Modern Event Space with Versatile Layout in Portage Park.

tl;dr

Space
A 297 sqm (3,200 sq ft) lower level event and retail floor for rent in Portage Park, Chicago, finished with black ceilings, grey floors and pendant lighting for a controlled, low glare interior. The open plan layout holds up to 310 guests and works as a pop-up store, showroom space or brand activation space.
Best For
Strongest fit for temporary retail and pop-up shop runs using the built-in counters and fitting rooms, followed by sample sale space with high volume garment rack capacity, brand workshops and hands on masterclasses, corporate press day or collection preview receptions, and evening private events with bar service. Each format is bookable by the day at a published day rate.
Standout Features
Move-in ready retail infrastructure including fixed counters, enclosed fitting rooms, garment racks and a dedicated stock room removes most fit-out cost from a pop-up budget. Also included: a built-in bar, full kitchen suitable for catering setup, in-house sound and video equipment, elevator access for pallet and rail deliveries, on-site parking, plus CCTV and a monitored security system for stock held overnight.
Location
Sits on the Irving Park Road retail corridor in Portage Park on Chicago's Northwest Side, with CTA Irving Park bus routes at the door and Blue Line Jefferson Park served by a short connecting ride. The immediate street is a working neighbourhood parade with Dollar Tree, BRGRBELLY and the Patio Theater within a 600 m walk, so crews unload kerbside without central Loop congestion and guests arrive by car or bus with ease.
Availability
Day rate is $4,200 with a one day minimum, making this a single day short-term rental rather than a multi-week tenancy. Book four to six weeks ahead for standard dates and eight weeks or more for spring and autumn Chicago market weeks and December peak demand, when spaces at this address typically book first.
How to Book
Enquire with your dates, guest count and activation format and we confirm availability within 24h, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, staffing and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf, so request availability now to hold your date.
