Join us on Thursday, August 20th at 5:30 PM for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Habitat, a groundbreaking, transit-oriented live-work-thrive campus where Culver City meets the heart of Los Angeles. After the tour, hang out with us for a Happy Hour at the 12th floor rooftop terrace.
The tour will be led directly by members of the development team. This tour will offer rare, firsthand insights into the master-planning, sustainable construction, and intricate financing structure of one of LA’s most ambitious new developments.
Habitat Workplace & CampusThe commercial core of the campus features a state-of-the-art, six-story creative office building spanning over 256,000 rentable square feet. Designed by the world-renowned SHoP Architects (with commercial interiors by A+I and executive architecture by Steinberg Hart), the workplace is engineered for next-level collaboration and environmental performance.
Focusing heavily on holistic wellbeing and biophilic design, the office component targets LEED Platinum and Fitwel certifications. The building is 100% all-electric, powered in part by an onsite 100kW solar array, and supported by premium end-of-trip facilities including secure bike storage and EV parking stations.
The Habitat ResidencesRising 12 stories adjacent to the commercial offices, Habitat Residences delivers a boutique, hospitality-inspired retreat of 260 luxury multifamily apartments. Comprising studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, the residential building centers around a rich array of wellness amenities, including an elevated pool deck facing the Baldwin Hills, a rooftop terrace, a creative co-working lounge, and curated pet amenities.
True to the campus’s commitment to sustainable urban density and equity, the residential tower targets LEED Gold certification and includes 22 deed-restricted very low-income units alongside 7 workforce housing units.
