jim_pAfter all that trouble, it looks like we're not getting the South Boston space after all. I thought we were past the jinx point when I posted yesterday's entry, but when it comes to Boston real estate anything can happen...
Today I talked to the landlord... it turns out that the portion of the building with the space that we viewed has been scheduled for demolition when they start construction on the new building next door. We're not taking a space only to be booted out of it inside of a year... that's what Tam is trying to get away from in Fort Point.
The landlord was effusive in his praise of us, said that we're exactly the kind of folks that he'd love to have and that he'd try to find other space for us, but we're not hopeful. He mentioned shell games involving existing space in the building (another unit is open, but another tenant in the building is interested, yadda yadda...).
The space we looked at would have been perfect because it was on the first floor and actually had its own private entrance... perfect for salons and gallery openings. I doubt he'd have anything else like that...
Keeping my fingers crossed, but also back to combing Craigslist.
If anyone gets a line on live/work or studio space in the Boston area, please let me know!
