Hi Josh,

Congrats on starting to think about a new coworking space in Redmond!
We're in Redmond too, and we're always interested in connecting with

Coworking in Recession

Hi, everyone

Are any of you seeing any difference because of the recession - good
or bad? Is anyone changing their strategies? I know I've seen a couple
of spaces offer up "Pink Slip Specials" and such. Has that been
successful?

We at Sandbox Suites had an influx of people in January (as did others
on this list) and toward the end of the month actually expanded. But
Feb. has been pretty slow. Would love to know how others are doing.

Yes, the link to our blog would probably be helpful, wouldn't
it...? ;)

Re: Coworking in Recession

We've typically seen a surge every January and September for the past
few years.  Although we did have a Jan surge this year like in the
past, it wasn't as big as usual, and we also lost a bunch of people,
including one of our biggest renters.  It was a group of folks working
remotely for their headquarters in NH.  The main company got hit hard
by the economy and laid off a bunch of folks, and asked the rest to
work from home to save on expenses.  Another of our tenants was also
fired (and his company was paying his rent at our offices), and others
who had tenuous start-ups have closed up shop (I think we've lost 4 or
5 of these in the last 2 months).  There are still new folks coming
through, and a lot of start-up folks holding strong still, but it's
been pretty rocky the last couple of months, and I'm not sure what to
expect in the next few months.

Qwirk Columbus is officially open

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note that Qwirk Columbus coworking is officially open as
of today, March 2! Check us out at http://www.qwirkcolumbus.com. We're
holding a "Jelly Spread" week, and anyone can drop if for free and
test drive Qwirk from noon to 4. We're also having a Qwirktail Hour
Friday from 4-7pm. The cool news, in the spirit of collaboration, is
that we've partnered with our new friends at G. Michael's downstairs.
Just come up to Qwirk, we'll give you a Free Day Pass, and then you
can show that pass downstairs to get $5 signature martinis and
discounted apps!

Re: What's your Twitter name?

 <at> socialtopher - I'm interested in starting a Jelly! in Cedar Hill,
about 15 minutes south of Dallas, and also know the guys at
 <at> Cohabitat.

Re: Coworking in Recession

Molly,

Just because my marketing mind wants to know, what do you attribute
the surge in January and September to? Are there specific events that
lend to the surge twice a year? My initial guess would be school
related, but I can't imagine that students are your core clientèle.
Any thoughts?

D.
