In this short walkthrough, the speakers tour a commercial warehouse that stands out for its plentiful windows and a balcony, which they view as attractive assets compared to a previous property. They estimate the building is roughly 25 years old, younger than a typical 40‑year‑old warehouse. Lucas shares limited research, suggesting the building may have been primarily rented out with the first floor possibly serving as a private office. The group then pivots to discuss the post‑COVID landscape: many entrepreneurs have shifted to remote work, yet they seek occasional, flexible office space—perhaps once or twice a week. They consider whether this modern‑looking warehouse could be repurposed into a coworking or flexible workspace to meet that emerging demand.

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 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?
