Industrial Factory Loft
Located in Williamsburg Brooklyn, the Industrial Loft is accessible via stairs and 1940s stainless steel freight elevator. The ground floor has a double truck loading area perfect for production crew loading equipment and material. We have loading ramps etc., nothing needs to be lifted. Essentially it could be rolled out of the vehicle into the freight elevator. The space has been utilized for its soundproof qualities, such as documentary interviews, live music recordings & audio filming.
Walls are 1 ft thick brick with ceilings and floor solid concrete 2 ft thick. The space is utilized as the soundproof location. We control the whole building. There are no other tenants, even the industrial freight elevator is controlled/ stopped. The Skylights, rear door and industrial fan can be controlled: blacked out or filtered for light.
