A new concept
In 1998, Martin Giroux had a vision, creating a coworking space for artists. A very well equipped and located space, where dancers, teachers, companies, theatre or singing productions, could let their creative minds expand.
After a trip around Montreal and New York City, a need and an opportunity were clearly identified.
By 1999, Studio Bizz : Espace Locatif Pour Esprit Créatif (Studio Bizz : A rental space for creative minds) was born. The vision was proven fruitful when a second location opened in 2010.
Located at the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal, the studio has become a stapple in rental space for the arts and culture field.
A COVID RESTRUCTURE
As for most companies in this industry, the pandemic brought a time for serious reflection. Finding clients willing to commit to long term rentals in such a volatile time was a tall order. Martin being the problem solver that he is, decided to restructure the business model and convert some of the space to become a conventional dance, yoga, wellness studio. His vision, again, was clear. Just two years since moving away from the hard days of covid, Studio Bizz now has a roster of close to 50 teachers offering 60 classes, running 7 days / week.
Studio Bizz continues to be a leader in rental space today, and also, offers the largest variety of dance and wellness recreational classes for adults on the island.
