Rick and I went to look at a property tonight on Maple St., 2 blocks north of Beacon Studios. This is 4000 sq. feet of raw space for $2500 a month. That works out to be about $.62 a square foot. There are three spaces already built out but the rest is raw space. Unlike many of the other spaces we’ve looked into, this has heat, plumbing and electric ready to go. The downside is, of course, that there are no walls and it would have to be built out at the expense of whoever moves in. The upside, this is the cheapest space we have seen yet.

How to approach this…I have met the landlord and have spoken to him about a group of artists using the space which he is not opposed to. To rent this space there would have to be some business arrangement wherein the landlord would receive one check for the full amount of the rent so someone has to step up and take responsibility for that one check. Or a business group must be formed.

I have checked into every space I can think of. After this, I am out of ideas.

Please have a look at the pictures, discuss and let me know what you think.
