Our Madison Square (MSQ) House is situated in New York’s iconic Flatiron District, was previously home for Tepper Galleries, a well-known Manhattan auction house for international artists and collectors in the 1930s – and neighbors the 69th Regiment Armory where the first International Exhibition of Modern Art was held.

Our Hollywood House (HWD), which sits on Sunset Boulevard, is one of LA’s most celebrated buildings and occupies the original CBS Studio (the world’s first structure built intentionally for broadcast).

Here genre
– defining artists from Orson Wells and Lucille Ball to Janis Joplin, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan built their legacy.

Our Bradbury House (BB) sits within the Bradbury building in DTLA.

Built in 1893, the Bradbury Building is an architectural masterpiece and one of Los Angeles’ most historic landmarks.

It has been heralded as one of the most thrilling spaces in all North America and is renowned for its breathtaking skylit atrium filled with walkways, stairs, balconies, and intricate ironwork.

These properties are complimented by forthcoming houses in Venice Beach, and Miami, as well as proposed European locations.

Regardless of locale, and by deliberate design, all our environment and teams support, nurture and connect the NeueHouse community in reaching their creative potential.
