If you don’t know much about the City of Angels, then let us tell you that picking the 10 coolest warehouses in Los Angeles isn’t all that easy. Why? Because there are too many cool industrial locations to count. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re all part of Tinsel Town’s history, and today, they\u2019re extremely popular with filmmakers and photographers because they make amazing studios. You can build and takedown sets indoors, which, of course, gives you the ability to film away from the prying eye of the gawking public. They\u2019re also jaw-dropping event spaces, so don’t overlook them if you\u2019re searching for a venue that guests will be talking about for weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a high-fashion photoshoot with the city skyline in the background? There are warehouses for that. Want to set up some quarter-pipes and film a skateboard documentary? Los Angeles has got warehouses for that too. Want a rustic open space for a wedding reception? You guessed it \u2014 there\u2019s a warehouse for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And do you know where to book a cool, historic, spacious warehouse all your own for a few hours? Right here on Peerspace, the world’s largest online marketplace for stylish venue rentals you can book by the hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, without further ado, here are the 10 coolest warehouses in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. This old, prop-filled warehouse in Hyde Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 2,500 square foot warehouse venue<\/a> is a verifiably excellent place to film. The owner has decorated the space with vintage neon signs and other props that you’re free to use. And they’re super flexible and are happy to accommodate you and your crew. The space has plenty of parking and double roll-up garage doors for bringing in your gear with ease. Additionally, exposed brick walls and two fenced lots are also part of this sensational warehouse rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the nicest features of booking a warehouse on Peerspace is that you get to read reviews from real past renters. And this warehouse has lots of five-star reviews! Like this one: “Amazing space and Host. Rian was extremely accommodating and made sure we had an exceptional experience. A nice selection of textural surfaces which gives you plenty of video and photo opportunities.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. This blank-canvas warehouse with incredible natural light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This warehouse in Central Los Angeles fashions itself as ideal for photoshoots, and it\u2019s hard to disagree when a slew of other creatives say the same thing. With its huge white walls and all that natural light, you can get some incredible things on film here. Rent it all day because the photos you get at sunset are stellar. And at 4,000 square feet of blank space, you can let your imagination run wild here. Your rental also includes the use of a kitchenette and its street-level access makes it easy to load your equipment in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. This open, artistic warehouse with tons of texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 12,000 square foot open, artistic warehouse in Vernon<\/a> is stunning. Check out its gorgeous textured concrete walls, as well as its unique architectural elements in golds, whites, and deep blues. With a little imagination, there\u2019s basically nothing you couldn\u2019t do here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People have transformed it into a high-fashion impression of a rich person\u2019s garage \u2013\u2013 glimmering lights and bright Ferraris. Others have used it for music videos. It\u2019s been filmed for club scenes. Others have outfitted the place to be an office building. It’s also been filled with weight benches and turned into a gym. It really can be anything you want. This is why this place has been in basically every magazine you can think of \u2014 including Vogue<\/em>, as well as some feature films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also a space with plenty of five-star reviews, with past renters saying things like: “Huge space that looks great on camera,”<\/em> and “The place is dope, the site rep was on point and professional and the place was spotless. Would come here ANYTIME. GREAT Experience.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

4. This gorgeous whitewashed studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This white-washed studio<\/a> is another super-flexible location. The high white ceilings and the all-white walls and floors make this an interesting, bright place to shoot. The place gets a surprising amount of natural light, which warms up all that white and makes it almost glow. Like others on this list, it\u2019s also got a pretty big freight elevator, so you’ll be able to get your film or photo gear up (as well as your crew) with ease. The owners also have an assortment of fascinating antique furniture on hand that you can use to stage photos \u2014 or of course, you could bring your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many warehouses in Los Angeles, this one is pretty busy, usually having multiple photo or film shoots a week. But the owner is known to respond to inquiries really quickly \u2014 and sometimes can get you into the space as soon as today. In the words of one Peerspace reviewer: “Amazing space with a ton of amenities! I will book again!