PORT in this case stands for People of Remarkable Talent. PORT Commune is hence a space where the owners of the place have brought several remarkable creative talents and housed them in a factory warehouse. The warehouse that PORT Commune now occupies was built in the late 1950s or early 1960s and is located in what was once, one of the main industrial areas in Malaysia with Nestle & Dumex having their manufacturing plants nearby. PORT Commune therefore occupies a piece of commercial history & the warehouse is now making its mark as an event space creating new history.
