Agency Type: Mixed--by design/plan
(Please note: This site is not incorporated as a nonprofit but rather as a for-profit. It is included herein as an example of a for-profit with a strong social mission, and to illustrate the auspice continuum of such co-locations serving nonprofits.)
401 Richmond is a historic warehouse in downtown Toronto and home to 138 cultural producers and microenterprises. Originally site of the Macdonald Manufacturing Company, the first and finest lithographers on tinware in Canada, the building was constructed in five stages from 1899 through 1923.
Aware of the need for affordable workspace in the city's downtown core, the architect/owners who purchased the property in 1994 took an aged 200,000 square foot building with 40% occupancy, and rather than tarting it up or tearing it down, transformed it into a fully-leased thriving cultural and commercial centre within 18 months. Today's eclectic tenant base includes esteemed scientist Dr. Fraser Mustard; Generation X experts D ~Code; Web Networks, specialists in online services to nonprofit organizations around the globe; and acclaimed visual artists John Scott and Jeannie Thib. 401 Richmond is also home to several art galleries, fashion designers, film makers, jewelers, architects, animators, healers, communications specialists, graphic artists, milliners, charitable organizations, and even a Spanish dance school. The building is topped by a 6,500-square-foot roof garden. [Text adapted from website]

Al Sigl Center
1000 Elmwood Ave, Suite 300Rochester, NY 14620
USA
Agency Type: Human Services--General or Mixed
Established 1968
Al Sigl Center is a unique resource organization committed to meeting the needs of our eight partner agencies by providing affordable, state-of-the-art facilities, developing shared business services, and generating community awareness and philanthropic support. Through this collaborative approach, we help our agencies achieve their goals and foster the goals of children and adults with disabilities.
In the 1960s, parents, volunteers, and several social service agencies dreamed of a unique way for rehabilitation agencies to share space while maintaining distinct missions and programs. They envisioned a building with classrooms, therapy suites, and work areas adapted for each agency, as well as a therapeutic swimming pool and gymnasium open to all. With the help of a caring, daring community, these innovators--people committed to the best for their family members--built their dream, Al Sigl Center. Expansion has been dramatic--from 3,400 people served in 1968 to over 67,000 people today. The need for increased space has often been sudden, and the task of finding it challenging. Al Sigl Center has always responded. Underlying each building venture has been our strong commitment to creating environments that encourage abilities and growth toward independence.
