Moving to a New Home!

Hey Friends,

Get ready for a fresh start!

Narrative Space is excited to announce that we're moving to a brand new location at 405 N Tioga St!

That's right – more space, a sweet little yard, and even more awesome vibes coming your way.

Here's the schedule:

Last day at 213 N Aurora St: Saturday, January 18th
Moving week: January 19th - 27th
Grand opening at 405 N Tioga St: Tuesday, January 28th

Why the move?

We've been incredibly fortunate to call 213 N Aurora St home for the past 10.5 years. Time flies! While it's been a fantastic location, we've outgrown our current space. Our team has been searching for a new home with more room to breathe for a while now. When a building two blocks away became available – offering a great location, a break room, parking, storage, and even a yard for Choco and Clio – we knew it was the perfect fit.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our amazing clients, and the invaluable assistance of Ryan Mitchell at Warren Real Estate and Phil Shay from the commercial mortgage department at CFCU, Narrative Space can now call this early 1800s Greek Revival building our own.

Just as you've witnessed the constant evolution of our current space over the past decade, you can expect the same dedication to creating a welcoming and inspiring environment in our new home. In other words - it's a work in progress! We're sure you wouldn't expect any less.

We can't wait to welcome you to our new space! Stay tuned for more updates and exciting announcements.

In the meantime, you can still book your appointments right on our website.
Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out.

See you soon!

Warmly,

Alexis, Chris, Brenna, + Michael
