Green Street is a private members club located in downtown Los Angeles, specifically in the historic jewelry district. It caters exclusively to individuals in the cannabis industry. The club operates as a full-service creative agency.

The address of Green Street is 718 South Hill Street, which used to be a manufacturing building from the early 1900s. The building has been transformed into a modern, mixed-use cannabis hub spanning seven stories and covering 67,000 square feet. It serves as a hub for various tenants in the cannabis industry.

During the project, the main challenge was upgrading the mechanical and electrical systems to accommodate increased electricity consumption. Initially, only three levels of the building could be powered while the upgrades were being implemented. To overcome this challenge, we devised a strategy to adjust the project timeline in coordination with the owner, tenants, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP).

Once completed, the building will function as a professional and community hub for forwardthinking entrepreneurs dedicated to advancing the cannabis industry. Members of Green Street will enjoy access to four levels of communal and private office suites, a co-working space, a spa, a private performance bar, testing facilities, a rooftop lounge, a speakeasy, an art gallery, a cafe, a 240-seat restaurant, and retail space.
