South Coast Metro Area Event Space in Costa Mesa.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 232 sqm (2,500 sq ft) ground floor industrial retail and event space for rent at 641 Paularino Avenue in the South Coast Metro district of Costa Mesa, California, with street facing frontage, exposed industrial finishes and daylight across the main floor. The venue holds up to 240 guests and is vetted by Fashion Week Venues as move-in ready for temporary retail and brand activation use.
- Best For
- Strongest fit for multi week pop-up shop and temporary retail runs trading off South Coast Plaza traffic, followed by fashion showroom and buyer preview weeks with wholesale appointments, then sample sale and trunk show formats needing high throughput. Also available to hire for press day and product launch evenings, and for gallery style exhibition openings or content studio shoot days.
- Standout Features
- Cargo entrance plus multiple street level entrances allow rail deliveries and fit-out trucking without disrupting a live sales floor. Other differentiators include a complete kitchen suitable for full catering setup, a built in bar and service counter for receptions, integrated track lighting paired with natural daylight, dedicated on-site parking for staff and buyers, and step free handicap accessible access with WC and furniture included in the rental.
- Location
- One block from South Coast Plaza in postcode 92626, with the 55 and 405 freeways under five minutes by car, the Hilton Orange County a two minute walk and the Crowne Plaza a five minute walk for visiting buyers. Paularino Avenue is a low rise commercial street with Mitsuwa, cafes and nine restaurants within 600 metres, giving crews easy kerbside load in and guests a calm, uncongested arrival.
- Availability
- Day rate is on request and brief-based, priced against activation format, build complexity and duration; you can book by the day or book by the week. Allow four to six weeks lead time in Orange County, and longer around the pre holiday retail peak and South Coast Plaza trade weeks, when spaces at this address typically book first.
- How to Book
- Enquire with your dates, guest count and format, and our team will confirm availability and reply within 24h with a costed proposal, with no charge until confirmed. Fashion Week Venues handles City of Costa Mesa permit paperwork, event staffing and fit-out coordination on the brand's behalf, so request availability now to hold your window.
