Our Stories

Place matters when its story is told

Culture, Canvas and Conversation

EDENS places are rich with stories— from our own team, from retailers and restaurateurs, from the artists who infuse our properties with life, color and originality.

We lead with our people, who create our culture. Places are the canvas in which we design and curate meaningful experiences. We engage through conversation: a compelling collection of visuals, words and creative intellect.

Go Green

Though we are 100% carbon neutral at all EDENS’ public spaces, we are still committed to doing even more for our people, places and planet. As stewards of our communities, we are responsible for ensuring the future. Our efforts today leave a lasting impact.

Rise + Thrive: Caring for Ourselves and Each Other

As we reach across the internet divide, there’s no way to really know how a genuine message of goodwill might be received by someone who is struggling with health issues, personal stress or feelings of loneliness.

We all smile in the same language.

At a time when cohesive, supportive communities are so important, we feel our places serve as the canvas for meaningful experiences that inspire curiosity and wonder.

It is through genuine personal interactions and sustained engagement that we have the best chance for our people, retailers and communities to succeed together and thrive.

The Unique Power of Art to Engage Communities

Art inspires social movements, evokes memories, transcends generations. Throughout history, music, drawing, dance, writing and many other artforms have served to soothe or stimulate our senses.
