The former Chase branch at 2500 Mission St. will become Hidden Frequency, an experimental music venue owned by Arcana’s Naz Khorram, with an entertainment permit filed June 18, 2026.

At the southeast corner of 21st and Mission, the former Chase branch has been dark since 2024. The awning still reads “Chase,” the ATMs are gone, and the door has stayed locked for nearly two years. This fall, the bank vault will give way to a listening room.

Hidden Frequency, an experimental music venue, will open at 2500 Mission St., the project of Naz Khorram, who owns Arcana—the wine bar and plant shop next door at 2512 Mission. Khorram filed an entertainment permit for the space on June 18, 2026, after months of searching for a location through the city’s Vacant to Vibrant program. The Chase branch, which closed after Khorram began looking, turned out to be the neighbor they’d overlooked.

The venue will host immersive listening sessions, electronic and experimental music, and live DJs, with a desert and sand dunes aesthetic. Khorram describes it as a cross between The Lab, Gray Area, and Envelop SF—a small, intimate room for audiophiles and late‑night sets. It will serve cocktails, wine, and beer, and collaborate with local visual artists.

The corner joins a block where 43 eviction notices have been filed in the last 90 days, and 2,317 311 requests logged in the past week—a stretch of Mission Street where storefronts turn over quietly. Khorram plans to keep Arcana’s Thursday live shows running while preparing Hidden Frequency for a fall opening.

“I see the community showing up for us day after day, week after week,” they told Mission Local. “I literally can’t wait to open the doors and start hosting people.”

By fall, the Chase lettering will be gone. What replaces it will be a frequency, not a balance.
