Renting at Backus

Businesses who rent space at Backus Community Center enjoy many amenities. The spaces listed on this page are located on upper levels of the west wing of the building, ensuring business privacy. They are easily accessible by an elevator. Tenants aren't limited just to their spaces, though. There are various rental services available at Backus to help with special meeting needs; we offer everything from large spaces to electronics for teleconference meetings to catering. Our tenants enjoy round the clock access to the building and their spaces. Our historic building is well lit and beautifully maintained with great pride by our staff.

AND... because these spaces are on the upper levels, our renters enjoy a fabulous view of International Falls.

While Backus rentals are competitively priced at current market values, Backus is more than a just a place to rent an office. It's a place where arts are alive. It's a place where everyone has a story about "When I went to school here..." It's a place where people are valued. It's growing and changing and very much alive.

And it's waiting for you.
