Must have

Nice to have

  • 2,000 to 25,000 square feet stand-alone, zoned for mixed use.
  • Target of $0.50 to $1.00 per square foot total monthly cost.
  • Heavy power (400 amps or more, 3-phase).
  • Open flex floor plan.
  • Fenced back yard or secured side area for working on large projects.
  • Secured storage.
  • Roll-up door from yard into building for vehicle projects.
  • Nice enough area that a parent would drop off their children for classes, and feel safe if we offered intro to electronics projects classes.

(2,000 square feet at $0.50 a square foots is $1,000 in rent a month.) If everyone who came last week paid $100 a month we would just cover the rent(not counting security deposits, utilities). Ultimately we hope to have a large membership but can we count on this to begin with? 1000 sq. ft. is still quite big. Especially for 10 to 15 people.

Can't have

  • Heavy lead paint
  • Asbestos
  • Limited ventilation options
  • No working plumbing

Legal / insurance / zoning considerations

Possible Leads

  • 2980 Falls road. The property is on the market now by Krauss Real Property Brokerage, but there are some leasers (squatters?) there now. Nice location on a bike route. Across the street from Ruintown. 410-329-9898.
