850 N Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs — former Arthur Elrod studio

Place has a story. We tell it.

What is Open + Range?

Open + Range is Clozing CRE's Brand-to-Space practice — a framework for matching the right brands, makers, and cultural operators to the right commercial spaces.

We don't just lease space. We think about who belongs in it, what story they tell, and why that matters to the property and the corridor it sits on.

Rooted in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Operating since 2026.

Commercial Space Activation

We activate underutilized commercial properties with programming, pop-ups, and brand partnerships — creating proof-of-concept tenancies that de-risk leasing decisions and generate market heat.

Range

Visual Art + Design Exhibition

Range brings curated visual art and design programming into commercial spaces, positioning properties within the cultural life of the Coachella Valley and attracting design-forward tenants.

What the Elrod Studio tells us about commercial space in Palm Springs

A 1968 building doesn't become architecturally significant by accident. It becomes significant because someone understood that the space itself was the message.

Brand-to-Space Matching: why the tenant matters as much as the lease terms

A landlord thinks in terms of income. A good landlord thinks in terms of tenants. A great landlord thinks in terms of the story the building tells when the right tenant is in it.

Market

Culture and commerce in the Coachella Valley: what the next five years look like

Palm Springs isn't a secondary market anymore. The question is what kind of primary market it wants to be — and which buildings get to define that answer.

Hospitality Amenities Program
Bespoke amenity lines,
built from place.
We design and supply custom-branded amenity programs for hospitality properties across the Coachella Valley — hotels, boutique resorts, short-term rentals, and branded residences. Every line is rooted in the property's specific story, location, and guest. We can create bespoke product suites from scratch, or activate an existing brand like Ghost Town Ranch as the amenity layer.

The Elrod
A line built from the language of the Uptown Design District — mid-century restraint, desert materiality, the sensibility of a space that dressed Walt Disney and Frank Sinatra. Bold. Minimal. Rooted.

We work with building owners across N Palm Canyon and the Uptown Design District.

850 N Palm Canyon is available for lease now. We are activating it this fall to introduce it to the neighborhood, generate press coverage, and find the right long-term tenant. If you own or manage commercial space on the corridor — vacant, underleased, or ready for a new direction — reach out. That's exactly what we do.

Activations lead to leases. Programming leads to tenants. Culture leads to commerce.
