Elbo Room Will
Be Razed, Lease Expires November 1
We
spoke about this early last year,
the owners ( who we all know and love!!!) of the building at 645 Valencia
Street which is currently leased to the Elbo Room have been working on plans to raze the Mission district
venue and construct a five-story condo development with a bit of retail on the
ground floor in its place.
While many felt our report overstated the intent and seriousness of the plans, including Matt Shapiro, the operator of the Elbo Room who dismissively responded that the Elbo Room wasn’t closing “any time soon” and that the owners of the building weren’t serious about acting on the plans, the Elbo Room’s lease will terminate on November 1 and the owners are moving forward with their plans.
The news has reportedly left Mr. Shapiro “in shock” and scrambling to find a new venue for the club, but it’s news which shouldn’t have caught any plugged-in readers by surprise.
