The sharing economy has eliminated market inefficiencies while providing cost savings for consumers and tapping into the demand for increased access. The shorter-term sharing of homes, music and vehicles is bleeding into slightly longer-term sharing of offices, retail space and apartments—representing shifts in consumer habits and varying degrees of disruption.
Disruption caused by the coeverything movement has had varying impact across industries, finally making its way to the industrial sector. Third-party logistics providers (3PLs) have long provided shared services and expertise needed to assist companies with warehousing and distribution needs. New companies, such as FLEXE and STORD, have emerged over the past few years to provide different types of flexibility and cost savings for tenants in the ecommerce fulfillment, retail distribution, inventory and overflow space.
Now, companies like Saltbox in Atlanta are emerging, offering upscale office space not common among industrial buildings paired with small-scale, flexible warehouse facilities. Coeverything has furthered the evolution of mixed-use by providing flexible options for integrating complementary uses at a single site, delivering customizable operations for customers, occupiers and investors.
Launching in December 2019, the 27,000-square-foot facility offers month-to-month memberships, flexibility, and turnkey value propositions without being locked into a long-term lease. Located in one of Atlanta’s few remaining in-town industrial buildings in the desirable Chattahoochee Industrial area, Saltbox provides a range of options, from community memberships to private “warehouse suites,” including access to loading docks, freight equipment, on-demand labor, conference rooms, enterprise security, and even a photography studio – all with the added benefit of working among a community of peers with similar challenges.
“Saltbox is uniquely oriented around the needs of humans who run physical goods businesses,” says Tyler Scriven, Co-Founder and CEO of Saltbox. “It doesn’t feel good as an entrepreneur whose business is dependent upon warehouse space when you see your office peers at innovative co-working spaces and you’re stuck in a self-storage facility.”

Scriven says so far the companies that have joined Saltbox include small e-commerce operators, import/distribution businesses and a wide range of makers, but also larger companies that find the smaller, more flexible footprint of Saltbox attractive for their regional operations. Saltbox offers three core products – private offices, private warehouse suites, and community memberships. Any mix of the three can be used by a company. For most entrepreneurs this is ideal.
“If you’re a one-to five-person company, you don’t necessarily need dedicated office space, but you value having comfortable spaces to work, welcome guests, and hold meetings,” says Scriven.
Additionally, he highlights the opportunity for users of Saltbox to collaborate and form a community is something that doesn’t currently exist in the industrial sector.
“For companies that deal with physical goods, there are not many places to turn for guidance and support to talk about important topics related to their business like navigating customs and tariffs, selecting shipping partners, and sourcing raw materials – all of which is under-addressed in the mainstream technology start-up ecosystem.”
With a few weeks until launch, the company is already planning to expand both in Atlanta and to new markets within the next year. “We’re seeing strong demand to bring Saltbox to markets across the country and are working as quickly as we can to make our presence a reality,” says Scriven.
Allen Temple AME Church-Atlanta Offers WiFi Safe Space
“COVID-19 has changed how we all meet on Sunday morning but not how Allen Temple AME Church-Atlanta serves our community,” affirms the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Susan H. Buckson. Following CDC guidelines, Allen Temple opened on September 14, 2020, to support student learning with a simple combination of volunteers, internet access, and one six-foot table per student. We hosted students Monday-Friday from 8 AM-4 PM, providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
The reality is that many of our school-aged children and college students do not have the same ability to function freely in the digital age as many of the school districts across the country stopped in-person instruction and adopted virtual learning. Now, both teachers and students find themselves having to navigate multiple devices and roles at home, particularly for parents who either now work from home or who had to return to their place of employment. “[Allen Temple] created a village that I call my extended family,” says parent Ms. Brittany Ethridge. “I have been blessed to continue to provide for my family by going to work because I am comfortable knowing my kids are in a small group getting their school work completed. I am grateful to have found this ‘safe space’ for my kids.” Allen Temple stepped in to help parents and students return to a new normal in education with WiFi Safe Space.
We were not sure how the community would receive the program. For the first two days of operation, we did not have students but the word spread. WiFi Parent, Ms. Shawnika Anderson Clemmons, recalls that she sent her oldest daughter first. “My daughter had such an amazing time that she convinced her younger sister to attend. They both loved the program so much that they talked to their friends about it. Now, six of my neighbors’ children attend. She said that WiFi Safe Space had been “a literal Godsend for my family and those in my community.” On average, it hosts 10-12 students daily with a capacity of 20 students.
Allen Temple members Ms. Sallie Sanders and Mr. Julian K. Smith, Jr. spearheaded a partnership with Pico Interactive. This global tech company develops innovative virtual reality (VR) and enterprise solutions. Pico donated 20 VR headsets and $10,000 to support next-generation learning enrichment for students. Each child now has access to a wealth of interactive global travel, animation, and robotics challenges. The next steps include hosting VR design classes to develop afro-centered, Bible-based VR curriculum modules and to teach students how to create 3D programming.
Allen Temple also received a $20,000 grant from the United Way of Greater Atlanta and Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta from the Greater Atlanta COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund for general operating support to provide WiFi Safe Space for children to access virtual learning. Supporting partners also included the J.K. Smith, Sr. Foundation and the Allen Temple Lay Organization.

Smith, Sister Jackie Terrell, Sister Darnetta Simalton, Mr. Anwar Heard, Mr. Paul Harris, Mrs. Cynthia Cody, Mr. Raymond Cody, and Ms. Esteller Phillips. “We are not yet sure if local schools will open for the Spring Semester,” says Dr. Buckson, “but we do know that Allen Temple will be there to support students, teachers, and parents in our community.”
