Prime Santa Rosa Warehouse Location: The sprawling Santa Rosa, CA building that currently houses Rock Star University’s premiere, state of the art House of Rock venue and RSU Recording Studios is currently for sale at $4.7 million. The reasonable price includes all sound equipment, lighting, furnishings, fixtures and permits. For $4.3 million, the seller is willing to lease back the music venue at $1.15 per foot for three years, maintaining all improvements, including the sound, camera and recording equipment, furnishings and fixtures. At a price of $3.95 million, the seller will remove all sound, camera and recording equipment as well as lighting, furnishings and fixtures.
A Historic All-Star Performance Venue: A fully permitted, turnkey, intimate state of the art concert venue, soundstage and production facility, the House of Rock was built in 2016 as a home base to showcase teen rock sensations V Squared featuring the duo of twins Vittorio (guitar) and Vicenzo (drums) that was discovered at age 11 by legendary producer Ron Nevison—whose legendary classic rock resume includes The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Chicago and Heart. The band’s debut album We Are V-Squared swept the 24th Annual LA Music Awards in seven categories. In the years between its opening and the pandemic, V-squared opened for dozens of classic artists and rock bands, including Blue Oyster Cult, Quiet Riot, LA Guns, Dokken, The Tubes, Bret Michaels, Puddle of Mudd, Foghat, Enuff Znuff, Faster Pussycat, Gamma, Lita Ford, Slaughter and Winger.
House of Rock Amenities: Bands and fans both love Rock Star University’s House of Rock with its 1,000 square foot stage and catwalk, spectacular sound system, and full theatrical lighting with effects. There are also six cameras that feed two oversized video screens, which provide an up-close and personal VIP rock concert experience. The venue features the finest in industry standard equipment, beer and wine license, plenty of parking and can remain open nightly till 2 AM. To build the venue today, with all improvements, permits and top of the line audio, video and recording equipment would exceed $10 million. At a $4.7 million asking price, the building, venue and studio is a steal, and the seller would like to encourage the purchaser of the building to continue operation of the music venue and continue its storied legacy.
RSU Recording Studios: The Rock Star University recording facility was designed and constructed by Art Kelm, VP, General Manager and Chief Engineer of Capitol Records who is also CEO of the audio consulting firm Ground One AV, Inc. All of its equipment was selected and operated by Nevison, who produced five albums for V Squared, including Rock Show Girl, which features iconic rock covers by the then 15-year-old musicians.
