Greenpoint Gets a Creator Hub: The Lighthouse Opens in Kickstarter’s Former Office

The Lighthouse opened at 58 Kent Street in Greenpoint, transforming Kickstarter’s former office into a high-gloss, creator-focused hub that blends flex-office space with film and podcast studios. The multi-room setup includes soundproof recording booths, a camera-integrated kitchen, a library bar, and live-room tech, all designed to attract influencers, podcasters, and content creators who pay around $5,750 a year for memberships vetted by a select committee. The project is led by Jon Goss and Whalar Group, with Venice Beach as a sibling location, signaling a move toward professionalized, brand-backed creator workspaces that resemble a modern media studio more than a traditional office.

"Remarkable Transformation: Woman's $300,000 Renovation Revives Fairport Harbor Lighthouse"

Sheila Consaul purchased the Fairport Harbor West Lighthouse in Ohio through a government program in 2011 and has since spent around $300,000 renovating the historic property. The lighthouse, first lit in 1925, was in poor condition when Consaul acquired it, but she has restored it to livable conditions. The renovation process has included challenges such as limited access to utilities, the need to transport supplies by barge, and difficulty finding dedicated tradespeople. Despite setbacks, Consaul has transformed the lighthouse into a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, preserving its historical charm.

From Abandoned to Home: The Remarkable Transformation of a $71K Lighthouse

From Abandoned to Home: The Remarkable Transformation of a $71K Lighthouse

Sheila Consaul purchased an abandoned lighthouse in Ohio for $71,000 and has since spent over $300,000 renovating it into a livable home. The lighthouse, built in 1925, had been abandoned for over 70 years before Consaul became its first resident. The extensive renovations included adding an eat-in kitchen, rewiring electrical, plumbing, and refurbishing the wooden floors. Consaul relies on a combination of a gasoline-powered generator, solar power, and wind power as the lighthouse is completely off the grid. Despite going over budget, Consaul considers the project a great challenge and opportunity. She plans to continue offering private tours and renew her lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
