In this short, speakers A, B, and C evaluate a potential commercial/warehouse property. They highlight the building’s abundant windows and a balcony, estimate its age at roughly 25 years, and investigate its prior use—likely a standard rental with a first‑floor office. The conversation shifts to envisioning the space as a coworking venue, noting that post‑COVID entrepreneurs are seeking flexible, part‑time work environments away from home. Speaker A plans to arrange a walkthrough, indicating next steps toward assessing the property’s suitability for a modern coworking concept.
Cool. So I'll call them today and I'll get a walkthrough scheduled. But I love how many windows it has. You can even see right here it has this awesome balcony. It looks— well, based on the pictures, it looks a lot better than the last warehouse we were at.
Maybe newer as well. I think it's— I don't think it's 40 years old. The building looks to be about 25, maybe.
Lucas, do you know what this building was used for?
I just did like a little bit of digging. I think it's a different one that just looks extremely similar, so I'm not sure about this one. If it's the same one that I was thinking about, which it doesn't look like it is, then it was, it was just, it was just normally rented out except for, I believe, the first floor, which was used as the, the guy's own office or part of the first floor at least.
Okay.
And so between this being like a Club Scottsdale and even like a workspace, a coworking space, like all the way across.
So, and I was talking to several entrepreneurs in the area and a lot of them since COVID shut down a lot of these huge apartment business buildings, everybody's working from home, and that's great. But at the same time, they want to go somewhere like maybe once or twice a week, right?
And they don't— and again, they're not wanting to have a full-time office that they have to maintain. Yes, they would much rather have a co-working space, co-office space that they can just come and go, right?
