenas brings deep experience in commercial real estate and co-workspace services, having founded multiple national workplace brands and ultimately launching Serendipity Labs in 2011 to create an upscale, service-animated model that works for employees, employers, and landlords alike.
Across its locations, the brand emphasizes professional design standards, enterprise-grade infrastructure, and an experience that feels elevated with private offices, team suites, coworking, meeting rooms, and the kind of on-site support that makes the workday smoother.
Now open: Serendipity Labs Costa Mesa – Pacific Arts Plaza
Serendipity Labs’ newest West Coast destination is now open at Pacific Arts Plaza, positioned in the South Coast Arts District with the best of Orange County access between North and South OC and conveniently close to major freeways and John Wayne Airport.
This Costa Mesa location is designed as a secure, customizable workspace with private offices and coworking options for individuals and teams, plus on-site conveniences like dining, a fitness center, and conference facilities all within a building complex noted as LEED Platinum and ENERGY STAR certified.
Inside, members can expect the details that make an everyday work routine feel effortless: meeting and event spaces with included Wi-Fi and AV tech, drop-in coworking and private day office options, and virtual office plans for teams that need a professional business address and flexible access.
In true Costa Mesa fashion, the luxury experience extends outside the walls: members enjoy access to the Noguchi Garden for outdoor work breaks and meetings, and the world-class South Coast plaza a short walk away with great restaurants and top tier shopping.
On-site leadership: hospitality that feels personal
A workspace can be beautifully designed but it’s the people who make it feel like a community. At Serendipity Labs Costa Mesa, the on-site team (including Justin, accompanied by Lindsay and Harrison) is positioned as the front line of that experience – helping new members get oriented, supporting meeting needs, and keeping the space running at a high standard.
Justin Ferland, General Manager of Sales and Operations, brings a hospitality-driven approach to workplace service, with his professional background rooted in senior leadership within the hospitality industry – an ideal match for a brand built around a hosted, elevated member experience. Guided by the belief that a high tide raises all ships, Justin approaches leadership as a shared pursuit of progress, where individual success strengthens the collective.
“Our main goal is to foster collaboration and community for our members in a hospitality setting,” says Ferland.
Community in motion: Upcoming events at the Lab
Serendipity Labs doesn’t just provide a place to work, it curates opportunities to connect. The Costa Mesa calendar includes a steady rhythm of community programming, and one of the most anticipated evenings this month is the:
Sunset Business Social & Open House to be held on Friday, February 27, 2026 (5:00 PM – 8:30 PM)
Hosted at Serendipity Labs Costa Mesa at the Pacific Arts Plaza, this event is designed as an elevated open house with “sunset vibes,” sponsored bites and drinks, a DJ-led atmosphere, and relaxed networking throughout the multi-level workspace. Eventbrite RSVP is required (and complimentary), with member perks including early swag giveaways, photo moments, and raffle prizes.
A new standard for Costa Mesa professionals
For founders, remote professionals, consultants, and teams who want a serious workspace without the friction of a long-term lease, Serendipity Labs Costa Mesa is built to deliver what matters most: a premium setting, a trusted support team, and a community that makes work feel both productive and connected.
If you’re curious, the best way to understand the Lab is to see it in person, especially at the Sunset Business Social & Open House on February 27.
