We are real estate people, but at heart, we are creative people, too. And Creative Space was conceived to uniquely cater to the needs of both—bringing inspired and unconventional real estate solutions to innovative companies.
In the book A Whole New Mind, author Daniel Pink reveals how we've progressed "from farmers to a society of factory workers to a society of knowledge workers. And now we're progressing yet again—to a society of creators and empathizers, of pattern recognizers and meaning makers."
We love being part of this progression. And understanding that creative companies demand different things from a working environment inspires and challenges us daily. Creative Space goes beyond typical property services, bridging the gap between creative companies and the owners of the most innovative real estate in the marketplace. Today, space is no longer just practical or logistical—it has the power to increase output, extend brands, and break new ground.
Carle Pierose
Having originally been on an advertising track at TBWA\Chiat\Day, Carle Pierose realized that it wasn't so much the advertising trade he was captivated by as it was the creative environment where it all took place, like the award-winning "advertising city" he fondly remembers working in. After finishing at the University of Southern California, Pierose joined the Charles Dunn Company and focused on creative office and retail leasing and sales. It wasn't long before he recognized that many of the same brand-building concepts that support advertising can be implemented in the commercial real estate world—from marketing available properties with a compelling message to pairing a company's brand-development goals with just the right space to realize them. As a native of Los Angeles, Pierose has an intimate knowledge of the city (people say he'd make a great cab driver), and he's represented tenants and landlords in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Downtown, Beverly Hills, Culver City, the Valley and everywhere in between. With Creative Space, Pierose has taken his specialty—representing creative tenants and landlords—and made it his passion.
Tyler Stonebreaker
After receiving both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Southern California, Tyler Stonebreaker began his real estate path at the giant firm Lend Lease, then side-by-side with Don Russell; he eventually became a partner at 7th Street Development. During this time, Stonebreaker developed and managed over 2 million square feet of commercial space.
After assembling the education, experience, and relationships that the real estate community long ago dubbed the "keys to the kingdom," Stonebreaker realized there were far too many old conventions in the industry. And in order to do something unique in real estate, he would have to start from scratch.
As a life-long admirer of compelling architecture and a friend of many of L.A.'s most talented creatives, he knew there was an opportunity to do something different within the very traditional commercial real estate paradigm—Creative Space is the result.

A region for the creative culture.
Think of it: nearly one million professionally creative people in one of the most diverse metropolises on the planet. Longtime home to culture-exporting entertainment and tourism industries, Los Angeles has not only grown into one of the largest creative talent pools in the world but it has evolved into its own creative culture and brand. LA is unique because of its combination of place, resources, and enthusiasm towards new ideas. From Downtown to the ocean, in clusters such as the Hollywood Media District, the Santa Monica Light Manufacturing Studio District, and the Culver City Hayden Tract, as well as in individual projects and campuses throughout the area, LA thrives on a new creative mindset, energy, and attitude. Los Angeles and its unique and varied cities and neighborhoods have some of the most dynamic real estate offerings in the world. Just ask. We'll show you.
We believe that space can inspire creativity. And we enjoy few things more than providing solutions for exciting, uncommon endeavors. We know that first and foremost we are listeners. Many of our clients are not just doing things in new ways, but doing completely new things, period. So, it's vital that we first understand their unique needs, desires, and objectives. We then apply a multi-disciplinary approach, maintaining a balance between technical ability and artistic understanding. On a continuing basis, we empower our clients to make smart real estate decisions and implement the same by providing an experience that allows them to do what they do best—create. Our clients' space is one of the most prolific extensions of their brand both externally and internally, and it is our part to manage this extremely valuable asset for them.
Relationships are more than just connections.
It's the people that transform space into something much more than just square footage. That's why we developed our Strategic Partner Collaborative, through which we work with a select group of expert contractors, consultants, designers, and vendors, and with them transcend the traditional one-dimensional real estate model. We've carefully and deliberately sought out and nurtured relationships with the very best local and national talent, and we look to them to add value to our clients' spaces, brands, and projects. In the beginning, our company was conceived as a result of discussions with friends in creative industries. We began by asking them what they wanted from their real estate and from us as service providers. As we continue to grow we value their input and source them for insight that just can't be obtained from publications or other secondary sources. We go beyond simply relying on electronic data sources for commercial real estate such as CoStar and LoopNet, and utilize and mine a multitude of sources—both traditional and non-traditional—and are constantly maintaining and adding to our Creative Space Inventory. This proprietary database of properties is one of our most valued resources—and we bring that value directly to our clients.
