What was once a specialty car dealership and auto repair shop is being converted into an innovative, contemporary coworking space in downtown Rapid City for small businesses, nonprofits and freelance creatives this spring. “The Garage – Rapid City” is a new building concept and work environment that is the first of it’s kind for Rapid City.
The coworking space is located in the Motor Service Building at 402 Saint Joseph Street in Rapid City. Built in 1929 by Edgar Morrisson, the building was recently placed on the Historical Registry, and underwent exterior restoration to the brickwork, neon signs and front awnings. Nearly a half million dollars is going into renovating the interior space for the new coworking concept.
The downtown development project is a collaboration between three local businesses: McCarthy Properties, MAC Construction and The Numad Group.
