@Tony
Hey there Tony!
I'm working on preliminary plans on surveying local folks to drum up
interest, if any. I'd like very much to discuss this further with you
at your convenience. Perhaps a visit to NWC when you're available?
This way I can potentially see what benefits and challenges that
awaits me. >_<
Let me know what's the best way to reach you.
@Angel
That's fantastic that you got a good consensus on where to start your
space. I also would like to have features such as what you listed,
and looking at other coworking spaces for comparison. Of course, I'll
settle on the realities of what can be achieved and what the
community wants.

warehouse....filled with IKEA furniture...and...and...SWEDISH
MEATBALLS!!! - ***End Dream Sequence***

Dave,
Hello neighbor! I think Felicity is spot on. Don't worry about
opening a space yet at all.
If you have a feeling that your area has some kind of a coworking
need, confirm those suspicions-- find a simple, lightweight way to
get the word out and attract interest. Is there a cafe or public
space nearby that you can use as a temporary gathering spot?
I'd be happy to grab a coffee or something if you want to chat some
more!
Cheers,
Tony

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
