All ours. Just wait and see all the great things we’ll do with it.</p> <p><strong>The Location</strong></p> <p>Thanks to a <a href="http://nwc2.tumblr.com/post/541397214/the-nwc-2-0-space-scavenger-hunt">Scavenger Hunt</a> that had members of our community looking for viable spots throughout the city, we discovered a spot that was everything we needed it to be.</p> <p>Just south of Canal Street and a few blocks from every major subway line, 412 Broadway’s second floor is 4,700 square feet of raw space. Wood floors and high ceilings cover the whole space, with bay windows overlooking Broadway below.</p> <p>Our landlord, Lucy Jarvis, is a highly successful former TV producer. We talked to her about our concept and she hooked into it immediately, doing everything she could to make a deal possible for us.</p> <p><strong>Construction</strong></p> <p>Raw space means we’ve got a lot of work to do. Our good friend and NWC member <a href="http://twitter.com/cmckella">Campbell McKellar</a> introduced us to Travis Wood, a contractor who’s been tremendously helpful and transparent in helping us determine all of our construction costs.</p> <p>It’s a big job. We have to clean up the floors, tear down walls, rebuild bathrooms, install a kitchen, build rooms, install lighting, improve the electrical and data infrastructure, and more.</p> <p>That stuff adds up.</p> <p><strong>Money</strong></p> <p>To make all this happen, New Work City is pulling out all the stops. It starts with you— to help us finance the new space, you can <strong><a href="http://tumblr.com/xoqcjsnul">prepay your membership</a></strong> for the new space. You’ll lock in the current membership rate (they’re going up in the new space) and you’ll get some other goodies as well.</p> <p>The new space will afford us the ability to develop all sorts of new programs, so we’re also starting to talk to people at like-minded organizations who’d be interested in partnering with us. If you’d like to talk, email us (<a href="mailto:partnership@nwcny.com">partnership@nwcny.com</a>) or call us at (888) 823-3494.</p> <p><strong>Membership</strong></p> <p>We’re going to need a lot more members to fill up our big beautiful new space. If you’re interested in membership in the new space, <a href="http://bit.ly/nwc2interest">fill out this form</a>! </p> <p>We’re still open for business in our space on 394 Broadway, which we’re sharing with our good friends at Green Spaces. Come visit!</p> <p><strong>Better Everything</strong></p> <p>Having the freedom to design the space from the ground up means that everything gets to be done <em>our way</em>. That means:</p> <ul> <li>A brilliantly designed space with a look and feel that reinforces our message </li> <li>Room for more independent workers who will help us redefine the word work!</li> <li>Brick walls. Wood floors. High ceilings. Ample light. OH MY!</li> <li>Wicked, stupid fast, ridiculously solid internet</li> <li>Beanbags! Comfy chairs! Colors, textures and designs that inspire creativity </li> <li>Private space for important calls and meetings </li> <li>Dedicated event space that allow for all-day, uninterrupted learning and growing</li> <li>A badass espesso machine!</li> <li>All the things you’ve come to expect already: Printing, 24x7 access, A/C, Refrigerator, Bike storage, Discounts from our friends, monthly terms, and more</li> </ul> <p><strong>A Community Center</strong></p> <p>The new space will allow us to host bigger and more Meetups, workshops, talks, parties, and more. Beyond that, we’ll be freed up to develop entire new programs that never could have happened anywhere else. </p> <p><strong>A Big Deal</strong></p> <p>By existing, New Work City will facilitate the generation of more new businesses. New ideas. New connections. New collaborations. New friends. </p> <p>We’re talking about far more than just a place to work. We’re talking about a place where people seeking a better, more independent life can find it.</p> <p><strong>But we’re not just talking about it anymore.<br/> We’re doing it. Together. Now. </strong></p> <h2> <strong><a href="http://nwcny.com">The future is here.</a></strong><a href="http://nwcny.com"><br/></a><strong><a href="http://nwcny.com">And it’s awesome.</a></strong> </h2> </blockquote>http://www.iwasbombed.com/post/762022826http://www.iwasbombed.com/post/762022826Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:25:38 -0400<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4xuouRdOR1qz78vio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>My newest contribution to Atlantic, TrapMuzik.com.
