Jay is incredibly condescending and rude. I was late for my appointment which was my bad. My…read moreprecious appointment was too close to this one and there was unexpected traffic. He was incredibly rude on the phone telling me to go west. I told him I'm not from here so sadly don't know which direction that was and he condescendingly said "the direction the sun sets in." the property was in the middle of a bunch of skyscrapers, I have no idea which direction that is in the middle of the day when I'm in the area for the first time. he then proceeded to grill me on why I need a two bedroom for one person. insisting I planned to sublet which I do not. when I told him I wanted a room for my guests who visit me he rolled his eyes as if I was lying. it's truly none of his business why I'd want another space, but I was incredibly polite and accommodating to even tell him that. I told him I'm moving from a 4 bedroom house, but still he continued to rudely imply that I was subletting. bro. I'm not lying to you. also it's none of your business if I want a bigger space. I ended up leaving before seeing the unit. the first thing he said to me upon arrival was "I have other business transactions to do today so I don't have time" since I was late, I apologized for the umpteenth time. anyhow I ended up leaving. he's reallllly mean and condescending and full of himself. not a way to work with customers. he looked at me as if I was beneath him from the beginning. this man knows nothing about me. maybe hes racist as he gave me racist vibes. or hates women. or just a complete stuck up jerk. sad. moving on! don't rent from this company if you want to be treated with respect.

At the HiVE you're going to run into a lot of people working for startups, grassroots initiatives…read moreand nonprofit organizations. Basically, people who care. You'll find everything you'd expect from a coworking space here: hot desks, permanent desks, wifi and wired internet, meeting rooms, lockers, mailboxes, bike storage and the use of a business address. They have a very active email list to help you keep track of what is going on. There are lunch 'n learns throughout the year. I wish I was at the HiVE more often so I could take part in all of that learning. My favorite event at the HiVE is the salad club. Everyone brings ingredients and the HiVE supplies lettuce and salad dressings. Salad club is a nice way to have lunch and meet some coworkers. General Social Events like this aren't too frequent at the HiVE, but when they happen - don't miss 'em! Some things to note if you are looking for a coworking space: - The HiVE is busy during weekdays. Keep this in mind - if you're annoyed by a little ambient noise or a conversation nearby this may not be the right space for you. - This is a community led place so sometimes that means rolling up your sleeves and putting those dishes in the dishwasher or making coffee for all. Yes they have a front desk Bee who keeps an eye on the kitchen and greets people, but if there is something that bothers you then you should probably volunteer to help solve it. - I've spotted a mouse once or twice and there are occasional break-ins during the night. Just keepin' it real. Lock up your stuff, put away your food y'all! - The HiVE is located on the 2nd floor and as far as I can tell there is no elevator, therefore it is not handicap accessible. - The directors are amazing here, they care, they respond, they come up with good solutions and they do an excellent job of mitigating crises. Happy coworking!

I am so down with HiVE. This non-profit co-working space is the coolest idea since sliced bread…read more It's a fancy modern office environment with rad socially conscious politics. Individuals and small businesses can rent space here that comes with a downtown Vancouver mailing address and boardroom access for meetings without renting a full office, which is out of the price range of most creative individuals. HiVE is great for short-term projects that require the use of meeting and office space, or for part-time contract work that requires a desk. Also, being surrounded by inspiring and hard-working dedicated professionals, many of them in the creative industries, is great for the work ethic - as is paying for the space you use. The kitchen here is off the hook, too. I see it and just want to make big vegan meals for 40+ in it. Oh lawdy. Other bonuses: indoor bike storage, drop-in hourly desk rentals, great views, private telephone rooms, two dishwashers. If you're a creative professional, contract worker, or are working on a big project and can't focus at home, give HiVE a chance! I was frankly amazed at how much work I got done during the time I spent there. I originally planned on just renting hourly but found it so beneficial for my work ethic that I bought a membership.

Office renters BEWARE! I work for a large reputable company, that was renting office space…read moretemporarily at Business Centre Solutions in Burnaby. We were great tenants, even though we paid WAY TOO MUCH for the space. When we informed management in advance of our departure, we were instantly treated with disrespect and told that we were obligated to pay two months of rent after leaving (which was not disclosed in our contract). After much rude behavior, and avoidance from management they knew they had no leg to stand on and agreed to fair terms. Once we left, they would not return our damage deposit, and continued to charge us for months that we were not there. When I called to speak with management she was rude, crude and extremely unprofessional. She hung up on me when I told her that her business practices were dishonest! DO NOT RENT HERE! I have never met a tenant that wasn't ripped off and dissatisfied with the money hungry and dishonest service!

This is a very impressive space both inside and out. Great views of the ocean, the mountains, the Vancouver skyline and across the Lower Mainland to Mt Baker. The outside space is a very large patio with plenty of seating, is partially covered and has a large area set up for bar and food service. Very happy to have had the opportunity to see this space and sure it will be very popular with corporate and community events as we move into the warmer months.

I don't know much about Nelson Square Building, located on Nelson and Howe (in fact, I didn't even…read moreknow that the building had a name), but it appears to be some sort of office building, and it has a medical clinic in it--that's all I know. The reason I am writing a review about it is, during the month of May, there was a free art exhibit in the lobby. The name of the exhibit, "Tian Tian Xiang Shang", a Chinese proverb meaning "make progress everyday," featured statues of Tian Tian, a character from a comic created by artist Danny Yung (see here for more info: https://curiousandcreative.com/). There were statues of different sizes decorated by various artists and children from local schools. As my friend and I were looking at the exhibit, the curator came up and gave us information on the exhibit, which was really helpful, and she said that there will be future art exhibits in the lobby of the building. So keep your eye out for free art exhibits in the Nelson Square Building!

Recently when my work laptop stopped working, I was a bit worried about the logistics of getting it…read morerepaired because, as far as I knew, my company didn't have a branch in British Columbia. So, imagine my surprise when I was asked to visit the local office at the WeWork building in nearby Station Square, Burnaby! Say what? WeWork (yep, the same company that's been in news for mostly the wrong reasons for quite some time) provides workspace and co-working solutions that are used by companies, big and small. I'd read a lot about their offerings, but had never been to any WeWork office till I entered the premises of the one in Burnaby. So, I was quite amazed at how neat the entire setup was. Located higher up in the same building that houses famous restaurants like Cactus Club Cafe and Earls Kitchen + Bar, WeWork Office Space & Coworking is right next to Metropolis at Metrotown. Talk about prime real estate! There are ample parking spots in the structure just a few steps away from the office entrances, so that's one big monkey off your back if you're driving to work here! The reception area is pretty, colorful and spacious, and the staff that greeted me on arrival were cheerful and friendly. The place has quite a few office spaces, conference rooms, phone booths, a well-stocked kitchen, a wellness room, free coffee and what not. There are ample touch-free sanitizer dispensers, and it is apparent that lots of effort goes in for keeping the entire space spic and span. Happy that I got to check out this cool place on the pretext of getting my laptop fixed. The only downside for me is possibly having to lose the option of working from home when the pandemic situation gets better because there's an office location in the city. Sighs. But, hey, at least the commute won't be that bad because the place is right next door, plus (and that's a big plus!) there's free parking! Hoping I won't have to go back there anytime soon though
