Zac Cort – Ten Space Developement
OUR MISSION AT TEN|SPACE
IS TO RESTORE THE CORES
OF OUR CITIES.
Ten|Space is at the forefront of a new type of real estate development. By combining investment in real estate with investment in people and local economies, we craft complete-community building strategies. Ten|Space reinvigorates existing urban areas by creating pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with retail, entertainment and commerce where individuals can live and work. By deploying sustainable building practices through the rehabilitation of existing structures and construction of new mixed-uses buildings, Ten|Space transforms and enlivens neighborhoods from the ground up. It is from this investment in people and place that Ten|Space derives it’s community driven, people-centric real estate development philosophy and approach.
CITIES REIMAGINED
Cities across the United States as well as globally, are experiencing tremendous growth and investment in their downtowns and existing neighborhoods. The movement to reverse decades of car centric planning and suburban sprawl is well underway. These efforts are much needed as we move towards a lifestyle of walking, biking and enhanced transportation options and away from car dependency.
AMERICA’S DOWNTOWNS WERE THE CENTERS OF RETAIL, LIVING, AND SOCIAL LIFE — WHAT HAPPENED?
Since the mid 20th century, the proliferation of the automobile and the explosive growth of the highway system enabled workers to commute to and from their downtown offices and sprawling, suburban homes with ease, diminishing the benefits of living in the core of the city. Coupled with the disinvestment of numerous industries from city centers, we experienced a major decline in America’s Main Streets. Small businesses also vacated the city center while big box shopping centers sprung up near freeway exits and expansive, car dominated roads.

LOCAL ECONOMY STIMULATORS
We promote and support the creation of locally owned and established business ranging from cafes, boutiques, galleries, bars, and restaurants to industries such as entrepreneurship, technology, artisanal producers and local makers.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN EXCELLENCE
Ten|Space works with local residents to assemble the building blocks of a community. Many times, the essential pillars of community already exist, but it takes a concerted effort to tie them together. Through the development of buildings and places as well as the investment of time and resources into advancing community well-being, we craft complete, vibrant neighborhoods from the ground up.
