Apex Loft Events

Apex Loft is our flagship space — a 7,000 sq-ft penthouse loft at 530 E 8th St in DTLA, and the largest room we host events in, seating up to 100 guests. Windows on all four sides, 12-foot ceilings, a full kitchen, and a private restroom with shower give you a bright, self-contained floor for large receptions, seated dinners, launch parties, screenings, conferences and presentations, activations, and celebrations. Direct elevator access as the only unit on the floor makes load-in and guest arrival simple.

Planning a photo or video shoot instead? Book at production rates on the Apex Loft page — both listings share one availability calendar, so the space is never double-booked.
