OUR MISSION
Vidal Collaborative Design came up with the idea for the Collaborative Apartments because we believe that renters—not only homeowners—deserve to enjoy good design. Inspired by the eclectic energy of Echo Park, Atwater Village, and the Eastside of Los Angeles, we restore historic apartment buildings with strong foundations and reimagine them into design-forward spaces that celebrate both heritage and creativity.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that design should be accessible to all—not reserved for ownership or luxury. The Collaborative Apartments embody this vision and our guiding principle: Live Collaboratively, Thrive Creatively.
We are not corporate landlords. We are community builders, curators of design, and advocates for collaboration. Our purpose is to create spaces where neighbors connect, creativity flourishes, and everyday living becomes a uniquely inspiring experience.
Rooted in Design. Grounded in Community. Thriving through Creativity.
About Design Vidal Collaborative
Design Vidal Brings Drama to Vintage Living Spaces
Since 1999, The Collaborative Apartments has focused on building long term value. We are experts in multi-family real estate on the east side of Los Angeles.
Our long term outlook has helped us identify solid vintage LA housing stock to our investors. We invest capital to thoroughly overhaul all systems while retaining the architectural integrity of the buildings and period appeal of the interiors.
Each apartment is custom designed and outfitted with top of the line fixtures and appliances. We design and manufacture our own tile and custom build cabinets. The result is a style which attracts tenants who are like minded and share an aesthetic, which leads to a cohesive community and low vacancy.
Our disciplined approach defies the whim of market cycles and this win-win strategy has not only contributed to the communities of Echo Park and Silver Lake but also brought superb gains to our capital partners.
