With Our World Real Estate Development Defined by Service & Expertise
With Our World®
Creating the world we want to live in starts with us.
With Our World is organized into three tracks: pro-people, pro-planet, and pro-action. The first, pro-people, provides above-and-beyond amenities to enhance each resident’s quality of life. The second, pro-planet, focuses on high-performance, conscious design that reduces each residential community’s environmental impact. The final, pro-action, encourages residents to engage with their surrounding community and act on matters that are important to them.
We are currently rolling WOW out across a number of MBK residential communities, both new and existing, following its
debut at Vida in Morgan Hill, California. There, a mix of high-tech and thoughtful decisions, including on-site solar panels, EV charging stations, and smart thermostats makes it easy for residents to enjoy a high quality of life while leaving a lighter footprint.
Ultimately, pioneering a program like this allows us to celebrate sustainable and responsible living, elevate it as a central tenet of our residences and prove that it can be done without sacrificing comfort or at the expense of great design. MBK proudly stands With Our World.
