The 12,000 sq. ft. Mid Century style building is located on the cusp of the industrial Westside of Costa Mesa which originally housed a sail manufacturer during the height of the Nautical trades that took place for decades on the Mesa bluff. The bilevel space provides a special 2,000 sq. ft. mezzanine level that runs the full length of the building offering the viewer a unique perspective of the ground floor entertainment and/or installation below. The stunning architecture and volume of the 8,000 sq. ft. main floor area delivers expansive floor and wall space, 20' lofted ceiling heights, and is enhanced by large skylights, letting in natural light and good energy.
