Versatile Event Space with Indoor/Outdoor Areas.

tl;dr

Space
A 279 sqm (3,000 sq ft) industrial loft venue for rent on 14th Street NW in the U Street Corridor of Washington DC, combining 24 foot ceilings with an outdoor terrace and electronically operated garage doors. The space holds up to 200 guests and is vetted by Fashion Week Venues as a brand activation space for indoor and outdoor formats.
Best For
Strongest fit is a multi day pop-up store or temporary retail activation using the fitting rooms and counters already installed. Also available to hire for showroom presentations and buyer previews, product launches and press days with catered receptions, art exhibitions and gallery showings under the 24 foot ceilings, and content studio or video production days using the terrace as a second set.
Standout Features
Electronically operated garage doors open the main floor directly onto an outdoor terrace overlooking 14th Street, so a rental can run as one continuous indoor outdoor room. Other differentiators include 24 foot ceilings for tall rigging and large format installations, a custom built catering wing sized for full vendor prep, move-in ready retail fixtures with fitting rooms, counters and garment racks, plus in house lighting, sound and video equipment, a stock room, elevator access and on site parking.
Location
U Street/African American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Metro on the Green and Yellow lines is roughly a 4 minute walk, with 14th Street bus routes at the door and Dupont Circle Metro around 12 minutes on foot in the 20009 district. The immediate stretch of 14th Street NW is a dense retail and dining strip with Madewell, Trader Joe's, Tatte Bakery and Busboys and Poets within a few hundred metres, giving crews easy kerbside load in and guests a walkable arrival.
Availability
Day rate is 3,600 USD with a one day minimum and bookings accepted up to 28 days, so you can book by the day or book by the week. Spaces at this address typically book four to six weeks ahead in Washington DC, and demand peaks around spring and autumn fashion presentation windows, holiday pop-up season and inauguration and congressional event periods, so request availability early.
How to Book
Enquire with your dates, guest numbers and activation format and our team will reply within 24h to confirm availability, with no charge until confirmed. Fashion Week Venues handles DC permit paperwork, staffing and fit-out coordination on the brand's behalf, so send your brief to request availability and hold your dates.
