This ground-floor industrial loft in San Francisco's SoMa district is a flexible corporate event venue for up to 175 guests standing or about 100 seated. High ceilings, an open floor plan, good natural light, a kitchenette, and two restrooms make it a practical base for meetings, presentations, workshops, networking nights, and private celebrations.
The space sits on the first floor of a coworking building, and it keeps the raw character people expect from a SoMa loft: exposed concrete floors, open sightlines, and walls brightened by colorful murals. It works as a blank canvas that you can set up to match your own plan.

The space sits on the first floor of a coworking building, and it keeps the raw character people expect from a SoMa loft: exposed concrete floors, open sightlines, and walls brightened by colorful murals. It works as a blank canvas that you can set up to match your own plan.
The Space
The room is wide open, so a single floor plan can hold a program, a reception, and a food station at once. Daylight comes in through the windows, the building has good air circulation, and the tall ceilings leave room for audio-visual gear, lighting rigs, and signage. Ground-floor access means vendors can load in and out without stairs, which makes setup and teardown quicker for everyone involved.
The murals and concrete give the room a creative, lived-in feel that photographs well, so you can keep decoration light and let the architecture do the work. Add a few lounge groupings, a welcome table near the entrance, and some uplighting against the tall walls, and the loft reads as a finished event setting rather than an empty shell. Because the layout is so open, it is also easy to split one end for a presentation and the other for mingling.
Layout and Capacity
With room for 175 standing and about 100 seated, the loft handles both large receptions and seated programs. The open plan supports a wide range of setups:
- Theatre rows for talks, panels, and product demos
- Classroom seating for trainings and creative workshops
- Boardroom or U-shaped tables for planning sessions
- Cabaret and dining layouts for seated dinners
- Standing receptions for networking and mixers
Amenities and Equipment
- A kitchenette for basic food preparation and catering support
- Two restrooms, including accessible facilities
- Projector for presentations and screenings
- Wi-Fi throughout, plus ethernet wiring
- Air conditioning and charging outlets
- Storage space for supplies and equipment during your event
Food and Drink
The kitchenette gives caterers a place to stage and plate food, and the venue lists in-house catering rather than outside caterers, so ask the venue team about food options when you inquire. Alcoholic drinks are not allowed after 8 pm, so confirm any drink plans with the venue team; the setup suits daytime programs, receptions, and early evening events.
Events It Suits
The loft is an adaptable event venue for both work and personal gatherings. It suits:
- Executive retreats, all-hands meetings, and offsites
- Holiday parties and team celebrations
- Birthday and anniversary parties
- Engagement celebrations and family gatherings
- Workshops, launches, and ticketed community events
For companies, it works as a private event space that feels more relaxed than a hotel ballroom while still handling a sizable headcount. The space is pitched at startups, designers, artists, and businesses, and the industrial setting gives an event personality without heavy decoration. It is also a capable birthday party venue for larger groups who want room to mingle.
Promoted and ticketed events are permitted, which opens the loft to classes, talks, and community meetups as well as private bookings. If you are comparing options for an event venue for rent in the city, the combination of size, ground-floor access, and built-in kitchenette is what sets this one apart.
Planning Notes
The venue is wheelchair accessible, with ground-level entry and accessible restrooms. Free on-street parking is available in the area, along with paid parking facilities nearby. Two house rules shape the kind of event that fits best: loud music is not allowed on the premises, and alcoholic drinks are not permitted after 8 pm. Plan programs, receptions, and celebrations with those limits in mind, and share your layout and AV needs early so the room is ready.
To check open dates and confirm the setup for your group, send an inquiry through Events in Minutes with your headcount, preferred layout, and event timing.
