Combined Properties


Combined Properties is committed to reducing our impacts on the environment and supporting sustainable practices to better serve our tenants, community and future generations.

Combined Properties has initiated a Green Council to research, explore and implement sustainable initiatives throughout its existing portfolio and future developments. As part of its commitment, Combined Properties is fulfilling the Mission Statement above.

Our company has committed itself to the implementation of sustainable ‘best practices’ and specifically, to date, has implemented the following initiatives in its portfolio properties and developments:

  • Lincoln & Rose Shopping Center – Venice, CA: Sustainable components include a LEED qualified bio-swale/ filtration system to treat storm water run-off, LEED TI certification for Whole Foods (in process), native plantings, reduced site lighting, and additional shading to reduce the heat-island effect. Implemented a landscape plan to increase the total permeable area from 2.8% to 8%.
  • Foothill Ranch Towne Centre - Lake Forest, CA: Sustainable components include the inclusion of permeable concrete in the vast parking field to allow for the free passage of water through the pavement into the soil. Recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a storm water pollution prevention (SWPP) Best Management Practice device.
  • Portfolio: For portfolio properties, Combined Properties endeavors to utilize 'White Roofs' when any replacement is occurring. These surfaces help to reduce temperatures in urban “heat islands,” and reduce the need for air-conditioning, which in turn reduces the demand for electricity.
  • Sunset Time – West Hollywood, CA: The development project has been designed to exceed the strict requirements set forth in West Hollywood’s progressive Green Building Ordinance.  The use of natural lighting, natural ventilation, efficient mechanical systems, renewable building materials and green construction techniques ensure that the project will be a model for sustainable mixed use developments.
  • Portfolio: Our company has initiated a pilot program for its portfolio and tenants to aggregate and recycle Grease and Waste Vegetable Oil. In partnership with Greenlight Biofuels on the East Coast, we are able to provide a free oil collection service for restaurants and food service providers that is recycled and used in the production of biodiesel fuel.
