Creative Cluster Operator Manifesto
Core Values
We value more
- People-led places
- Flexible space & funding
- Rich, complementary tenant mix
- Shared, long-term value
- floor-area math alone
- fixed master-plans
- single-sector silos
- quick one-off wins
(The items on the right still matter; we simply choose the left first.)
Eight Guiding Principles
1. Purpose first
Every lease, upgrade, and event serves the site's clear mission.
2. Place complementary neighbours nearby
Sit a podcast studio next to an audio-hardware maker, or a UX agency near a coding bootcamp—proximity sparks serendipity.
3. Curate the mix
Blend creators, service firms, makers, media teams, and tech outfits—any combo that fuels useful overlap.
4. Run constant learning programmes
Short courses, demo nights, and peer mentoring keep skills circulating and fresh talent flowing in.
5. Build or reuse—whatever fits
Adapt an old shell or go greenfield; choose what balances cost, speed, and character.
6. Grow small, learn fast
Open one block, listen, tweak, repeat—no big-bang launches.
7. Track impact, not just income
Measure jobs created, prototypes launched, content produced, and community engagement alongside rental revenue.
8. Keep rules and money clear
One page of house guidelines, transparent rent tiers, and a quarterly check-in—enough to stay aligned, not stuck.
Promise to Developers
Hands-on activation
We staff, program, and steward daily life so the asset stays alive.
Risk reduction
Our curation and phased roll-out de-risk your investment.
Value lift
Continuous programming drives footfall, boosts ancillary spend, and raises long-term yield.
In short: the real estate sets the stage; we keep the show running.
