3000 square feet of awesome studio space is available at Sharktown right now. Can be rented altogether for you and a bunch of friends or as a great office/small business space. For the right folks, can also be split up, as there are several smaller studio rooms surrounding a large shared space. Third floor, huge windows, freight elevator, communal kitchen and bath (with shower and laundry). Lofts for extra storage into Studios. Lots and lots of possibilities.
