What comes with the space

Exposed brick is visual. The useful combination is daylight, volume and control: skylights over the workspace, loft ceilings, a bathroom inside the suite, tenant-controlled HVAC and parking on the property.

Frank O. Gehry & Associates worked here for its Cloverfield studio years, and Gehry designed the building’s 1987 alteration. See the documented Gehry history or explore the building in 3D.

Tour the space with a real checklist

  • Test the daylight: Check desk locations, glare and where the skylights land throughout the day.
  • Map the work: Mark where editing, focused work, meetings and client-facing rooms would go.
  • Confirm the controls: Verify HVAC responsibility, access hours, security and internet options.
  • Count parking honestly: Use the team's real peak headcount, then account for guests.
  • Normalize the economics: Compare modified-gross terms, tenant improvements and any operating obligations against other options on the same basis.

What does modified gross mean?

It describes how rent and operating expenses are divided between landlord and tenant. The exact allocation is controlled by the lease, so compare the actual proposal rather than the label alone.

Did Frank Gehry work here?

What size offices should I ask to see?

Start with the published examples below, from about 2,000 SF, and ask about combining adjoining space up to 10,000 SF. Request the current suite list and a plan for your move date.

What should I check for a studio or production office?

Compare the actual plan, daylight, ceiling conditions, equipment needs and access with your workflow. Ask the representative to confirm your intended use, parking allocation and any alterations in the written proposal. A creative-office listing does not establish approval for a particular production activity.
