Re: [Coworking] coworking building without parking spaces

2019-02-21 Thread Caner Onoglu
I don't have any data but I would guess your potential clients/coworkers
may less likely own a car and need parking space because using public
transport, bike, walking or taking uber taxi suits better to their life
style.

[Coworking] coworking building without parking spaces

2019-02-21 Thread Michael Jon
I've spent about 6 months now looking at properties for opening a coworking 
space.  The first building I looked at still looks to be the best option 
and is still on the market today.  This building has everything that I am 
looking for - big and open, located in a popular part of the city next to 
coffee shops and restaurants,  has two apartments attached to it which I 
can rent out for additional income.  However, there is no parking besides a 
small alley way that could probably only fit 2 cars.  Is this something 
that I should be concerned about?  This building is also located in an area 
of the city where parking seems to always be difficult to find.   

Thank you!

[Coworking] Re: Furniture for Spaces

2019-02-21 Thread Sean
Resurrecting an older (original post.) Long time lurker of this group - 
coworking has interested me for over 10 years - and now have a question 
prompted by this recent post...

https://sheraton.marriott.com/the-collective/behind-design-community-table/

First, though, some background: where I live, most coworking = the 
wework's of the world, which, IMO, is (small) office sub-leasing. So I had 
the idea for "pop-up" coworking spaces in unrented/idle commercial space. I 
have a few nibbles from space owners/agents and now am poking around for 
furniture - specifically desks - that might have travel to a few spaces 
over time. I've always thought used desks would be cheap/cool/eclectic, but 
am personally very picky where I set up shop when in an open space.

That all said, any rec's for *countertop height community desks*? 

PS, if you run a great space yourself and are interested in consulting on 
operations, MARCOM and/or tech, please let me know.
