Lower Level Studio Spaces
The Belle Tower’s lower level offers a limited number of private studios and offices for artists, practitioners, and small mission-aligned businesses seeking affordable space in a historic downtown building.
These studios are part of an active restoration project. Tenants who join during this phase receive founding rates in recognition of flexibility and shared stewardship, with rates adjusted as improvements are completed.
This is an opportunity to grow your work in a meaningful place—while helping bring a historic building back into daily community use.

Restoration Phase Rates
During months when construction affects access, noise levels, or amenities, studios are offered at introductory founding rates (approximately 20–30% below standard rent).
Once construction impacting the lower level is complete, rents return to standard monthly rates with advance notice.
This model allows tenants to:
-
Secure space early at a reduced cost
-
Build continuity and roots in the building
-
Transition smoothly into long-term tenancy

Who This Is For
We’re especially interested in tenants who value:
-
Creative or professional independence
-
Quiet, focused workspace
-
Community presence over high foot traffic
-
Being part of a place with history and purpose
Retail storefront use and high-traffic public uses are not a fit for this level at this time.

Availability
Studios are limited and initially offered on a month-to-month or short-term basis, with priority given to tenants interested in staying long-term once restoration is complete.
