Equity Union Commercial is pleased to present 802 Mateo Street, an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive creative commercial properties in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles' thriving Arts District.
Positioned on one of the neighborhood's most recognizable streets, this approximately 5,000-square-foot creative industrial building sits on a 7,000-square-foot lot and combines authentic brick warehouse architecture with one of the market's most valuable assets—an existing Special Events Entitlement. The property has operated as a premier event venue and offers exceptional flexibility for owner-users, investors, hospitality operators, entertainment companies, production studios, luxury brands, or creative office users.
The building showcases exposed bow-truss ceilings, original brick walls, polished concrete floors, skylights, expansive open interiors, and a beautifully landscaped private courtyard that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor event space. Its authentic industrial character creates an atmosphere that would be extremely difficult—and expensive—to recreate today.
Unlike traditional industrial or creative office properties, 802 Mateo provides an opportunity to generate revenue through multiple complementary uses, including private events, brand activations, productions, photography, fashion events, experiential marketing, hospitality concepts, creative headquarters, and luxury showrooms, subject to applicable approvals.
Surrounded by the Arts District's renowned restaurants, galleries, breweries, creative office campuses, Soho House, AT Mateo, Warner Music, and countless hospitality destinations, the property sits at the epicenter of one of Southern California's fastest-growing creative and entertainment districts. Immediate access to Downtown Los Angeles, the Sixth Street Bridge, Little Tokyo, Union Station, Interstate 5, Interstate 10, and US-101 provides exceptional regional connectivity.
Whether acquired as a long-term investment, flagship headquarters, hospitality venue, production facility, or experiential commercial asset, 802 Mateo Street represents an increasingly scarce opportunity within one of Los Angeles' most supply-constrained urban markets.
