Hello all - This is a long story that I'll make as short as possible...
I operate a video production company in San Diego. We recently purchased a building. However, the building is too large for our purposes, so we're planning to rent out space. Primarily we're going to rent space as "executive suites" that cater to creative businesses. As I was describing my idea to a very smart (and very progressive) business person, he said to me "It sounds like what you're describing is a co-working space. Maybe you should think about that." Looking at information about co-working online, I'm a <i>little</i> concerned about the viability of the concept (I have yet to read a blog or news article where a co-working space has to turn away tenants because they're wildly successful and full to capacity), so I'm thinking about making a portion of the available space a co-working location. I have a couple questions for the group before I make the plunge: 1) ARE people having financial success operating a space using the co- working concept? 2) Is there interest for a co-working space in San Diego? 2a) Is there interest even if the space isn't downtown, but still centrally located (Kearny Mesa)? 3) What do clients of co-working spaces seem to enjoy? Are there amenities or services that make some co-working spaces more appealing than others? 4) Any "gotchas" I should avoid? Thanks and I look forward to participating in the co-working community! -- Brent Altomare Executive Producer Groovy Like a Movie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
