There are three clear opportunities for growth.

1) Increasing office occupancy with 8 empty offices. The market rate for these offices are $11,100 a month and $133,200 on an annual basis. Increasing the occupancy of these offices is nearly pure profit.

2) Better utilize the very large first floor video / podcasting studio on the main floor. The studio only generated $2,300 in April. As an office it would likely generate $3,000 to $5,000 in additional revenue. The other option for the studio is to focus on marketing the studio and developing
partnerships that make the studio used more often. If utilized as a video studio revenue would likely by $15,000 to $20,000 a month.

3) Build out additional small offices in under utilized common space. It already has landlord approval, the offices will serve a lower price point to build out the customer funnel, and generate an estimated $6,000 more a month, or $72,000 a year.

The owners are motivated to sell after being in the business for over a decade. They have put it on strong financial and operational footing after building it back up from COVID and are ready to hand it over to a new generation of ownership.
