In 2010, the Citi Ventures group relocated their 20-person team from New York City to Silicon Valley. The new location is a 5,000 sf space, part of a mixed-use development in Palo Alto. The highly collaborative workspace focuses on a central work core augmented by a gathering space, open kitchen, war rooms, and breakout spaces.

Continuous glass around the perimeter spaces allows natural light to extend through the workspace, complimented by a warm material palette that includes a reclaimed wood ceiling, fabric-wrapped acoustical panel walls, and natural concrete floors.

The Citi Ventures Lab earned LEED Gold certification.
