BLANKSPACES: has returned to downtown Santa Monica at 929 Colorado Ave, less than a year after relocating from its 13-year home at 1450 2nd St—the location that helped launch Silicon Beach in 2011. At that time, there were 12 other coworking spaces, incubators, and accelerators – in fact, 36% of LA startups were located in Santa Monica by 2014. After sitting vacant for 3 years, this iconic 25k sf space (where President Obama visited during a national startup tour) was purchased by Dan Negari in a series of acquisitions that also included a $80M 3rd St Promenade portfolio to revitalize downtown Santa Monica. Unlike Cross Campus, which occupied part of the space, BLANKSPACES now uses the full 25k sf. BLANKSPACES Santa Monica boasts two event spaces, 5 meeting rooms, and dozens of offices for 1-20+ desks. BLANKSPACES is piloting 9 privacy pods across 5 locations, with plans to activate dozens of retail spaces offering on-demand and advance reservations to meet the growing remote and flexible-work market.
