We invented, conceptualized, and coined the daylight-loft research model — and have run this room since 1994. A true creative research facility and production studio built to document your studies, with a drop-down wall and 15-foot one-way mirror that divides the room into observation and research areas, plus a mezzanine for additional client viewing.
Flexible seating, prep kitchen for catering, full multi-camera A/V recording. Carlos Montoya has designed and operated focus group A/V installations since 1992. One client at a time. Nothing leaves the room.
Union Square Loft began as a romance-novel reference photography and movie-poster studio and has evolved into a versatile, tech-customizable production and event space — on Broadway since 1994. The room carries the creative lineage of the photographers and producers who built it, among them the artist Addie Passen.
Led by Carlos Montoya — A/V specialist since 1992 and former TEDx Bushwick executive producer — the studio runs on decades of hands-on experience across the audiovisual field. Every session benefits from someone who has worked at the intersection of art, production, and community for over 30 years.
The positive, high energy environment in Union Square Loft is the ideal when conducting proper market research services. Carlos Montoya creates a unique, one of a kind experience for all his clients that can’t be found or replicated anywhere else.
Definitely an ideal destination for your next research project. The team is very professional and responsive, and the space is extremely versatile. Great value compared to traditional market research facilities.
We’ve used Union Square Loft for multiple productions and it’s become our go-to for clients looking for a professional, fully equipped space. The gear is top-notch and Carlos makes sure everything runs smoothly.
The real market research facility vibe with professional A/V support. We ran a series of focus groups here and everything was seamless — the one-way mirror, the catering setup, the tech. Highly recommend.
Used Union Square Loft for a corporate event. The sound system is incredible and the lighting completely transformed the space. Everything was included — no surprise charges.
Amazing space for podcasting. The mics and sound system are studio-quality, and Carlos knows audio inside and out. Our episodes sound noticeably better than anywhere else.
