Hi Dave,
I think you need to look strongly at the demographics in choice and
just
as in real estate, location is important. The space needs to be
convenient
to your market. Does the area you are looking at have the
demographics
of people who will be using a coworking space? My initial instinct is
no, based
on the very little you mentioned. Ultimately, as learned from people
like
Alex of Indy Hall and Tony of New Work City, you have to build the
community and
if you have a strong community before you open the space, you will be
able to
discuss with them where they would want it which will help you build
your success.
Best of luck.

Hi there all!
I wish to join the coworking movement by starting a facility
around my
neighborhood in NYC, in the area east or south east of Manhattan near
the river. Looking at Citizen Space’s philosophy on coworking
(collaboration, openness, community, localism, sustainability, and
accessibility), I believe this movement (especially in the current
economy) would benefit this area, dominated by low-income housing/
immigrant families, the most.
Looking at current NYC coworking facilities, they are located in a
relatively bustling area of commerce and higher value real
estate. My
question for the NYC fellows (other facilites around the world please
chime in too!) is, what made you decide to open your coworking space
in your chosen/current location?
Looking forward to hearing thoughts on this issue, happy cow-orking…
eh..coworking!
Dave
