Another week, another update for you from aboard the USS Konnekted.
It turns out, opening a coworking space is a lot of work!
Luckily, we have a crew aboard and we’re navigating the choppy seas one wave at a time.
Here’s the latest…
1. Contractors on site
We’re starting to bring in contractors who are hard at work planning the first phase of build-out for their respective areas.
We have five building contractors working on our project currently, not including all the non-construction people working on the project.
It takes a village!
2. Virtual mail almost ready
We’ve been working with the local USPS to secure our physical mailing permissions and we’re now just days away from final approval.
If you’re looking for a professional mailing address that isn’t your home office to put on your website, agreements, and invoices, we’ll have some options for you on that soon.
We’ll be able to handle everything from individual pieces of mail to packages. And it won’t be a personal mail box (PMB)—we’ll give you an actual address with suite number.
3. Virtual receptionist service
Do you have people calling into your business but you’re unable to answer every call as they come in?
We’ve just about finalized our virtual receptionist service which will give you pay-by-the-minute receptionist to answer calls, direct them to the right person, and answer any general questions your callers may have.
Nothing makes you look like a pro more than a live receptionist.
4. Architectural plans hiccups
Remember when we said we sent our architectural plans to the city for approval? Turns out, there’s a little iceberg in our path.
But unlike the Titanic, we will be able to steer around it. The captain and crew are on the case.
5. Progress picture
It doesn’t look like much right now, but here’s how the space looks today with me standing in the middle for scale.
It’s a big space to fill, but that’s great because we know you have big plans!
And that’s all for this update!
We’re still on track to open for September 1st.
Offices are being sold on a first come basis, so be sure to book your hard hat tour so you can get first dibs on your favorite spot before they get booked!
Keep the lighthouse on,

P.S. Why do we keep using ship puns? Mostly because we are having fun and want to bring aboard with us. I’ll tell you the full story another time. :)
