Roulston House: A Pillar of Culture, Creativity, and Community
In the heart of Gowanus, Brooklyn, an industrial relic from the past has become the centerpiece of a creative revolution. Roulston House—a 250,000-square-foot former factory—now thrives as a hub for innovation, artistry, and culture. But its success story is more than a renovation; it’s a testament to vision. REQCE Commercial didn’t just repurpose a building—we built a market where one didn’t exist.
When REQCE stepped in, Gowanus wasn’t a prime office destination. It was a secondary market, overlooked and underdeveloped. But with a commitment to transformation, REQCE reimagined this industrial space into a premier creative office environment, attracting industry leaders and trailblazers.
Roulson House is home to a vibrant mix of tenants, each adding to the building’s dynamic energy:
Mother Industries: The renowned creative agency made headlines by signing one of the largest office leases in Brooklyn, choosing Roulston House as its headquarters for bold ideas and artistic expression.
Tesla: A symbol of innovation, Tesla secured another record-breaking lease, establishing Roulston House as a beacon for cutting-edge technology and sustainable solutions.
Playwell Brooklyn: A hub for community creativity, offering workshops and interactive experiences that connect people through play and learning.

LES Collection: Curators of rare and collectible design pieces, turning their space into a gallery of style and sophistication.
Honey and Wax Booksellers: Champions of literary culture, where rare books and the written word are celebrated.
Three Four Two Productions: Storytellers through film and media, creating compelling narratives from their creative studio.
Gowanus Golf Club: A unique, indoor golf experience that brings sport and social connection together.
Tann Services: Innovators offering vital business services that keep operations running smoothly.

Roulston House is more than a collection of tenants—it stands on three pillars:
Culture: Michelin-starred restaurants, live music venues, and nightlife surround the building, making it a magnet for influential and creative minds.
Creativity: Every space within Roulston House is designed for modern innovators, where cutting-edge companies can thrive.
Community: Collaboration is in the building’s DNA—a place where businesses connect, create, and succeed together.
Roulston House’s transformation is a success story—one of bold vision and determination. REQCE Commercial didn’t follow the market; they built it. And while many spaces are now occupied, opportunities remain. The next chapter of this success story could be yours. See available spaces here.
