Empire turns two

A full house beneath crystal chandeliers and the American flag at Empire’s anniversary celebration

Two years after opening on Bishop Lane, Empire celebrated with a full day and night.

The afternoon started in the Loft, where member businesses took the podium to talk about what they’re building, to a room of members and guests. As the sun went down, the rooftop terrace filled up, a saxophonist played the lounge, and a petting zoo of sheep, goats and a llama set up shop.

By evening the chandelier hall was standing room only, with a DJ under the anniversary sign until late.

Thank you to every member, sponsor and guest who has made the first two years. Want to be part of year three? Book a tour.
