KALW began transforming the top two floors of Warfield Commons into its new headquarters, serving as the anchor tenant at an arts and media hub operated in collaboration with Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST). CAST purchased the 48,300-square-foot building at 988 Market Street for $7.3 million to revive the Warfield as a center for collaboration, production, and creative operations. KALW's two floors total 11,000 square feet and will house broadcast studios, offices, classrooms, and training spaces. The Warfield Commons hosted an open house and the public was invited to preview the space before renovations. Psyched Radio and CAST offices already occupy space, and the building has hosted arts events including Unstaged and Market Street Arts programming. Visitors can experience Warfield Commons during Unstaged Third Thursdays on Mid-Market.
KALW has officially begun transforming the top two floors of the new Warfield Commons into its new HQ. The station will serve as the anchor tenant at the revolutionary new arts and media hub in collaboration with Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST). As SFist reported in February, CAST purchased the 48,300-square-foot building at 988 Market Street for $7.3 million with the aim of bringing the Warfield back to life as a place for collaboration, production, and creative operations, per CAST's website.
The Warfield Commons had an open house last weekend, and KALW officially moved in, inviting the public to catch a glimpse of the station's new space before renovations begin. As Broke-Ass Stuart reports, Psyched Radio has already settled into its space, and the building has been activated with a variety of arts and cultural events in recent months, including Unstaged and other Market Street Arts events.
According to CAST's website, KALW's two floors make up 11,000 square feet for housing the station's new headquarters, including broadcast studios, offices, classrooms, and training spaces. KALW also has a pop-up event space at 220 Montgomery Street in the Financial District, which SFist recently visited. CAST's offices will occupy one floor of the building, which will also house meeting and collaboration spaces for artists and nonprofits.
