Home to celebrities and artists over the years including acclaimed Argentinian painter Ronaldo de Juan. The loft’s roots are reflected in the grand 15’ wooden beam ceilings, hardwood floors, and exposed brick walls. The Loft’s interior is a combination of avant-garde early 70s architects and a modern renovation in 2017. The extraordinarily high wood beam ceilings lend grandeur to its principle layout—two enormous open spaces—one to the north and one to the south against a silent alleyway. Most the of the apartment exists on the south side which features walk-in closets, two bathrooms, a fully loaded, open-design chef’s kitchen, library/reading nook, dining area, and a TV lounge.

Finally, we require all bookings to put down a Security Deposit (3-5x hourly fee per day). This Security Deposit is held separately via ACH or direct transfer (Venmo or Zelle) and will be returned within 3-7 business days assuming no damages occurred during your shoot. For large productions, a custom Security Deposit is required. Bookings where alcohol is being served may incur a higher security deposit. The hourly base rate increases as your head count increases, the automated tiers reflect our minimums, pricing is custom for all bookings, an *exact* headcount is required prior to finalizing the booking. Someone will be on site to orient you in the space and also to verify headcount and that all rules are followed. If the total headcount exceeds the booking, the booking will be adjusted and overages will be applied. The total headcount accounts for everyone using the premises for the booking throughout the day, not the total number of people in the space at one time. We have a 5 hour minimum. The best way to plan to avoid overages like OT is to schedule yourself for a longer day even if you do not anticipate needing the full amount of time. We also advise that you give yourself some wiggle room with the total headcount even if you do not expect additional people on set when finalizing the booking. Large impact network/commercial filming will require a customized quote. Productions requiring prep days/ setting up gear and leaving it in The Loft as a built set overnight(s) will receive custom pricing for this use of of the space as an overnight rental.
