Looking to rent a shed/garage/warehouse in or near Raleigh - Non-Viper Related

[mendler23]

Hey everyone, I didn't step down from president just from shear exhaustion - I am working on a new business that we plan to startup over the next year. DON'T WORRY, we don't need investors! Although, there will be a Kickstarter.com campaign eventually :p. I can't divulge details at this time, but I figure I could take a shot in the dark and see if anyone in the club had recommendations for a location of our minimal startup in the Raleigh area. The business would be considered light-industrial (I think) and we are looking for somewhere to lease. Our requirements are somewhere near 1000sqft, has a cement floor, 4 walls, electric and plumbing available (we can run more lines if needed), and a door. We are very flexible and the cheaper, the better.

We'll require the space for a year or so to get initial product created, then we are going to test the market. If we have some success, then we can look at expanding to a larger location.

Any suggestions on where to begin our search would be helpful! Thanks

I know a contractor who has a building in apex that sounds like it would fit the bill. PM me your contact info if interested

Ask Kenny Hawkins if he has anything - sometimes he has something budget. 919-851-0242 office and tell him I sent you. If he does not - sometimes he knows folks that are local and looking to rent.

Mayhem just moved to a new location. You could check on their old location. If you find something bigger I might be interested in going in with you.
