Sad news.
From what I've heard, this building (the Rehearsal Factory) is sold and all the musicians are now being evicted from their studios.
Its a major loss, as Rehearsal Factory's Front Street East location has also been recently lost. In that case, at least, the land will be utilized in a major housing development (33 Sherbourne). Here any trade-off will be, no doubt, much poorer.
It's not to say that there aren't other areas of the City that can accommodate this type of studio space (RF still has their Geary location). But it's hard to imagine it returning downtown.
