I am trying to select a new location for a cowering facility in Denver
and I'm debate the type of building. I noticed that Conjuncture is in
an old mansion and it's really working for them, in fact they are
expanding to the neighboring house. Most other coworking spots are in
office buildings or converted lofts with a few other ones being in
strip malls, although the strip mall coworking facilities are a bit
rare.
>From your experience what do you like the most and why - old mansion
v. open office layout?
My pros and cons:
Old Mansions
Pros: Great home feel, yard and patio access, available cheap street
parking, segmented rooms with up to 8 to 10 cowers in each, lounge
space, kitchen, showers often included for bikers, lower rents.
Cons: Layout can be broken up to 5 larger rooms v. 1 or 2 larger
ones, location is off the main streets, less of a professional feel
(pro and con) for meeting clients at, the lack of a giant open floor
plan prevents larger (15+) people events being held.
Office/Lofts
Pros: Configured to have a giant open floor plan, more of a
professional but casual atmosphere, often in a good location, a
parking lot may be available with the lease, close to public transit,
often closer to business clients of members.
Cons: Higher rents and expensive parking if lot is not available.
What do you think?
