ounded in 2009, Brooklyn Creative League was one of the first coworking spaces to open in the United States, and the original Brooklyn coworking space. Founded by the husband-and-wife team of Erin Carney and Neil Carlson, BCL earned a reputation as a top-notch coworking space with a uniquely welcoming and tightly-knit community of members. We expanded our Gowanus location in 2010, a year after opening, and filled the entire space by the time we opened. We expanded again in 2015, with the same result. Our steady, disciplined growth has allowed us to build an extraordinary space and authentic professional community while also providing great service to our members, great jobs for our employees, and support for local charities and mission-driven investments.
