Co-Working at the "iBuilding"

Plans have moved forward with the co-working space in the "iBuilding" at 170 Westminster Street in Downtown Providence. We are in talks with a party to launch the space, and are working through design, branding, and infrastructure issues at the moment. There are still opportunities for others to get involved with the project in a leadership capacity...in fact we ENCOURAGE it.

 

The owners of the "iBuilding" are committed to the project and are offering to provide the space to the selected party with no monetary commitment. The space will be updated by the Landlord and leased on a cash-flow basis...meaning the Landlord only makes money when the co-working facility makes money. This is a VERY RARE opportunity for folks who are interested in building a business. We would like to speak to anyone interested in being apart of building the operation from a grassroots level.

 

Enormous UPSIDE available for all you business minded entreprenuers out there. To discuss further please email mfair@hayessherry.com

My name is Matt, and I'm in the commercial real estate business but have become a Providence Geeks Club enthusiast. I'm focusing my work on helping technology oriented companies find suitable office space (FYI: this is a free service to tenants, give me a call if you're interested in learning more 273-1980).

It just so happens that I'm working with a building owner who has recently purchased the Federal Reserve building located at 170 Westminster Street in downtown Providence, the corner of Westminster and Dorrance street.

We are converting the property into an "iBuilding" and will be incorporating several technology upgrades including free building wi-fi, digital directories, tenant web portals, and bandwidth infrastructure allowing tenants to have plug-and-play data access at up to 100 mega bits per second.

We're currently dealing with several Shared Workplace business's about opening a facility at the "iBuilding". It would be the perfect fit! I would really like to find out how many people you guys/gals think would be interested in this type of facility (30, 70, 200)?? I'm eager to receive your feedback!!
