Some local boutique coffee shop that they can't just run down to Walmart and get. 

Your right...the nice ones seem to disappear.But I do like the @George P. boutique design but maybe powder coated in matt black.We replaced the toilet, lights & all fixtures etc in a bathroom we rehabbed.

Smaller boutique brokerages focused particularly on investors will allow you to do it.

I'm pretty sure they are but more than likely your local boutique managers with 10-30 homes under their portfolio. 

Started real estate in 2000 working for two national builders, then KW, then a boutique real estate firm to create thoughtful and innovative sales and marketing solutions for developers of mid / high-rise condos to apartment conversions, and finally with United Real Estate where I help out real estate needs of friends and family.  

They are saying it is a hotel-like meeting space and the place overall has "an upscale, hotel-boutique atmosphere".

Perhaps even check with the city and see about zoning half of the building into residential for long term tenants and the lower floor for commercial like barbers, or boutique shops.  

Gym/personal training.You have intrigued me.What is your vision for this gym--because I think that could possibly matter in location.Big gym, small gym, boutique gym, ladies only gym, strongman gym, powerlifter gym, Starting Strength gym, sports assist gym (???)

@Angela Joy Seard I'd have to agree with @Greg O'Brien if you are looking for that smaller shop feel and boutique service then I'd probably stay away from the "big guys" as they are just a machine that is going to churn you in and out very efficiently but likely won't have a lot of personalized services. 

I'm not at liberty to disclose specifics, but I am able to say that it is very generous, compared to most of the splits I've seen proposed for many local or 'boutique' brokerages I've spoken with.
