In late 2006, The Armory was purchased for $14.5 million by Kink.com, a San Francisco-based internet pornography producer specializing in BDSM pornography.[22][23] The company used the building as a studio for production of content for their websites, and began filming in 2007.[24] Peter Acworth, the company's owner, stated that the structure suited the needs of the company very well without need for significant structural modifications to the building, and that the company would begin repairs to the decaying structure.[23] It was also announced that Kink.com planned at some point in the future to rent out studio space for film production of all kinds within The Armory.[11][20][22][25]
The sale was not announced until January 2007 as a result of a non-disclosure agreement with the previous owner.[25] The sale drew a mixed response from the San Francisco community. Many people welcomed this use of The Armory as a way of revitalizing the structure and bringing back business to the area without altering the appearance of the historic building, as well as being in keeping with San Francisco's tradition of accommodating sexual minorities.[26] Others were disturbed that a pornography studio would be located in the middle of a residential neighborhood near schools, or were opposed to the abandonment of plans for low-income housing at the site, as well as the lack of community input into this use of The Armory.[26][27][28]
