The Cultural Space Agency is a mission-driven, values-based cultural real estate development company chartered by the City of Seattle as a Public Development Authority (PDA). It is designed to secure long-term affordable commercial cultural space with community partners; to build community wealth through direct investment in real property; to create opportunities for ownership of commercial cultural space; and to partner with communities of color, with a particular focus on the needs of Black and Indigenous communities.
It has been designed by community stakeholders, has been the subject of a Racial Equity Toolkit, is supported by the directors of eleven City Offices and Departments, is led by a diverse group of stakeholders, and is significantly supported by the City of Seattle. Its launch is the culmination of the City’s nearly decade-long focus on addressing critical issues facing Seattle’s cultural spaces.
