Leased Spaces
Watkins isn’t just a building — it’s a vibrant fusion of character, functionality and a prime location, brought to life by tenants who are as creative and dynamic as the space itself.
"The great thing is this place is really centrally located. We’re right on the corner of Franklin and Lyndale, so if you’re coming from the suburbs or more rural communities, you can just pop right off the freeway. There’s a bus lane and some bike lanes."
— Nicki Hangsleben, Executive Director, QUEERSPACE.
