“I’ve enjoyed collaborating with KARDENT since 2008. I was looking for someone who could effectively interpret the design goals of our legacy organization. We had specific ideas to reflect our 120-year history, our core values, and to provide the infrastructure and proper tools to support our staff as we grow. After a few false starts with competing design firms, I finally found Jodi and KARDENT! Our 72,000 SF exterior and interior renovation was a huge success and we love our new corporate home."

“We have been using KARDENT as our primary architect in West LA, Santa Monica, and Long Beach for the better part of a decade. Their team is organized, skilled, and ready to take on any job for us. I trust Kardent with our projects not just because they are capable, but because they are genuinely good people.”

“California State University (CSU) Office of the Chancellor has had the pleasure of using KARDENT on multiple projects at our headquarters. KARDENT brings innovative design and executes it with positive energy and attentiveness to CSU standards. The CSU looks forward to working with KARDENT for many years to come.”

"We are in the steel business, not the design and remodel business, so we needed a true partner. KARDENT not only made our vision happen, they helped shape our vision. The KARDENT team integrated seamlessly with our business people and processes. Their team made it feel like we were doing our remodel with friends, which took a lot of the stress out of the process for our team. No matter what we needed, KARDENT had a resource to throw at it. They provided a truly turn-key solution for our office remodel. We had some very specific needs to fit into a very specific budget. KARDENT had no problem finding affordable solutions and alternatives that met and exceeded those needs and kept us within budget. Perhaps most important, KARDENT communicated and monitored to ensure those needs were met along every step of the project path."

“KARDENT’s talented team members have brought creative solutions and value-added options to our building’s tenant improvement spaces and to full building renovations for more than 20 years now. They are a pleasure to work with, and they are an essential part of our team in the management and lease of of our properties. Their creative expertise assists our tenants in envisioning their space needs, optimizing function while being cost conscious.”

"I have worked with many of the principals and staff at KARDENT over the past decade and find myself going back to them time and time again for new and ongoing assignments. They are terrific at analyzing the client’s needs, and they come up with creative and cost-effective solutions in a timely manner. This is what our clients expect and it helps facilitate closing the transaction for a successful outcome. I am happy to recommend KARDENT whenever possible."
