Skylight is a placemaking and venue development group that unites distinct real estate and global brands to create cultural centers. We are urban archaeologists revitalizing spaces through the art of gathering.
From forgotten transportation hubs to Manhattan penthouses to downsized manufacturing plants, we see what once was and what might be. Drawing a site’s history and possibility together into a singular vision, we strategically unite property owners, creators, neighbors, and city and community leaders under shared goals.
We bike and walk down grand avenues, through industrial parks, and along abandoned waterways to the corners of our built environment where good bones lay buried. Then we bring them to life with the imaginations of innovators, brand storytellers, and filmmakers. In the process, we cultivate places for human connection.
Founded and built by lovers of history, literature and art, Skylight has been transforming challenge into value since 2008. Countless partners—from mom-and-pop landlords to the world’s largest developers—and a dozen cities later, we continue to create environments to meet the needs of a new generation of collaborators.
