For artists & makers
Own a share when you want roots. Rent when you want easy. Both set you free from rooms that cannot take real work.
A group of makers forms one company that buys a whole building. You own a share tied to the square feet you use. After the note is paid, you are not renting forever — you hold real ownership through the company.
Best if: you want roots and a path off the landlord treadmill.
Pay monthly for access to creative space. Flexible. Try a city. Bring a project. Leave when you want. Think gym-membership energy — industrial room instead of treadmills.
Best if: you want space now without buying in. Renting is fully respected here.
| Topic | Own a share | Rent / membership |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | Down payment + monthly share of the building note, tax, and insurance | Monthly access fee |
| What you get | Exclusive use of your studio map + ownership percent in the company | Right to use space under house rules |
| Who holds the deed | The maker company (one deed, one note) | Eternal Saturday or a building landlord |
| Freedom style | Roots — stop pure rent after the note | Light — move cities, try projects, low lock-in |
| Finish level | Raw delivery on purpose; members fund light walls if they want them | Raw OK — you can add simple walls later where rules allow |
Some people start on rent and later join an ownership round in the same building. That bridge is on the roadmap — simple first, legal paperwork done properly before anyone wires large money.
We open cities where makers show up on the waitlist. Early buildings favor honest industrial shells and places people can actually afford — not only coastal trophy zip codes.
Right now we list two owned projects under development: 3101 N 12th in Abilene and 144 W Broadway in Tulia.
