the building

The OPO is a two-story, 10,000 SF former post office and mail sorting facility .  There are a dozen distinct spaces organized in a pentagonal plan around an entry lobby and expansive, double-height mail sorting room. In its current condition, the OPO is a raw warehouse space with exposed plaster and concrete, layers and layers of paint, and great light. Some select spaces have been renovated to facilitate more specific uses.  Portions of the building are heated during winter but the primary double height spaces are unconditioned.  Electrical service was recently upgraded and modernized throughout of the building.