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. This North Hollywood warehouse\/film studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This studio in North Hollywood<\/a> has a pristine White Cyclorama wall and enough space to accommodate a cast and crew of up to about 50 people. You should know that there is an additional fee for any crew over 15, which is pretty standard. The main stage area is over 4,000 square feet, and the cyclorama is 30 feet x 30 feet and 14 feet tall. There\u2019s also a nice closed-off backstage area with greenrooms and meeting rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a creative director who booked this warehouse for a shoot: “Wonderful space! This studio is a gem and we highly recommend it to anyone. From pre production through production, their staff was friendly and helpful, stepping up whenever we had a question or new request. Will book again!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. This artsy, raw warehouse in South L.A.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This artsy and raw place<\/a> is pretty unique in that it has two distinct sides with two distinct \u201clooks.\u201d One side is bohemian and fairly artsy-looking, and the other side is raw and gritty with sheet metal walls, rust, spray-painted notices, and so on. It would be easy to film part of the warehouse as an artists\u2019 loft. And just as easy to film an interrogation for a spy film in the same warehouse, just by turning your camera around. And, so that you know, the listing mentions that set and prop builds are a-OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out what one reviewer had to say about their time here: “Host was super responsive ! Space appeared better in person ! We recorded a dance video of about 12 people !”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. This mesmerizingly bright space in Central LA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is another trendy place, especially for fashion shoots and Instagram photography.  It has such a romantic, bright look that it could easily be styled as a ballet studio or a retro office building. It can really fit just about any creative need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This open-concept warehouse is on the fifth floor and boasts more than 11,000 square feet. It\u2019s a popular spot for photography \u2013 especially for Instagram shoots. Tons of natural light filter in through the windows, which reveal views of DTLA, including the Arts District and the Staples Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to check out their photos. They include some examples from photoshoots that have taken place in the warehouse, and those are sure to spark your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. This plexi-covered warehouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This plexi-covered space<\/a> is one-of-a-kind. On the one hand, sure, it\u2019s a big open space. On the other hand, everything about it has character. The concrete floor is weathered to a marble look. Those dark walls seem to disappear under the crazy plexiglass ceiling. And, the whole place is lit by LED lighting arrays, which can change color with the press of a button. The place looks creepy, bathed in red, and incredibly posh bathed in blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There aren\u2019t many warehouses in Los Angeles or anywhere else quite like this space. It would be the perfect spot to shoot a music video, for a high fashion photoshoot, for glamour shots of Lamborghinis. It\u2019s the perfect place for all of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And perhaps unsurprisingly, it has gotten tons of love from past Peerspace renters, as you can see from a review like this: “Awesome Space! really loved shooting at this location, the lighting is awesome and the space itself is well air conditioned and big!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

9. This 5,500-square-foot warehouse that doubles as a set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This space is just five minutes from downtown and is designed with filmmakers and photographers in mind. There are multiple sets under one roof: bohemian living spaces, fancier rooms with tall white wainscoting, a cyclorama wall, a beautifully laid-out meeting area, a kitchen, and plenty of places to explore. There\u2019s a nice spacious freight elevator available. And this place is booked all the time and often by some pretty big studios, so the staff here is extremely professional and knowledgeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of a production manager who booked this warehouse<\/a> for a shoot: “My team has filmed in the space twice & plan on going back. It suits our needs perfectly. Darshan is very helpful and communicative.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. This huge, gritty, industrial warehouse space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a popular gritty, industrial space<\/a> for film and photoshoots with its high ceilings, gritty concrete and brick, and the light that pours in from the 17\u2019 high skylights. It\u2019s been in commercials, music videos, high-fashion, and luxury car photoshoots. It\u2019s hosted art events, as well as some amazing parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warehouse itself is 5,000 square feet. It\u2019s surprisingly well lit due to the six skylights (which can, of course, be blacked out, if necessary). There\u2019s also a green room, as well as a makeup room. And there are additional filming spots outdoors with views of L.A. All in all, this is an incredible place to film, and it can accommodate larger crews than the other warehouses on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not surprising that this venue has hundreds of five-star reviews. Like this one: “Extremely communicative and flexible. A real pleasure to work with and fantastic location for film shoots. Would absolutely recommend and hope to be back for smooth shoots here again in the future!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for choosing the right warehouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
