Estimate of Current Cost for a Space

  • Details coming from Marc:

Precise Constraints

Check this list for up-to-date constraints

Minimum Requirements

Our absolute minimum for a space:

  • BART is close by
  • Disability / wheelchair access
  • Vehicle parking (motor and human-powered) is possible.
  • Bathroom
  • Sink (at least one, but preferably outside of bathroom)
  • Late access (preferably 24 hour)
  • Ability to make some noise (at least event noise)
  • Internet
  • Electricity
  • Security and privacy
    • e.g. not a hallway or shared access with other tenants we don't know.
  • Landlord must either support the idea or be agnostic to it--not against.

Flexible Agilities

Things we are flexible about--that put us at an advantage to landlords:

  • Can deal with no heat/air (Is this an agility? Actually, heat is pretty important, we should be able to be comfortable and invite guests who can be reasonably comfortable at our events).
  • Carpet or flooring not important
  • Can live without amenities or luxuries.
  • Windows are nice, but open to non-windowed spaces.
  • Little to no build-out necessary for initial space.
  • Can move in very soon.

Other Requirements

Things we should keep in mind beyond the bare minimum:

  • Min size: ___ Max size: ___
  • Min price: ___ Max price: ___

Bonus

Amenities and other bonuses--a "wish list" if you will:

  • Roof access
  • Vehicle parking (motor and human-powered) is readily available and secure or private.
  • BART is extremely close.
  • Landlord loves us.
  • Combined residential zoning / accommodation.

Options/Sources

  • Occupy Oakland list of open spaces
  • Craigslist
  • Possible space with TechLiminal on 14th and Harrison
    • Anca has suggested we could pay to use their space, store some of our stuff. Note: Techliminal is still perfectly happy to host our meetup for free.
  • The Holdout (related to Occupy Oakland) opportunity for "Collectives".
    • 2313 San Pablo Big green building

Listings Spreadsheet

Location Name Link Price Meet Min Reqs? Notes
14th and Harrison, Oakland, CA Techliminal http://techliminal.com/ ? Mostly, need to inquire about security/privacy Offer from Anca to store stuff, or figure out some shared working space/time/price.
1305 Franklin St, Oakland, Ca (Downtown, close to 12th st BART) http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/2762220826.html $400/mo. for Advertised to have all utilities covered by rent, 24 hr access, and use of common conference room. To me (matt) this is an ideal location. The min requirements need to be verified of course.
1924 Franklin St, Oakland, CA (Downtown, close to 19th st BART) (art deco building) http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/2745381730.html 2 room corner suite $550/mo. Close to BART, not much else explained in post, must inquire. Good area, price might be good depending on how much space it actually is.
1825 San Pablo Ave, Oakland, CA (Downtown, close to 19th st BART) East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation's new future office map Talk to EBALDC ? (cost by square foot, plans still in works for 1st floor) Definitely, fits very well toward Sudo Space goals (but will not be open for some time). 2nd floor will be EBALDC's new office, bottom floor is open, looking for tenants, plans, divisions, etc. Former shelter, full kitchen, showers / bathrooms, ample plumbing. Zoned for commercial use, so residential is fine, etc. Opportunities to work with EBALDC on build-out plans. Opening likely in 1-2 years.
2700 International blvd Oakland ca US Office (medical) space http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/2788965583.html "Six suites available from 450 sq feet to a total of about 5000 sq ft, each suite has separate bathroom and kitenettes/lab?" "Triple NNN expenses about .35 cents a sq ft." Somewhat close to FruitvaleBART, otherwise likely to fit other needs, but may require some build-out Not sure if there is the option for non Triple-N.
