Probably not a good idea to take seriously until we come close to move-out date. However, it is a good way to get a feel on what the rental market is like and what we can realistically expect.

What do you think the relation between members and available space is? I estimate that we will experience greater than linear growth for a linear increase in space.
What do you think the relation between members and available space is? I estimate that we will experience greater than linear growth for a linear increase in space.
To clarify, I feel that the difference in member capacity between a space that is 3000 sq. ft. and one that is 4500 sq. ft. is more than 50% of the first space.

report for John's visit on 12/18/09
* contact info: Natalie Stubbs [email protected] 773 552 2355
* size: Various (saw one 3000 square foot space, another 5000 square foot space, in an 80,000 square foot building)
* price: $1.25-1.75/sq ft as of 12/18/09
* other information:
** loft spaces
** 3000 foot space finished on 4th floor, 5000 square foot on 5th not
** $1.25 for 5th floor space without natural light, $1.75 with
** nice view of city
** space for large rooftop deck--not built as of this visit
** small kitchen/bath on 4th floor
** large elevator
** They want to sell quickly. They are on a shorter timeline than us. Would not be a surprise if they had difficulty filling the building. Time is on our side with this candidate. Bears watching.

:::Short or long-term lease
:::All utilities included (HVAC, A/C, Electric, Water Usage)
:::Abundant on-site parking
