OCVIBE, the 100-acre mixed-use district under development in Anaheim, announced that Kiln, a hospitality-driven coworking and flexible office operator, has committed to a full floor at The Weave, OCVIBE’s mass timber office building.
Kiln is scheduled to open at The Weave as part of OCVIBE’s first phase of development in 2027. The workspace will offer flexible workspace, team suites, private offices, meeting rooms and hospitality-focused gathering spaces designed to serve companies, entrepreneurs and professionals seeking a connected and experience-driven work environment in Southern California.
The agreement marks another milestone for OCVIBE as the district continues development into a mixed-use destination that combines workspaces, entertainment venues, hospitality, dining, parks and cultural programming within a walkable, transit-oriented environment in Orange County.
“OCVIBE is being developed as a first-of-its-kind, digitally connected mixed-use campus that brings together workplaces, residences, entertainment, dining, public space, and culture within a single, integrated environment,” said Scott Frick, Senior Vice President of Real Estate & District Operations at OCVIBE. “As we evaluated the future of work, and the evolving needs of employers, we conducted an extensive search for a coworking partner that could help define what the next generation of workplace experience should look like. Kiln stood out for its ability to blend flexibility, hospitality, community, and technology in a way that reflects where the market is headed. Their presence at The Weave helps advance our vision of creating a workplace ecosystem where people can seamlessly connect with the broader lifestyle experiences available throughout the OCVIBE district.”
Kiln, which was founded in Utah, serves more than 8,500 members across 3,300 companies through a network of communities throughout the Western United States. The company offers private offices, team studios, coworking memberships, meeting and event spaces and hospitality-focused amenities.
“Anaheim is home to a dynamic and creative business community which is on the cusp of a new era,” said Arian Lewis, CEO and Co-Founder of Kiln. “The combination of media, tech, and entertainment in this market is queuing up for a new kind of experience in the workplace. OCVIBE has a clear vision of this future and is making a serious investment in bringing it into the present. Kiln recognizes that true hospitality in the workplace is about transformation. Enabling individuals and teams to adapt and transform in a much more competitive market. We are confident that the product we are designing for this environment will be a leap forward for the members who join us.”
OCVIBE officials said Kiln’s addition further supports Anaheim’s growth as a destination that combines business, meetings, entertainment and hospitality.
“Kiln’s arrival at The Weave is another strong signal of where Anaheim is headed as a destination,” said Mike Waterman, President & CEO, Visit Anaheim. “We’re seeing increasing demand for environments that blend meetings, work, hospitality, entertainment, and culture into a more connected experience. Anaheim is uniquely positioned to deliver that at scale. As major developments continue to reshape the city, projects like OCVIBE help expand the kinds of experiences and opportunities available not only to visitors and meeting attendees, but also to the companies, entrepreneurs, and creative communities investing in Anaheim’s future.”
When the district opens its first phase in early 2027, OCVIBE will feature hospitality, culinary and flexible-use venues designed to accommodate corporate meetings, breakout sessions, gatherings, live entertainment and community programming. District officials said the environment surrounding The Weave will provide Kiln members and guests with direct access to entertainment, dining and cultural experiences throughout the development.
“This lease represents a significant milestone for The Weave and underscores the demand we are seeing for workplace environments that move beyond the traditional office model,” said John Harty, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield. “The Weave offers a boutique-scale workplace experience intentionally designed around how today’s leading employers attract, retain, and engage talent in an increasingly hybrid world. Combined with Kiln’s flexible workspace platform, companies and their teams will gain access to a workplace integrated within a 100-acre mixed-use campus that offers year-round access to dining, elevated hospitality, entertainment, and green open spaces. Backed by a long-term ownership structure with the resources and commitment to continually invest in and enhance the district, OCVIBE delivers a workplace experience unlike anything else currently available in Southern California.”
Located adjacent to Honda Center and within walking distance of ARTIC (Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center), The Weave is a 168,000-square-foot LEED Gold-designed office building featuring biophilic design, natural light, operable windows, open-air stairwells, private terraces and porches.
The six-story mass timber office building will provide direct access to Katella Commons, the district’s chef-driven market hall, the Katella and Cerritos garages, and OCVIBE’s growing collection of restaurants, entertainment venues, public art programming and 20 acres of parks and plazas.
According to OCVIBE, The Weave is intended to reflect the broader vision for the 100 acres surrounding Honda Center as the area is transformed into a mixed-use district.
The Weave is scheduled to welcome Kiln in 2027 following the opening of OCVIBE’s 5,000-person-capicity concert hall, Katella Commons and the first phase of the district’s public art program. Additional details regarding Kiln at The Weave, including leasing opportunities, programming and opening timelines, are expected to be announced later this year.
