Hi All -- I'm new to this list and community and feel really warm about both. I'm starting a space in Detroit (anyone else here in Detroit?). It's actually a combination/mixed use building that will also contain a co-working space (with small arty hotel, art space, event space, mentoring program). We are going through a rebranding now but the current website is DetroitHotelProject.com and facebook.com/Detroithotelproject
New name and identity in september!! I just had a tactical question about operational costs -- most I understand (utilities, tax, insurance, part time staff, etc) and I have that folded into the overall numbers of the project. But I wonder here what people might spend on a space for 15-20 people on things like Office Supplies (do people have experience getting local support from office supply stores?) Software subscriptions Coffee, tea, simple snacks Cleaning supplies I saw Alex's really helpful breakdown on Quora but it didn't separate out these important misc items from an overall operational budget of $3600 for 1800 square foot indy hall. Also, I'd like to add -- as a newcomer to this list and a longtime community builder/participant, I have not seen this kind of collective energy since the early internet culture of the mid 90's. I have so much respect for what you are all building together and I hope to become a valuable member as I also learn and grow in this project. Thank you and many sparkles! ./s -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group. To post to this group, send email to coworking@googlegroups.com.
