The space
Corporate event venue in San Francisco's Mission District
A concrete-frame loft with skylights, a mezzanine, a lighting truss and a full kitchen — suited to corporate offsites, team retreats, product launches, dinners, hackathons and exhibitions, and built to be rearranged around whatever you are making.
Built to be rearranged
Concrete columns, exposed timber joists, red steel factory windows and a run of skylights down the spine of the building. A mezzanine wraps the main floor, giving you a second level of sightlines for a talk, a runway or a demonstration. The kitchen is a real kitchen, not a warming pantry.
It reads beautifully on camera and takes a crowd without ceremony.
Companies use the building as a corporate event venue in San Francisco: all-hands and team offsites, multi-day retreats and strategy sessions, product launches and press previews, client dinners, recruiting events, hackathons, holiday parties and nonprofit fundraising — all within walking distance of BART and the freeway.

Questions
Before you ask
How do I book Assembly SF?+
Start with the inquiry form. Every gathering is scoped through a conversation rather than an instant checkout, because pricing and suitability depend on date, duration, attendance, production and permitting requirements.
What does it cost to host here?+
Pricing is tailored to the date, duration, attendance and production requirements of each gathering. We will send a written proposal after we understand what you are planning.
What kinds of events does the space suit?+
Dinners, launches, talks, panels, workshops, hackathons, holiday parties, nonprofit fundraising, exhibitions, brand activations, fashion and design events, photo and video productions, off-sites and community gatherings.
Can I bring my own caterer or bar service?+
Catering and beverage policies are being finalized. Tell us what you have in mind in your inquiry and we will confirm specifics directly.
Is the venue accessible?+
We are documenting the building's accessibility features and will publish verified details rather than assurances. Please raise any access requirements in your inquiry and we will answer honestly and specifically.
Can I tour the space?+
Yes. Submit an inquiry and we will arrange a walkthrough at 270 14th Street.
Can I propose a public program rather than book privately?+
Please do. Assembly SF is actively looking for talks, workshops, exhibitions and dinners to host as part of its own programming.
