Our Campus
Relax on the lawn, join in on Open Studios events, partner with us on programming, and build partnerships with the industries and individuals on our campus, all from the comfort of your space. All our Studio, Coworking, and Commercial tenants are part of the same Foreland ecosystem, which includes our newly launched Foreland Waterfront: a commercial promenade and cultural district nestled along Catskill Creek at the waterfront of our property.
While Foreland is a for-profit leasing model, we provide more than just space: tenants are the beneficiaries of our intermittent programming and operational systems, and commercial businesses can themselves welcome the thousands of visitors who venture to Foreland while exploring the Hudson Valley each year. Foreland looks to blend the natural beauty of our campus with the culture that tenants create within its walls.
