About
Brielle Milano founded Sense of Space with 13 years of Real Estate experience. She works as a thought partner with developers and brands to create destination shopping, dining, and immersive experiences. Throughout her career, Brielle has succeeded in aligning the commercial goals of landlords with the ethos of independent retail brands. Brielle focuses on highlighting the physical, cultural, and social identities that define each space to support the ongoing objectives of all partners involved.
Using a creative, and intentional process, Brielle is highly skilled in strategic planning, road mapping, and implementing design, leasing, and marketing strategies that align with the goals of each project. Her expertise lies in understanding how a space should be experienced by people, and she ensures that the development process is carried out with this in mind
Brielle started her career at CBRE and joined the Retail Brokerage team after participating in the Wheel Program. She then worked at Jamestown, where she led the re-development of the Creative Workshops, a 500,000 SF portfolio within the Industry City campus. Brielle also launched The Makers Guild, an immersive retail experience featuring over 20 artisans at Industry City. In recent years, Brielle was a key member of the Tishman Speyer team responsible for re-developing the retail at Rockefeller Center. As the Senior Director of Retail Leasing and then the Senior Director of Placemaking and Retail Partnerships, Brielle injected new energy and excitement into The Center by creating dynamic, experience-driven offerings through traditional and innovative built spaces and digital storytelling.
Brielle launched her own consultancy, Sense of Space, in early 2024. Her firm specializes in positioning assets as destination experiences at the intersection of commerce and culture.
