NedSpace

Nedspace is an office co-op where small businesses, start-ups and freelancers can share a large commercial space while only renting what they need. 
A wide range of renting options makes Nedspace uniquely suited for contractors and businesses on a small budget. By renting a single desk, members also have access to password protected wi-fi, bathrooms, and conference rooms. Also hosting privileges allow them to have meetings and events. 
Fees depend on what physical space is used. The lowest being the ability to get entrance and work on any of the open desks. Start-ups and/or small companies with larger budgets can rent large offices. They range depending on size and windows.

Originally it used the street entrance between Backspace coffee shop and Theo's sandwich shop. Since January 2011, a large part was leased to the start-up Monsoon, which shrunk it's available space substantially. It now uses the same entrance as eROI, on Couch. 
 
Based on seeing the construction that was happening in preparation of Monsoon's arrival, I can deduce that the large common area is gone. Leaving only the part of the floor located directly above Compound.
Features (based on December construction)
* 1 Conference Room
* Open area with 16 desks (some permanently occupied)
* Access to bathrooms shared by Monsoon (requires Key)

==NedSpace Downtown Location==
920 SW Third (Between Taylor & Salmon) Portland, OR 97204. This location is the original Nedspace location. It consists of two floors, the first which is the ground floor and a lower basement floor. The previous owner was an architectural firm which had designed the space so that the upper floor consisted of an outer ring of offices connected by a terrace. The upper floor terrace looks down on the lower floor common area. The lower floor consists of cubicles with shelfs on wall edges, while an combination of open desks are located in the center. 
Some Features include:

The Downtown space differs from the Old Town space in that it is sectioned off more by walls, and has a darker cozy feeling.
