Our History
The Cannery's rich history dates back to the 1960s, when it served as the warehouse space for the American Can Company. After the company's closure, the site remained dormant until Pel Hughes Companies purchased the property in 1997. Through a meticulous renovation process, Pel Hughes Companies transformed the space into the luxurious and modern venue we know today.
