Warehouse District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Warehouse District has been used for several urban neighborhoods across the United States that were formerly gritty industrial areas but have since experienced gentrification. The warehouses contained within the neighborhoods have often been converted to trendy nightclubs or high-priced apartments and condominiums.
