About the building:

This recently renovated building was originally built in the late 1800s by a student of Albert Kahn for the purposes of designing and building architectural furnishings for many Detroit Public School. For the past 45 years however, it was an aerospace machine shop, so all of the character from both eras shines through upstairs. If you’re looking for a place to host your next family get-together or corporate event, this is the spot!

Available to anyone looking to host an event in 3,500 sqft of cool industrial space. 50th birthday parties, product launch parties, art gallery pop-ups, weddings, car & bike shows, corporate Christmas parties, meet & greets, mixers, or photo/video shoots- make the place yours for the day. There are three large roll-up doors to make the event as open or intimate as you prefer. The indoor area has 20ft ceilings, 3,500 square feet of industrial space, courtyard access, gated side lot access with fire pit, patio seating, indoor and outdoor parking for show cars or bikes, and one unisex ADA restroom at ground level. Food trucks can pull right into the space so your event can keep rocking and rolling rain or shine!
