Kiln to Anchor Hospitality-Driven Flexible Workspace and Community Hub in The Weave at OCVIBE

Kiln, a hospitality-focused flexible office operator, has signed a lease for a full floor at The Weave, a mass timber office building within Anaheim’s 100-acre OCVIBE mixed-use district. Scheduled to open in 2027, the new location will offer a mix of private offices, team suites, and meeting rooms designed to serve a growing community of tech and media professionals in Southern California. This partnership highlights the increasing integration of flexible workspaces into large-scale, transit-oriented developments that prioritize lifestyle and entertainment amenities.

Kiln’s commitment to The Weave marks a significant expansion for the Utah-founded operator, which currently serves over 8,500 members across the Western U.S. The new facility will occupy a full floor of the 168,000-square-foot, LEED Gold-designed building, featuring biophilic design elements, operable windows, and private terraces. The space is intended to provide a hospitality-forward environment, combining traditional coworking memberships with specialized team studios and event spaces to accommodate the evolving needs of modern hybrid workforces.

According to OCVIBE Senior Vice President Scott Frick, the selection of Kiln followed an extensive search for a partner capable of blending technology and community within a digitally connected campus. Kiln CEO and Co-Founder Arian Lewis noted that the Anaheim market is uniquely positioned for this type of transformation due to its high concentration of media, tech, and entertainment businesses. The project is situated adjacent to the Honda Center and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), reinforcing the district’s role as a walkable, transit-oriented hub for both local professionals and visitors.

The inclusion of flexible workspace is a core component of OCVIBE’s first phase, which also includes a 5,000-capacity concert hall and a chef-driven market hall called Katella Commons. John Harty of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented OCVIBE in the transaction, emphasized that the lease reflects a broader shift toward boutique-scale workplace environments that help employers attract talent through integrated lifestyle offerings. By embedding Kiln within a 100-acre ecosystem of parks, dining, and cultural programming, the development aims to move beyond the traditional office model to create a "meet + work + experience" destination.
