The property will operate as a coworking facility in the city\u2019s Midtown Arts District, with completion scheduled for spring 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Located at 1512 Center St. N., the property is a former mattress factory that used to house Master Mattress Works. According to the Harris County assessor, the property was built in phases, in 1927 and 1976. REth!nk, a coworking community created for real estate professionals, acquired the nearly 42,000-square-foot industrial facility in July, public records show.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We see two striking opportunities. One is to push beyond the traditional coworking lease arbitrage model and create value by owning and renovating well-located but underutilized properties, and the other is to take a niche, industry approach to building our community in order to help accelerate the growth of our members&#8217; businesses,&#8221;<\/em> Ken Cope, founder &amp; president of REth!nk, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n<h2>Curating to professionals<\/h2>\n<p>Plans include converting the building into REth!nk\u2019s flagship location that will feature 50 open coworking spaces, 20 dedicated desks, 134 private offices and 40 parking spaces. In addition, the company intends to open a second location in Denver\u2019s RiNo Arts District, also in 2019. The spaces will curate to asset owners, investors, developers, architects, designers, engineers, general contractors, lawyers, bankers and brokers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/report-coworking-space-on-the-upswing\/\">growing trend toward open, coworking office spaces<\/a> in the workplace, especially among smaller companies that prefer to offer a more collaborative working environment, our structured loan will allow the borrower to begin an extensive renovation to convert the property into a highly sought-after space,\u201d<\/em> iBorrow CEO Brian Good explained. <em>\u201cAdditionally, by the time the construction is complete, the loan will be reduced to 53.57 percent of the property\u2019s projected value, providing a greater equity cushion over the life of the loan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of iBorrow<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lender iBorrow provided construction financing for the development of a 50-space coworking facility that will become REth!nk\u2019s flagship location once completed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":240,"featured_media":1004261990,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21825,1589,21742,21747],"tags":[36351,42461,41882],"class_list":["post-1004261987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-finance","category-houston","category-latest","category-office","tag-capital-improvement","tag-coworking","tag-ken-cope"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
