SPARK East incubator opens in Ypsilanti with 4 tenants

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 | Source: Concentrate

New economy entrepreneurs have officially landed in downtown Ypsilanti now that four start-ups have set up shop in Ann Arbor SPARK's newly opened East incubator.

The four lucky companies include LaVision, SENSI Change, Brainstorm Creative and Smart Dining. They are taking up part of the new incubator's 8,000 square feet on the ground floor of the Mack & Mack building on Michigan Avenue next door to Bombadill's Cafe.

The Maurer family bought and renovated the blighted 19th Century building into one of downtown's most valuable addresses last year. Ann Arbor SPARK will occupy the ground floor while about a dozen lofts will be built on the second and third floors.

The incubator offers two conference rooms, utilities, high-speed Internet, copiers and convenient parking for its tenants. It also provides expert business support from Ann Arbor SPARK and provides numerous opportunities to network with other new economy entrepreneurs.
