A longtime event venue in downtown Phoenix’s warehouse district is set to close this summer after years of hosting concerts, parties and weddings.

On Feb. 25, the owners of Warehouse215, the 28,000-square-foot space at Grant and Third streets, announced the venue’s closure in a post on social media.

“While we are saddened that we will no longer be able to share these moments with you, we are incredibly proud of what has been built here,” the announcement read in part. “Warehouse215 has always been about more than a building. It has been about people, purpose and possibility.”

An exact closing date was not specified. Warehouse215 stated it will stop hosting events beginning in July and will no longer offer venue rentals after that time.

An exact closing date was not specified. Warehouse215 stated it will stop hosting events beginning in July and will no longer offer venue rentals after that time.

Multiple events remain scheduled at Warehouse215 through late spring, including a gig by DJs Odd Mob on March 13 and Noizu on May 2. Fever is also promoting a series of candlelight concerts at the venue, including tributes to Coldplay and The Beatles on March 27 and 28.

Warehouse215’s owners didn’t provide a reason for the closure or state what will happen to the historic property after Warehouse215 shuts down. Calls to the venue by Phoenix New Times seeking comment on the matter were not immediately returned.

The building dates back more than a century. Constructed in 1918, it originally housed Phoenix Linen and Towel Supply before being repurposed decades later as part of downtown Phoenix’s warehouse district.

Warehouse215 opened in 2015 as an offshoot of the Phoenix contemporary art space Bentley Gallery, which operated next door from 2012 until 2025.

Inside, the venue blended industrial grit with modern event design. Exposed brick walls, steel beams and soaring ceilings gave the space a raw warehouse feel, while polished concrete floors, dramatic lighting and flexible staging areas allowed it to transform for concerts, DJ nights, weddings and other gatherings.

Over the past decade, Warehouse215 became a popular rental venue in the warehouse district, hosting everything from concerts and nightlife events to fundraisers and corporate gatherings. Alongside nearby spaces like Grant Street Studios and The Icehouse, it helped anchor the area’s arts and events scene.

Warehouse215 was also home to Arizona concert promoter Relentless Beats’ Warehouse Project show series, which brought DJs and producers such as Above & Beyond, Malaa, Kayzo and Deorro to the venue.
