Hi Chris, Google Alerts sent me your post this morning. The Google bots have an amazingly efficient connection to us! :-)
I am a co-founder and M.D. of Habitaz Global Workspaces and rather flattered that you've found us so far away from our base in Joburg, South Africa. Habitaz is a 24/7 vibey blend between a community cafe (with only the best freshly ground Etheopian coffee), a business class lounge, hot - desking environment (like you would find at the likes of Accenture, KPMG or other progressive hot-desking consultancy firms), office suites, project rooms, meeting rooms and informal collaboration spaces. We aim to expand to 20 - 30 centres in South Africa and Africa, and are opening our second centre in the beautiful city of Cape Town towards the end of 2007. What makes Habitaz very different from incubators, and serviced office businesses is the rich services layer we offer (admin support, document printing and binding services, technology support, accounting services, call answering services, call centre services, car wash, errant services etc.) and our ability to develop our own systems for the facilities management and billing functions. We offer pre-paid (per hour) billing all the way up to monthly and annual contracts. I am pleased to say that the model works extremely well (the centre is very poular with start ups and mobile workers alike, and we have even signed on a few corporate mobile workers). We would be glad to share any experiences of what works (and the hundred thinks that didn't!) in making a shared work environment work.
