The Gear Factory

The Gear Factory is a 65,000 square foot eclectic, modern, industrial space dedicated to facilitating the needs of creatives, housing a variety of rental studios that suit varying needs of artists, musicians, and creative people. Flexible gallery and event spaces offer tenants and the community opportunities to share their work, gather and collaborate. We strive to help artists develop and grow their creative businesses! Are you an Artist or someone working within the Creative Industry? These units are loft style live/work studio apartments on the 4th or 5th floor of the building known as "The Gear Factory". These studios are housed within a communal living situation where there are shared kitchen spaces, living spaces, and bathrooms (bed and breakfast style, professionally cleaned each week). Designed for flexibility and to suit a range of lifestyle and creative needs, the model balances privacy and community. You are not just entering into another studio or just another apartment. You are embarking on a special experience, opening doors to opportunity & joining a community! Please take a moment to consider that you will be cohabitating with people in a way you probably have not experienced before. In order for this to go as smoothly as possible depends on everyone upholding a level of consideration for each other and the spaces you share. This kind of commitment will be positive for everyone's experience! Shared spaces include the kitchens, bathrooms, common areas, laundry/utility rooms, and balconies. Choosing to live in this environment requires everyone to participate and work together, including picking up after themselves in any shared spaces, taking turns taking out garbage/recyclables, and being considerate of your neighbors regarding noise and behavior of guests. For an additional roommate who would be sharing all the common space, there is an additional $100 monthly charge to the listed rental rate for that extra person.
