Company Overview

ActivSpace is a privately held company specializing in flexible, private workspace and studio units designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, artists, and craftspeople. Their facilities offer individually lockable units in a range of sizes, with all-inclusive pricing that covers utilities and building services. ActivSpace locations feature 24/7 access, on-site parking, transit connectivity, and a clean, well-maintained environment built to support hands-on work. With simple lease terms and no long-term commitments, ActivSpace provides an affordable alternative to traditional commercial space for creative professionals and growing businesses.

Property Overview

ActivSpace Fremont is the original ActivSpace location, opened in 1995–1996 as the company’s prototype for purpose-built commercial workspaces serving entrepreneurs, artists, and small businesses. Located at 4020 Leary Way NW in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, the property was developed in two phases — the first completed on time and on budget using private equity and was fully leased before phase two broke ground with the company’s first bank loan.

As a prototype location, Fremont offers many unique unit configurations not found at other ActivSpace buildings. Spaces specialize in the 100–400 SF range across four tiers. “The Spark” ($260–$315/month) provides entry-level private studios with a door and sliding window. “The Maker” ($340–$525/month) offers mid-size spaces with tall ceilings for creative and multi-discipline work. “The Launch” ($500–$690/month) delivers larger spaces for collaborative or full-scale projects. “The Garage” ($590–$935/month) features roll-up and/or man doors with concrete floors, designed for vehicle-accessible work including fabrication, distribution, staging, and storage.

All units include basic utilities, individual key access, sliding windows, and tall ceilings. Units are wired for landline and internet. Common areas include a stretch elevator, community boards, permitted parking, and bike racks. Leases are month-to-month with storage spaces, mailboxes, and add-on user options available.

Fremont is one of Seattle’s most vibrant and creative neighborhoods, known for its walkable retail corridors, restaurants, and proximity to the Burke-Gilman Trail and the Ship Canal. The location provides convenient access to downtown Seattle and surrounding neighborhoods.
