From Soundstages to Skylines: The Luxury Collective Comes Home to L.A. The Luxury Collective Global Advisory Opens Beverly Hills Office, Expanding Cross-Border Reach Across Los Angeles, New York and London The Luxury Collective Global Advisory (TLCGA), an international luxury real estate advisory serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, has opened a new office in Beverly Hills, marking its fourth global market alongside Washington, D.C., New York and London. Operating under the Compass Beverly Hills banner and as a member of the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division — which recorded $12.2 billion in sales volume in 2025 — the expansion strengthens TLCGA's advisory platform for clients whose real estate holdings and careers span multiple international markets, particularly within the entertainment, sports and creative industries. Leading the new office is Managing Partner John Eric, a Los Angeles native returning home after building his advisory career in Washington, D.C. and London, where he also serves as Director of the firm's UK subsidiary, The Luxury Collective UK. The move comes as Los Angeles, New York and London see increasing movement of productions, capital and talent between them — Los Angeles remains the top global hub for scripted content, the UK's share of the global market is growing faster than any other major territory, and New York has become the only major U.S. market to fully recover to pre-2023 production spending levels. With the Beverly Hills office, TLCGA offers clients a single, coordinated advisory team across all four markets, supporting acquisitions, dispositions, relocations and investment strategies with continuity and discretion. The firm is affiliated with Compass in the U.S. and operates independently in the UK through TLCUK, giving clients unified access to Prime Central London, the Home Counties, the Cotswolds, and major U.S. luxury markets through one advisory relationship.
Managing Partner John Eric, a Los Angeles Native and Director of TLCUK, Returns Home to Lead Firm's Fourth Global Market
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. and LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Los Angeles remains the world's leading hub for film and television production, accounting for 18.3% of all scripted releases in 2025. During the same period, the United Kingdom's share of the global scripted content market grew from 6.6% to 8.8% year-over-year, representing the fastest growth among major territories. As capital, productions and talent increasingly move between Los Angeles, New York and London, The Luxury Collective Global Advisory (TLCGA) has announced the opening of its Beverly Hills office.
TLCGA, an international luxury real estate advisory serving high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients, will now operate across four global markets, joining established offices in Washington, D.C., New York and London.
Operating under the Compass Beverly Hills banner and as a member of the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division — a national network of real estate specialists that recorded $12.2 billion in sales volume in 2025 across 951 athlete and entertainer transactions — the new office strengthens TLCGA's cross-border advisory platform for clients whose real estate portfolios, business interests and personal lives span multiple international markets.
Through its membership in the Division, TLCGA also extends access to its London-based operations through The Luxury Collective UK (TLCUK), the firm's wholly owned subsidiary, where TLCGA Managing Partner John Eric serves as Director. This connection provides clients with access to Prime Central London, the Home Counties, the Cotswolds and broader European markets through a coordinated advisory relationship. TLCGA specializes in serving executives, entrepreneurs, family offices, diplomats, government leaders, and clients across the sports, entertainment and creative industries.
The Los Angeles expansion represents both a strategic milestone and a homecoming for Managing Partner John Eric. Raised in Los Angeles, Eric spent his childhood visiting NBC soundstages with his best friend, an early connection to an entertainment industry that would remain a defining part of his professional life. He later built his international advisory career in Washington, D.C. and London, advising diplomats, government leaders and UHNW families on complex real estate matters spanning multiple jurisdictions.
"Los Angeles is where I grew up, and it has always been one of the most important markets for our clients," said Eric. "Many of them move constantly between Los Angeles, New York and London for productions, business opportunities and family. Establishing a permanent presence here allows us to provide the same team and continuity of service in Los Angeles that our clients already rely on across Washington, New York and London."
Unlike traditional city-by-city brokerage models, TLCGA operates as an integrated international advisory firm. Clients work with a consistent advisory team across Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York and London, providing continuity for acquisitions, dispositions, relocations and investment strategies across multiple jurisdictions. The firm also coordinates with a network of tax advisors, legal professionals, property managers and wealth advisors to support international clients navigating the complexities of cross-border ownership.
"John's ability to lead across every market is what creates true continuity for our clients, whether they are transacting in the United States or the United Kingdom," said Ailsa von Dobeneck, Managing Director of TLCUK. "Our teams work seamlessly across the Atlantic, allowing clients to access global expertise through one trusted advisory relationship."
TLCGA's global coordination is overseen by Chief of Staff Rikka Johnson, a veteran of the ultra-high-net-worth hospitality and luxury brands industry, who manages operations across TLCGA's locations and advisory teams.
The firm's U.S. operations are anchored in the Washington metropolitan region, where the firm advises HNW and UHNW individuals, diplomats, family offices and professionals across government, sports and entertainment. In the United Kingdom, the firm operates through TLCUK, a wholly owned subsidiary of TLCGA and an independent estate agency registered in England and Wales. Eric serves as Director, while von Dobeneck oversees day-to-day UK operations.
TLCUK specializes in advising buyers and sellers across Prime Central London, the Home Counties and the Cotswolds, a region often described as "the Hamptons of the UK" due to its appeal among affluent British and American families. Because Compass operates exclusively within the United States, TLCUK remains independent of the Compass brand. Its connection to the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division is through Eric's leadership roles as a Division member in the U.S. and Director of TLCUK in London, providing clients with a dedicated point of contact for UK and European real estate needs.
The expansion reflects a broader transformation within the global entertainment economy. The UK film and television sector contributed a record £6.8 billion to the economy in 2025, with Hollywood studios accounting for £2.8 billion of production spend. Meanwhile, New York experienced renewed growth, with tri-state production spending increasing 21% in 2025, making it the only major U.S. market to fully recover to pre-2023 production levels, according to CBRE research.
As productions, streaming platforms, investment and global talent increasingly move among Los Angeles, New York and London, executives, creators and investors are seeking real estate strategies that reflect increasingly international careers and lifestyles.
As part of the Compass Sports and Entertainment Division, TLCGA provides specialized resources and industry relationships for clients whose careers require mobility, discretion and access to luxury real estate across multiple markets. Confidentiality remains central to the firm's advisory model, with an emphasis on private transactions, long-term relationships and discreet transaction management designed to protect client privacy throughout every stage of the buying, selling and relocation process.
