Modern Event Space in Portage Park.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 297 sqm (3,200 sq ft) basement-level brand activation space for rent in Portage Park on Chicago's Northwest Side, finished with black ceilings, grey floors and suspended pendant lighting for a dark-shell contemporary look. The blackout envelope gives full control over lighting, which suits product photography and evening presentations.
- Best For
- Strongest fit is a multi-week pop-up store or temporary retail run using the built-in counters and fitting rooms, followed by sample sale space with high-volume garment rack merchandising, then buyer preview and wholesale appointment days, brand workshops with seated tables, and content studio or brand shoot bookings that need a controllable dark set. Corporate and private evening events also hire this floor regularly.
- Standout Features
- Move-in ready retail infrastructure is already installed: fixed service counters, fitting rooms, garment racks and a separate stock room, so a pop-up shop can trade without a full fit-out. Also included are a built-in bar for press and preview receptions, a working kitchen for catering setup, a dedicated coat and reception area, sound and video equipment, CCTV and an alarmed security system, elevator access to the basement floor for pallet and rail deliveries, and on-site parking that is rare for Chicago venues at this rate.
- Location
- Portage Park, Chicago 60634 district, roughly 12 minutes on foot from CTA Blue Line service toward O'Hare and the Loop, with local bus routes within 5 minutes and O'Hare International around 15 minutes by car. The immediate street is low-rise neighbourhood commercial with kerbside loading directly outside, so crews can unload rails without a street permit queue and guests arrive to a calm, low-traffic frontage.
- Availability
- Minimum rental is 1 day at a day rate of $2,400 (approximately EUR 2,091), and you can book by the day or book by the week with longer runs quoted on request. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead for Chicago, and 8 to 10 weeks around Chicago fashion week windows, September market and the November and December holiday retail peak, when spaces at this address typically book first.
- How to Book
- Send a brief through Fashion Week Venues and we reply within 24h with confirmed dates, a full-cost quote and a hold, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, event staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf. Request availability now to secure your dates.
