The Gate Opens New World of Creative Space for Art, Tech, Maker Community
18-acre East Bay building transformed into art, tech, maker hub offering unique opportunities for today’s creative-commerce class
February 10, 2014 — San Leandro, California — When is a commercial building not just a commercial building? When it creates a disruptive, new definition for a place to work. In short: The Gate. Animated by the creative energy of its artists-in-residence, tech-startup visionaries, and makers of all stripes, The Gate is simply not like other commercial buildings. Well, it is, perhaps, reminiscent of such earlier, precedent-setting New York City landmarks as the iconic Brill Building, where, the art and business of music was turned on its ear, or The Factory, where Warhol and friends lived and breathed entirely new art forms. It also takes a digital page from Silicon Valley’s Xerox PARC and all those suburban garages, where things like mice and killer apps were invented and then went on to ignite—and change—the world.
