Akin River has many new dedicated studio spaces available to rent immediately! These workspaces are bright, clean, and freshly renovated and are suitable for artists, creatives and entrepreneurs looking for quiet workspace in a growing artist community. Located at 7 Labatt Avenue, near Dundas Street East and River St, the studios are situated on the third floor of the building with stairs access only (no elevator); Akin regrets this barrier to access.
Akin River sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, the Métis, and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
Dedicated studio spaces range in size from 30 square feet - 250 square feet. Rent ranges from $185/month - $800/month and includes 24/7 access to the space, WiFi, insurance, and access to kitchen, bathrooms, shared workspace, shared storage, and a rooftop patio. Rent is month-to-month and there is a two month minimum when joining. Studios are unfurnished.
This location also has a large shared area for those do who do not require their own dedicated space.
