Full-Service Production Studio and Storefront in East Los Angeles.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 465 sqm (5,000 sq ft) full-service production studio and storefront for rent in Cypress Park on the Eastside of Los Angeles, combining a retail-fronted floor with a basement-level studio built for shooting and selling in the same visit. The layout carries fitting rooms, counters and garment racks already installed, making it move-in ready for fashion use.
- Best For
- Strongest fit is a multi-day pop-up store or temporary retail run with on-site stock handling, followed by fashion showroom and buyer preview appointments, then content studio and brand shoot production days. It also works well for press days and collection previews, and for evening product launches or cocktail receptions with an occupancy estimate of 480.
- Standout Features
- Full retail infrastructure comes with the rental: fitting rooms, sales counters, garment racks and a dedicated stock room for backstock and returns. Sound and video equipment plus studio lighting are already rigged in, and the site adds a kitchen suitable for catering setup, on-site parking, an elevator for load-in of heavy fixtures, and CCTV with a monitored security system across the floor.
- Location
- Cypress and Alice bus stop is a 2 minute walk, Cypress and Maceo 2 minutes, and the Metro 251 line at Cypress and Arvia 4 minutes, with San Fernando Road services 4 to 5 minutes out. The immediate streets in Cypress Park are low-rise, industrial and wide enough for truck access, with the James Beard semifinalist restaurant Barra Santos nearby giving guests somewhere credible to land before or after an event.
- Availability
- Day rate is $3,000 USD with a one day minimum and a 30 day maximum, so you can book by the day or by the week. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead for standard dates and 10 to 12 weeks for LA Fashion Week, awards season in February and March, and the Coachella and Art Book Fair windows, when Eastside production spaces at this scale typically clear first.
- How to Book
- Send your dates and brief and we reply within 24h with a hold, with no charge until confirmed. Fashion Week Venues handles City of Los Angeles permit paperwork, event staffing and fit-out coordination on the brand's behalf, so request availability now to lock your window.

activation ideas
Pop-Up Store
This works as a temporary retail run because the retail infrastructure is already installed: counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a dedicated stock room mean you are merchandising rather than building from zero. Across 465 sqm you can run roughly 60 to 80 shoppers on the floor comfortably with backstock held below and replenished during trading hours. On-site parking and the elevator handle daily restock without blocking the entrance, and we typically pair this with point of sale and payments so transactions, stock counts and reporting run off one system from day one.
Sample Sale
Few spaces in Los Angeles handle a sample sale as cleanly as this one, because the stock room, garment racks and multiple fitting rooms are the exact three things sample sales run out of first. In practice the stock room absorbs size runs and returns to floor without cluttering the shopping area, and the counters support two or three till points during peak hours. Cypress Park is a drive-to location rather than a walk-by one, so build your queue through email and SMS, and brief retail staffing for door control and fitting room turnaround.
SS/AW Seasonal Showroom
The combination of hanging capacity and a controlled basement environment makes this a workable seasonal showroom rental for a full collection presentation. Garment racks are already in place, so a 200 to 400 piece line hangs without additional fixture rental, and the windowless studio level gives you consistent lighting conditions for colour and fabric review across a full day of appointments. The kitchen supports coffee and light catering on site, and the security system plus CCTV cover sample stock held overnight between showroom days.
Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Previews
This suits back-to-back buyer appointments because the split between storefront frontage and basement studio lets you run one buyer in review while the next arrives without the two groups overlapping. Plan for two to four buyers per slot with a rail-side seating setup, and use the stock room as a private prep area for pulling looks between meetings. On-site parking is the practical advantage here: LA buyers drive, and no one is circling the block before a 9am wholesale appointment.
Press Day and Collection Preview
A press day performs well here because the space holds a full seasonal rail display and a shootable corner in the same footprint, so editors and stylists can view, request and photograph in one visit. Expect a comfortable 40 to 60 attendees across a rolling drop-in format rather than a seated presentation. The kitchen handles catering setup, and the installed lighting means press photographers do not need to bring kit for quick product captures. Distance from West Hollywood is the honest constraint, so schedule press slots rather than open hours.
E-commerce Shoot
This is one of the stronger e-commerce shoot options on the Eastside because the basement level is windowless, which removes the daylight drift that forces reshoots on ground-floor studios. Fitting rooms double as talent changing, garment racks keep the shot list ordered by look, and the installed lighting covers a standard cyc or seamless setup without a full grip package. A two model, 120 look day is realistic here with a crew of eight to ten, and the elevator moves rails and cases in without a stair carry.
Brand Shoot and Content Day
What makes this work as a content studio specifically is that the storefront and the studio give you two visually different environments in one booking, so a campaign day can deliver retail-context frames and clean studio frames without a location move. Brands running content days in spaces like this typically set up hair and makeup in the storefront area and shoot below, using the kitchen as crew catering. Sound and video equipment is on site, and the wide industrial street outside supports truck parking for larger productions.
