Industrial Loft

An empty industrial-style room with exposed brick walls, concrete floor, assorted chairs, stools, and tables, illuminated by multicolored lighting.

Welcome to the third floor

This 2,000 sq. ft. space features soaring 13-foot ceilings, distressed brick walls, and an optional skylight, making it ideal for a wide array of creative projects. The building’s 2-foot-thick concrete floors and ceilings, along with 1-foot-thick brick walls, provide exceptional sound isolation.

The space is easily accessible via both a freight elevator and stairwell, and includes a double truck-loading area for efficient equipment loading and unloading.

Amenities include a private makeup room, two changing areas, a full bathroom, folding tables and microwave access. An exposed industrial ventilation fan is built into the walls, and we have AC available for an additional fee. The space is decorated with vintage industrial décor and props, many of which are over 100 years old - a one-of-a-kind backdrop with genuine historic charm.
