We take the weight off the shoulders of our partners. We guide projects from A to Z – from the initial sketches to the final outcome. We handle the permits and contracts, provide the right tenants, ensure safety, and prevent any disturbances.
We always link creative placemaking to a solid business case. We invest in the renovation and maintenance of properties, ensuring a steady stream of rental income. This transforms a vacant real estate asset from a business expense into a source of revenue.
Creative placemaking injects new energy. Underprivileged neighborhoods and old industrial areas are transformed into places where people want to gather. As interest in an area grows, so does the value of the property. Research shows that this approach leads to an additional value increase of 5 to 10 percent.
Creative placemaking enhances the social and community structure of a neighborhood or area. By utilizing unused square meters, it brings life and perspective. This increases livability, along with all the positive effects it has on the city and its residents.
Art is a common thread running through our locations. When you make art an integral part of a concept, it enriches the visitor experience. This contributes to the uniqueness and appeal of a place. Space & Mertens also provides advice on integrating art into spaces and sites.
