Building Search Update 05 Jan 25

Thank you to all our supporting members! Your contributions have enabled us to continue the search and build a small fund to acquire a building.

We understand that updates haven’t been as regular as usual. This is because we’ve come very close to securing a building several times this past year and wanted to wait until we had definitive news to share. Now, we’re excited to announce a unique opportunity to lease a centrally located building at 1546 Linden Street

The building is a two-story, 5,000-square-foot space with an open office area on the upper floor and a warehouse with a garage on the lower floor. Proximity to other organizations in the community and a bus route nearby has us believing this would make a great home for Grand River Makerspace!

Please note, this is not a finalized deal—we’re still in the negotiation phase... but we are very excited about the opportunity!

We are currently raising funds to cover the initial monthly rent and operating expenses. Keep an eye out for an upcoming fundraising campaign.

How can you help?

Commit to a monthly Recurring Donation on our website https://grandrivermakerspace.org/

Let us know: Send a email letting us know you would support the Makerspace.

Spread the word: If you know someone who could use part of the building, we’re open to subleasing.

Studio spaces: We’re also considering renting out small studio spaces for individual projects.

Your support is crucial, and we’re excited about the possibilities this new space could bring. We will be sending more updates and exciting news soon. Thank you for being part of this journey!
