Analysis[edit]

For each space,

  • What is the up-front cost?
  • What is the recurring cost?
  • What is the total of startup cost + three months' operating expenses?
  • What is the total cost for the first year?
  • What is the total cost for the 3 year lease?
  • How many members is that again?

2169 Mission[edit]

3+3 IG net of all utilities, $3600/mo, no tenant allowance or owner build-out.

Startup Expenses[edit]

  • $10,800 F+L+D

410 Clementina[edit]

3+3 IG net of all utilities, we're guessing $4000 with some basic owner built improvements. (This rent $ number is not as firm as 2169 because we haven't negotiated to a final deal yet, it might go up or down as we negotiate.)
