Low cost and affordable, this could be the perfect opportunity to take your business, practice or organization to the next level.
Ideally - we are looking for 2 other people to share this large private room with to make it affordable for all. 

We are offering 122 sq. ft. office space for $300 or 244 sq. ft. office for $600. Lease starts December 2013, ie. now and revisited in 6 months. Offer is affordable and starts in December 2013.


Located at 2420 NE Sandy Blvd in Portland, Hatch is a newly renovated building with over 13,000 square feet of co-working space, offering private offices, cubicles, conference rooms, a café and retail shop for its members. With nearly 30,000 cars that drive down Sandy Blvd each day, the building is located in a central location in a thriving neighborhood with cafés, restaurant and other like-minded businesses.

Shared Retail Opportunity 

We are also co-managing the Hatch retail space as well, and are looking for vendors who offer eco-friendly, socially-minded products to share this space with. Window front facing Sandy Blvd, the retail space is a key feature of the Hatch building. We are inviting both local artists and ethical businesses that work locally and internationally to share this retail space with Awaz Handcrafts. With low rent and high visibility, this space could be the perfect platform to share your products with an appreciative customer base and save money. 
You can use lots of space or less and pay from $100 - $500 a month. We want to create an eye catching mix of product and open to what you offer.

If you're interested in being a part of our community, want to share office space with Awaz Handcrafts, or collaborate on the Hatch retail space, let's talk.