Video Production
Video works here because the basement floor is acoustically isolated from street noise and the sound and video equipment is already rigged, which removes a meaningful line item from a one or two day shoot. The 465 sqm footprint takes a build set at one end and a lighting and monitor village at the other with room to move between them. Power and heating are in place, and access via the elevator and parking area suits overnight strike. Neighbouring residential streets mean late exterior work needs a sound plan.
Product Launch
A launch performs here because you can trade, present and capture content in a single evening without reconfiguring the room. Plan around 120 to 180 guests for a standing reception format rather than the full occupancy figure, which leaves circulation space around product displays and the counters as bar or checkout positions. The kitchen supports a caterer working on site rather than off a van, parking removes the valet problem, and the installed lighting is enough to make the product wall photograph properly for same-night posting.
Influencer Event
This suits an influencer event because the two-level layout lets you separate the social area from a dedicated content capture setup, which is the difference between usable footage and a room full of people filming each other in bad light. Forty to sixty creators is the sweet spot here, with the studio level rigged as a shoot corner and the storefront running gifting and drinks. We usually attach influencer marketing to spec the guest list and capture plan before the fixtures go in.
Workshop or Masterclass
Workshops run well in this space because the floor is a working production environment rather than a polished retail box, so making, cutting and hands-on sessions do not risk damaging a finish. Seat 30 to 50 at tables with clear sightlines to a demonstration point, using the installed sound system for a room this size so the instructor is not projecting. The kitchen covers refreshments, the stock room holds materials and kits, and the Cypress Park maker ecosystem nearby makes local craft partners easy to source.
Art Exhibition or Gallery Showing
This works for an invited-audience exhibition rather than a public gallery run, and that distinction matters. The basement level gives you a controlled, windowless hang with no daylight fade risk and the installed lighting can be repositioned for wall work, while the storefront handles arrival, guestlist and a bar. CCTV and the security system cover works held on site across a multi-day showing. Be honest in the internal case: walk-in footfall in Cypress Park is minimal, so audience comes from your list, not the street.
use cases
location
the neighbourhood
Production companies, photo studios, furniture fabricators and independent apparel labels make up the working population of Cypress Park, and most of them operate out of converted warehouse stock along Cypress Avenue and the San Fernando Road corridor. Within a short drive you have prop houses, grip and lighting rental yards, set builders serving both Hollywood and commercial clients, ceramicists and metal shops, and a growing cluster of small-batch clothing manufacturers who kept their cutting and sewing operations on the Eastside when downtown rents climbed. Barra Santos has become the default lunch and post-shoot spot for crews working these blocks, and the Richard Henry Dana branch library anchors the residential side. Creative directors and stylists who live in Highland Park, Glassell Park and Frogtown treat this stretch as their workshop belt. In our experience placing brands here, the ecosystem is production-first rather than retail-first, which is exactly why it suits teams building something rather than simply displaying it, as several projects in our work have shown.
Brands choose this pocket over the Arts District, Melrose Avenue and Abbot Kinney because the square footage economics are fundamentally different and the logistics are easier. A 5,000 sq ft floor with parking, an elevator, a stock room and rigged sound and lighting would cost multiples of this in the Arts District, and on Melrose or La Brea you would be paying a premium for walk-by visibility you may not actually need for a press day or buyer appointment format. What you gain here is space, load-in access on wide industrial streets, and the ability to run a shoot in the morning and a private preview in the evening without moving locations. What you give up is spontaneous foot traffic and the address recognition that West Hollywood or Venice carry with certain press lists. Downtown hotels sit roughly fifteen minutes away, DTLA showroom appointments are an easy connection, and the 251 bus plus San Fernando Road services cover guests without cars, though most LA attendees will drive. Run the numbers through the budget calculator before comparing westside quotes.
Arriving here feels like arriving at a working yard rather than a retail street. Mornings bring delivery vans, crew call times and contractors, with real activity from around seven until mid morning, then the block settles into a quieter industrial rhythm through the afternoon. Pedestrians are locals and workers rather than shoppers, and the residential streets immediately behind the corridor mean evening events need sensible sound management and a clear parking plan for guests. The storefront frontage gives you a legible entrance and the basement-level studio gives you a controlled, windowless environment for shooting, fittings and stock handling, which is the combination brand teams who activate here consistently tell us they were struggling to find elsewhere in the city. Honest limitation: this is not a neighbourhood for high-volume tourist retail or walk-in sales. If your model depends on strangers noticing your window, look west. If it depends on invited guests, controlled content capture and real production and build capacity, it performs.

frequently asked
Yes, this 5,000 sq ft studio and storefront in Cypress Park is available for pop-up shops and is one of the more retail-ready spaces we hold on the Eastside of Los Angeles. Fitting rooms, sales counters, garment racks and a dedicated stock room are already installed, so your brand is not paying to build the basics of a shop floor before you open the doors. The one day minimum and 30 day maximum lease mean you can run a weekend drop or a month-long temporary retail residency from the same address. In our experience handling pop-up bookings at production-studio addresses like this, the ability to shoot content in the basement studio and sell upstairs in the same visit is what makes the day rate work harder. Send your dates and we will confirm whether the window is open.
