With the partners no longer using the space, 547 NW 28th Street becomes a standing carrying cost instead of a shared asset. The building is already earning its keep through the family office professional services run out of it every day — this plan layers a purpose-built startup membership and several smaller streams on top, tracked against a single target: offset the $20K/month.
Before layering in anything new, it's worth saying plainly what the space is already producing — family office professional services delivered on-site, day to day, by the same divisions this plan puts to work on the new streams below.
Three phases — quick-start revenue, structural partnerships, and an anchor tenant — with Advisors, Law Group, Accounting, Realty, and Technologies moving in parallel from the same building that already runs every other Emanay mandate.
The flagship isn't generic desk rental — it's a membership that bundles space with the thing a startup actually can't buy off the shelf: standing access to the firm's people and network. Everything else in the building fills in around it.
Any WeWork gives a startup a desk. This gives them a desk plus a standing seat at the table with the firm's own divisions — which is the part a generic coworking lease can't replicate.
No new hires, no outside property manager — the same divisions that run every other Emanay mandate execute this one too.
With the partners gone, the building either sits as dead cost on the books or becomes six small, trackable revenue lines run by teams already in the building.
These figures assume [[X]] bookable desks/offices and [[Y]] Studio Members at steady state — placeholders until Realty and Advisors confirm actual capacity in the Phase I space audit. Family office services already run through normal client billing and aren't counted below; the model is built to hit the $20K/month offset from the five new streams combined.
From the space audit through anchor placement, the same team already running the incubator runs this plan.
With the space no longer needed by the partners, Nick is running the plan to turn 547 NW 28th Street from a $20K/month carrying cost into a set of tracked, recurring revenue lines — using the same divisions and governance model that already run the incubator's founder agreements.
Every use agreement, license, and sublease behind the six revenue streams passes through his oversight before it goes live, keeping the building's exposure — and its upside — clean.
Alex is aligned with Nick on the plan's rollout and sign-off, coordinating Realty, Accounting, and Technologies' involvement alongside every other active mandate running out of the building.
