Real Estate
Culdesac is a real estate developer and property management company that was founded with the goal of reimagining American cities to be built for people, not cars. In 2023, Culdesac opened its first neighborhood project in Tempe, Arizona, launching the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the United States. Tempe, a suburb in the Phoenix metropolitan area, is known for its desert climate and as the home of Arizona State University. By 2025, it aims to complete the site and house 1K people. Culdesac envisions new neighborhoods designed around mobility that respond to the challenges of congestion, loneliness, traffic fatalities, and global warming.
