Get ready for a cultural revolution brewing right in the heart of San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood. The Warfield Commons is here to transform the local arts landscape, and trust us, it’s not your grandma’s community center.

A New Creative Playground Emerges

Public radio station KALW has swooped in and claimed the top two floors of this 48,300-square-foot building, turning it into a creative powerhouse. Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST) purchased the space for a cool $7.3 million, with dreams of breathing new life into what was once just another bland office building.

More Than Just Radio Waves

This isn’t just about KALW setting up shop. DIY radio station Psyched Radio has already nestled into the space, and the building is buzzing with arts and cultural events that are making Mid-Market feel alive again. Guillermo Goyri from Psyched Radio is hyped about potential collaborations, proving this space is all about community and creativity.

A Cultural Ecosystem Reborn

Steve Gibson from the Mid-Market Foundation puts it perfectly: arts and culture aren’t just part of the neighborhood’s history - they’re the key to its future. With 11,000 square feet dedicated to broadcast studios, offices, classrooms, and training spaces, Warfield Commons is set to become a beacon for local creatives and independent journalists.

The future looks bright, loud, and unapologetically artistic - right here in the heart of SF.
