Join us in Costa Mesa for an exclusive tour with Nikolai & Sebastian Sadeghi, both Berkeley alumni, to explore the LAB Anti-Mall and the CAMP. Hear about the founding story of LAB Holding (owners of The Anaheim Packing District) and get an exclusive sneak-peek at an upcoming new development of theirs in the area / in the SoBeCa District!

Afterwards, stick around for drinks and bites (included in your ticket price) from one of the unique dining operators on site. Parking information will be released the day before the event to all registrants. Many thanks to LAB Holding for generously subsidizing food, drinks, and parking for our group! We're grateful for their support in making this event possible.

Company Description:

LAB Holding weaves community, culture, commerce, and consciousness into real estate innovation and placemaking. Specializing in supporting up-and-coming retail entrepreneurs and independent creators, LAB, an acronym for "Little American Business", creates nurturing environments where small businesses can thrive.

As a pioneer in neighborhood revitalization and experiential commercial real estate, LAB Holding is the creative force behind iconic destinations including Costa Mesa’s SoBeCa District (South on Bristol Entertainment, Culture, Arts), The LAB Anti-Mall, The CAMP, The Anaheim Packing District, and numerous other creative commercial properties across Orange County. Through long-term community investment, LAB Holding transforms adaptive-reuse properties into vibrant, culture-driven gathering places.

Project Description:
The LAB "Anti-Mall" is an eclectic indoor-outdoor retail community designed to combat traditional retail monotony. An acronym for "Little American Business," the destination was initially redeveloped in 1993 from a former night vision goggle factory by former fashion industry executives Shaheen and Linda Sadeghi.

Today, the family legacy continues as the space is stewarded by their sons: Dominic, Nikolai (UC Berkeley Class of 2019), and Sebastian Sadeghi (UC Berkeley Class of 2017). Marking a dynamic new chapter, The LAB has recently undergone the most substantial redevelopment in the property's history - replacing what was once one of the nation's original Urban Outfitters locations with seven brand-new, independent small businesses tailored to serve the local community.
