Unit B is a newly repurposed space in the basement of the McKenney building on the corner of 104 St. and 102 Ave., on the edge of the warehouse district in downtown Edmonton. Like many of the early 20th century brick warehouses and lofts in the area, it’s sturdy looking 3 level brick building with layers of stories buried inside.
Unit B is a shared workspace conceived of and occupied by a group of entrepreneurs in different parts of the creative arts business. We’re home to artists, writers and graphic designers, PR and marketing pros, a political consultant, and several internet wizards specializing in web architecture, web development and organic search engine optimization.
Each member of the B team had a hand in renovating and fixing up the place, and now we’re proud to say that it looks like the beautiful creative studio that we envisioned. We all the rent our individual offices, and each pitch in on the upkeep of the shared common areas.
The space had been vacant for many years before we took it over several months ago. The whole thing is still very new, a little blurry, and a lot of fun.
Here are some shots from the opening reception we hosted in early December, which we hope is just the first of many. There are potentially some more offices to open up in Unit B, so please be in touch if this sounds like the way you want to work. You’d probably like it, it’s fun.
