Concert venue Factory Town Interactive map of Factory Town Address 4800 NW 37th Avenue Hialeah, Florida United States Owner Avra Jain Field size 190,000-square-feet Construction Built 1946 Opened 2022 (2022) Website www.factorytown.com **Factory Town** is a [concert](/source/Concert) venue in [Hialeah, Florida](/source/Hialeah%2C_Florida), a suburb of [Miami](/source/Miami), located in an old abandoned factory. The venue is operated by Link Miami Rebels, which also owns and operates the nearby [Club Space](/source/Club_Space).[1] ## History Factory Town is located in the formerly abandoned and Dixie Bedding mattress factory which was built in 1946 and employed 200 people at one time and primarily worked as a contractor to the [United States Army](/source/United_States_Army) to provide bedding for troops.[2] Avra Jain bought the site in order to make the youth of Hialeah, who had been moving out of the city in large numbers, interested in staying.[3][2] She sought to provide a concert space in the [greater Miami](/source/Greater_Miami) region and to be a competitor to [Wynwood](/source/Wynwood).[2] Jain chose to retain most of the structural integrity of the factory for its industrial aesthetic but stripped away the roof to make the venue open air.[4] A large [kapok tree](/source/Ceiba_pentandra) in the middle of the site was retained to create an ecological garden.[4] Factory Town also has no master plan, allowing visiting acts to design the layout of the performance as they wish.[2] The venue would become part of the Leah Arts district, located between two [Tri-Rail](/source/Tri-Rail) stations.[5] ## Noise complaints Shortly after its inception, the neighboring city of [Miami Springs](/source/Miami_Springs) sued the venue for noise complaints.[2] However, Hialeah's city government has voiced strong support for the venue.[2] Miami Springs has described the venue and it's concerts as "nuisances" and "a significant annoyance" and claimed that there where 243 noise complaints claiming that residents "feared for their safety."[6] Miami Springs demanded Factory Town “abate all noise entering the [city]”.[7] However, since the venue is not located in Miami Springs, the city has instead sought legal action in [Miami-Dade County](/source/Miami-Dade_County) courts.[6] Jain claimed that she had never received any letter of complaint from Miami Springs, and first learned of their grievances when they filed suit against Factory Town.[7] Hialeah's mayor [Esteban “Steve” Bovo](/source/Esteban_Bovo) stated that he would address the concerns, but that he was also upset with neighboring municipalities "dictating what we can and can’t do in our city."[8] The lawsuit from Miami Springs was ultimately dismissed after Factory Town hired a [sound engineer](/source/Sound_engineer) and put in place measures to reduce the noise.[8] However, this has not stopped locals from complaining about the noise including those from Hialeah and [Brownsville](/source/Brownsville%2C_Florida).[8] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["From Greek Life to Nightlife Giants: A Sit-Down with Link..."](https://grayarea.co/magazine/from-greek-life-to-nightlife-giants-a-sit-down-with-link-miami-rebels-coloma-kaboomsky) *Gray Area*. 2024-02-28.
