Creative Office Space Coming to President Street

creative-league-1208.JPG
The popularity of shared office space is on the rise, thanks in part to the latest round of layoffs: more folks need a spot to work, or maybe look for work, now that they don't have offices. Enter Brooklyn Creative League, a "workspace and a community of simpatico colleagues for freelancers, independent workers, and small-shop companies." The space, still being rehabbed (as evidenced by the photo), is at 540 President, between 3rd and 4th Avenues, and the theme is green: low-VOC paint, FSC-certified molding, reclaimed church pews for seating, local vendors, etc. Sounds like a good place to work, no? Estimated opening date: February 15th or so. GMAP

rob, its not for clients, its for the owners/workers to have a place to pray for more business.

hmmmm. I live on that block and still have no idea where this space is!!!!!!

Owner12 - I also used to live on that block. I think it is in one of the warehouse buildings that is adjacent to the fenced parking lot. Not the new one that opened up, but the builing that the hasidics used to operate out of (They had left before I moved and the space was vacant as far as I knew).

Or maybe it is the huge factory across the street - Could that possibly be it?
