Recently I had the chance to tour the new Downtown Windsor Business Accelerator, located at 720 Ouellette Avenue (corner of Ouellette & Tuscarora).  

Here I am working from one of the computers
in a two person office in the new facility.

Designed to help accelerate the growth of start-up and emerging businesses and provide mentoring and training programs for entrepreneurs, the Downtown Windsor Business Accelerator opened its doors in early June. 

The project was developed by the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) and supported by a $678,000 Community Adjustment Fund Grant, courtesy of the Federal Government, for equipment and leasehold improvements. The building’s exterior has been re-vamped to include a fully glassed front wall which offers enhanced lighting and greater energy efficiencies while lending to the ambiance of the new facility. It truly is magnificent and a great place to work!

What’s happening inside the facility is even more exciting. Within 7,000 square feet, the ultra-modern facility incorporates 23 open concept offices; 14 spacious 1-2 person offices; three group-meeting rooms; three living rooms; a library; a kitchen; and a photocopy room. Tenants are offered fully furnished workspaces, including desk/chair, file cabinet, phone, free wireless internet, computer, mailbox, and shared receptionist. Coupled with the collaborative networking environment, the Business Accelerator is an excellent place to grow a business.
