Work With Us
Have an empty space? Let's do something with it.
Interim works with property owners, developers, municipalities, BIAs, tourism organizations and community partners to create temporary uses for vacant and underutilized buildings.
We take the building, the timeline and the opportunity into consideration — then develop an activation that makes sense.
More Information
For Property Owners
Your building may be waiting for its next tenant.
In the meantime, it doesn't have to sit empty.
Interim can help turn vacant space into an active destination through carefully selected temporary uses and programming.
Depending on the property, that could mean:
- Photo and film studios
- Events
- Pop-up retail
- Markets
- Wellness programming
- Creative workspaces
- Seasonal installations
- Workshops
- Community events
- Brand activations
The goal is simple:
Create activity and value while the property remains available for its next permanent use.
For Developers
Development doesn't happen overnight.
Planning, approvals, construction and leasing can create long periods where buildings or portions of buildings remain unused.
Interim can help make that time work harder.
Temporary activation can create visibility around a property, introduce new audiences to a neighbourhood, generate revenue and help test potential uses before permanent decisions are made.
For Municipalities & BIAs
Vacant storefronts and buildings can have a significant impact on how a neighbourhood feels.
Interim works with municipalities, BIAs and community organizations to develop activation programs that encourage people to visit, explore and engage with underutilized spaces.
Programming can be designed around:
- Local businesses
- Artists and makers
- Tourism
- Seasonal events
- Community programming
- Wellness
- Markets
- Cultural experiences
- Creative industries
Each activation is developed around the goals of the community and the realities of the space.
For Property Owners Looking for Something Different
Sometimes you don't need another tenant.
You need someone to figure out what the space could be.
That's where Interim comes in.
We can help develop the concept, identify potential operators and programming partners, coordinate the activation and manage the moving pieces required to bring it to life.
How it works
01 — DISCOVER
We start with the building.
We'll learn about the space, its history, its condition, its location, its availability and your goals.
02 — STRATEGIZE
We identify opportunities for temporary use based on the building, market and timeline.
03 — CREATE
We develop the activation concept, experience and programming strategy.
04 — CONNECT
We bring together the right creative partners, vendors, businesses and operators.
05 — ACTIVATE
We coordinate the launch and bring people into the space.
06 — EVOLVE
As the building's future changes, the activation can change with it.
A Flexible Model
Every project is different.
Some activations may involve a straightforward rental model.
Others may involve programming partnerships, revenue sharing, management fees or customized agreements with property owners and partners.
We build the commercial structure around the project rather than forcing every property into the same model.
The space comes first.
