Culdesac

It's easier to connect with one another when our cities are walkable and designed for people.

Life at Culdesac means vibrant courtyards, friendly neighbors, and easy connections to public transit. It's where community and convenience come together. That's what happens when you build for people.

Walkable neighborhoods are a much more productive and responsible land use than more parking spaces. That's why we built Culdesac Tempe with plenty of retail and open space instead of residential parking.

Walkable neighborhoods are ideal venues for connecting with the community.

Instead of adding traffic and road infrastructure costs like typical car-centric development, Culdesac adds amenities to the neighborhood and is a hub for community connection. This can happen everywhere when you focus on building for people.

How we designed desert-adaptive outdoor seating: 1. Intentional materials: Breeze-blocks, pavers, and white paint to reduce heat retention 2. Shade maximization: Trees, building orientation, and shade structures provide ample cover 3. Versatile seating: Easily movable to fit the season/weather and maximize comfort

The U.S. would have so much more room for housing & shops without excessive parking requirements. Culdesac is showing that it's possible to build successful mixed-use and climate-adapted housing without parking, even in sprawled cities.

It's amazing to see how far our neighborhood has come. Culdesac is now home to over 225 residents and 13 local businesses.

Mass transit makes cities better. That's why we work with Valley Metro to offer our residents free metro passes to get around conveniently without a car.
