Ann Arbor Office Space – Main Street, Ann Arbor

(I used to be tenant at the Brickyard, its a great place to work they now have more space available)

Brickyard 2.0 – Office Space

Wanted: Programmers, Developers, Internet Consultants, Marketers, Solopreneurs or a small company looking to rent a desk or two at 306 South Main – Brickyard 2.0.

The Deal: We have been at The Brickyard for two years now. We just signed on for another year and we have 3 open desks to rent. You get a nice desk for your personal use, your own locker, use of conference room, access to shared coffee, and internet all for $280 per month (1 year lease).

I can tell you from experience having an office on Main Street will do wonders for your productivity and ability to win new business. Not to mention you will be joined by other small business owners who enjoy working in the same space, and often collaborate on projects.

It’s important that you work more on your computer than the phone. If you travel to your client’s offices for meetings that works too. We have a conference room you can use, but the desk you will be renting is in an open space and is not conducive to frequent phone calls. We keep it like this to respect everyone’s need for a quiet workplace to get things done.

If you’re interested in the space please contact Derek Mehraban 734.272.4698
