Industrial character.Rebuilt from within.

The Dairy Building began as part of a working dairy operation on SE 8th Avenue. A substantial 2017 gut renovation rebuilt the main building from the inside out while keeping the scale, timber roof trusses, and character of its industrial shell.

Today, glass-fronted suites open onto skylit common spaces, and mezzanines give many workspaces a second level. There is room for focused office work, design studios, and hands-on businesses—with places to meet a client or take a call beyond your own suite.

Your suite is only part of it.

Keep a private place for your own work, with meeting rooms, gathering spaces, and the everyday infrastructure of a larger building around you.

01

Mezzanines & daylight

Many suites have mezzanines within the tall industrial volume, creating distinct zones for the workday. Exposed timber, skylights, and glass fronts make these spaces worth seeing in person.

02

Meet beyond your desk

Shared conference rooms, smaller huddle rooms, and enclosed call rooms give teams a place for client presentations, quick conversations, and calls outside their own workspace.

03

A kitchen & a common room

The shared kitchen and long communal table sit alongside skylit gathering and recreation spaces. An outdoor deck adds another place to take a break during the workday.

04

Parking, bikes & showers

Approximately 160 on-site parking spaces give teams and visitors options beyond the street. Indoor bike storage and shared shower facilities support a two-wheel commute, too.

05

Room for the practical work

Shared dock-high loading areas support deliveries and the movement of materials and finished goods. Discuss loading access, power, and any production requirements with the leasing team.

06

Modern from the inside out

The 2017 renovation brought a new roof and windows, new HVAC, plumbing, electrical and LED lighting, updated fire-safety and access-control systems, and seismic upgrades.

Suite layouts and features vary. Parking, loading arrangements, and suitability for a particular use are confirmed through the leasing process.

04 / Some of the businesses here

Cookies. Materials. Robotics. Ideas.

The mix is part of the place. Food producers work in the same building as design suppliers, engineers, and office teams. These are a few of the businesses that call the Dairy Building home.

05 / Find your space
