IRONDALE, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) -- Mayor James D. Stewart, Jr. and the Irondale Chamber of Commerce welcomed MicroFlex to the city on Tuesday during the grand opening of its new complex in Irondale.
The new hybrid facility consists of four buildings housing 38 customizable, multi-function units that can be used as offices, storage spaces, showrooms, gyms, or even fulfillment hubs for e-commerce businesses.
Each unit offers 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of space for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals seeking a personal hobby space, and over 80% of the units have already been rented.
MicroFlex is a new venture led by Andy Sink and John Thomas, the founders of Birmingham-based OWN Alabama.
“What the market wants and needs has changed,” Sink said last year.
“Business is so much more fluid than it used to be. We’re finding all types of businesses are looking for flexible arrangements and space they can affordably and quickly adapt to their individual needs.”
The Irondale campus is MicroFlex’s first ground-up project, and the company is also developing spaces in Auburn/Opelika, Birmingham, and Huntsville.
