It was tough. DT Canandaigua does not offer much in terms of office space. Much space has been converted into apartments or is for sale. I did not want to consider for sale properties as the new owners may want to do renovations which may negatively impact a co-work space. Also the holiday season made the search harder.
But today we have terms for an agreement. The office is located in the office building called the Bristol Coach Plaza. The space is located in the ground floor and is about 1700 square feet. There are 3 large rooms in the front and 5 smaller private rooms in the back. I will set up the co-working space in the large rooms. One room will be reception/lounge and coffee area. The corner room will be work area and the third will be a conference room.
I have to do some renovations and the landlord will give me free rent for the month to get them done. The renovations are painting and re-carpeting the common areas. This should take about 2 weeks to do. In the meantime, I will need to get some the router, printer, furniture, insurance, and assorted office stuff assembled.
A friend hooked me up with some office furniture but I will need some more. ( any leads appreciated.) I may be able to pick up some desks at the ReStore - the habitat for humanity second hand shop.
I will post some pics of the space shortly.
