After an intense process of searching for alternative models for the L200 management, we are very happy to announce that many people and organizations have shown interest to participate.
The new sustainability model is under construction, and will aim to keep the current spirit, but divide the space into self-sustaining "clusters".
The goal is to better share the management effort and allow more focus on the identity of each cluster. The exact naming to be used for these clusters will be decided at the GV).
The clusters will be responsible to cover their fair share of the rent, and they will act more or less independently regarding reservations, cleaning, communication, etc., reducing the centralized management of the space to the minimum.
Based on the current expressions of interest, there are five to six L200 clusters being formed: Education, Sustainability, Urban living, Pop-up, Art, and Co-working.
Because it is rather complicated to define the optimal aggregation and the corresponding rules between the clusters, the transition period will be extended to include the full 2025 year.
Then there are two important milestones coming in the next months:
-
12 December 2024, the GV 2024, when the current transition plan will be approved (date to be confirmed in late October).
- February 2025, combined with GV 2025: The groups of spaceholders in each cluster will be formed, and the “spaceholder handshake” will take place (meaning that all spaceholders agree on the allocation of slots and pay the yearly fee that covers the rent for 2025, until February 2026).
If the process is successful, the clusters will be eventually stabilized and the new model will help L200 to flourish for many more years.
In the meantime, there are important updates in the current L200 pricing model: The solidarity price (see pricelist) will be offered ONLY to spaceholders (minimum fee is 600 CHF / year) and the welcome gifts for new members are postponed until further notice.
If you are interested to become an L200 spaceholder now that spaceholders will have much more agency and visibility please contact us at info@langstrasse200.ch
