How much does it cost?
Initially, warehouses attracted artists and musicians because the property was cheap. Now that these spaces are in higher demand, you can expect prices to be similar to other event venues of comparable size.
That said, costs vary widely based on the location, how big the venue is, and its amenities. You can be sure that urban warehouses in big cities cost the most. Luckily, Peerspace venues all list the pricing upfront, with no hidden fees or charges of any kind, so you’ll always know what to expect before you make a decision.
Let’s use our warehouse examples from above to illustrate the range of warehouse rental prices.
New York, NY
The New York waterfront warehouse is the most expensive on this list, costing about $1,450 per hour with a 10-hour rental minimum.
But keep in mind what you get for the price in terms of location and amenities. It’s on the water in Long Island City, providing perfect Manhattan views. It also comprises 5,500 square feet of event space, more than 600 square feet of kitchen space, and 1,300 square feet of outdoor terrace space.
In the simple words of one Peerspace reviewer: “Great host. Great space. Would book again.”
Los Angeles
The architectural plex-glass warehouse in LA costs $450 per hour and has a 10-hour rental minimum. As you can imagine, it is best for productions rather than events, with its color-changing LED lighting grid making a superb backdrop for music videos, fashion shoots, and more.
In the words of a choreographer who booked a dance video shoot here: “It was epic! Thank you! Jeremy was awesome and really made the experience incredible. The space is insane. Thank you!”
San Jose
Conversely, the production studio in San Jose costs $149 per hour with a three-hour rental minimum. This is a very popular spot for productions, so that’s vital to keep in mind as well.
In fact, book a project here and you can make use of the LED car tunnel, moving headlights, infinity mirror room, and a 40′ LED wall.
According to one Peerspace reviewer, this warehouse has a “Really nice set! And the host and workers were very respectful and helpful. Definitely would book again.”
New South Wales, Aus
Even more affordable than the San Jose warehouse studio is the creative warehouse space in Glebe, NSW. It costs $75 per hour and has a four-hour minimum. Thanks to its high ceilings, concrete floors, and painted white brick walls, it provides a modern and raw setting for productions and events.
Since it operates as a professional rehearsal space, the host can also provide an array of video equipment while an on-site PA can help you tune up your gear. It’s a beautiful space with bespoke services that make bringing together your project easy.
“This studio was perfect for my project,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “Paul had excellent communication and always replied promptly which made the booking easier. I definitely recommend renting this space for your projects. Very happy.”
Miami / Houston / Atlanta
The stunning multipurpose production warehouse in Miami, the central location warehouse in Houston, and the new creative event space warehouse in Atlanta are similarly priced, at $250 per hour with a four-hour minimum, $259 per hour with a six-hour minimum, and $350 with a four-hour minimum respectively.
All of these venues have a charming, distinct ambiance and a myriad of features that make them absolute creative havens. We love them as options for your next large-scale event, but they also work well for productions, too.
Toronto, Canada
The Toronto downtown brick-and-beam event space costs about CA$300 per hour and has a four-hour minimum. This is a high-tech space ideal for meetings and coworking, with high-speed WiFi, 16 workstations, a kitchen, a freight elevator, and a dog and bicycle-welcomed policy.
A Peerspace user who booked a corporate meeting at this Toronto warehouse had this to say in their review: “This venue is going to be tough to beat. Our attendees loved it. It was clean, spacious, had everything we needed, decorated to perfection. Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with, she made everything so easy for us. I would say you should rent it, but I kind of want to keep this place to myself 😊”
London, England
Finally, the all-white event and production warehouse in London’s East End is £115 per hour and has a four-hour minimum. It is spacious and has an array of features that make it ideal for both professional and private events. The venue includes a gallery space, a kitchenette, and a green room, and is fully licensed for hosting weddings. It’s basically a huge blank slate, so let your imagination run wild!
In the words of a Peerspace user: “Host was very responsive. The space has a lovely warehouse vibe with lots of different textures to work with.”
