    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 & Campus
    The 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 Residences
    Rising 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.

    About the Developer: Lendlease
    The visionary force behind Habitat is global real estate and investment group Lendlease (developed in partnership with equity partner Aware Super). With over 60 years of global placemaking experience, Lendlease is recognized for delivering transformative urban projects that generate lasting environmental and social value.

    The Berkeley Real Estate Alumni Association is pleased to invite you to join us for the 7th Annual BREAA Gala on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at the Four Seasons San Francisco.

    Each year, the BREAA Gala brings together alumni, faculty, students, and industry leaders for an evening celebrating the relationships, leadership, and shared experiences that unite generations of Berkeley real estate professionals. As our network continues to grow, the Gala remains our signature opportunity to reconnect with fellow Golden Bears, strengthen lasting relationships, and celebrate the people shaping the future of our industry.

    A visionary executive. A respected board leader. A lifelong champion of the Berkeley real estate community.

    For more than four decades, Connie Moore has shaped the commercial real estate industry through visionary leadership, unwavering integrity, and an enduring commitment to mentorship. As President and Chief Executive Officer of BRE Properties, she led one of the nation’s premier public real estate companies, while her board leadership with organizations including Healthcare Realty Trust, Columbia Property Trust, Tri Pointe Homes, and the Urban Land Institute has influenced the industry across California, Texas, and markets throughout the United States.

    A proud alumna of the Haas School of Business, Connie has remained deeply committed to Berkeley. She chaired the Fisher Center for Real Estate & Urban Economics Policy Advisory Board for more than twenty years and continues to serve on its Executive Committee, strengthening the connection between academia and industry while inspiring generations of future leaders.

    Her extraordinary career has been recognized with the NAREIT Industry Leadership Award, the Haas School of Business Lifetime Achievement Award, designation as a Lifetime Trustee of the Urban Land Institute, and an Honorary Doctorate from San José State University.

    Yet those who know Connie best speak first of her generosity as a mentor, her humility as a leader, and the lasting impact she has had on countless careers. Her legacy is measured not only by the organizations she has led, but by the people she has inspired.

    Join us as we celebrate Connie's extraordinary career and hear from the colleagues, friends, and industry leaders who know her best as they share the stories, relationships, and defining moments that shaped her remarkable career and enduring impact.

    Early Bird tickets are now on sale. A limited number of Early Bird tickets are available at this special introductory price.

    We look forward to welcoming you on October 1st, 2026 for another unforgettable evening celebrating the Berkeley Real Estate community.
