30,000 sq. ft. | 85% Refurbished + Certified Pre-Owned

Envirotech partnered with CABI, Kardent Design, VVA, and their real estate advisor, Tyler Thurlow, Senior Director at L.A. Realty Partners, to deliver a 30,000-square-foot workplace in San Francisco designed around circularity, cost savings, and modern design.

Nearly 85% of the furnishings were refurbished or certified pre-owned, creating a stunning, design-led environment at a fraction of the cost of new.

The Opportunity

The project began with a clear goal: deliver a high-quality space that aligned with CABI’s budget and vision.

“The concept of repurposing pre-owned furniture and the reduced overall capital expenditure made Envirotech an easy recommendation.”

— Tyler Thurlow, Senior Director, L.A. Realty Partners

By bringing Envirotech in early, Tyler and the CABI team were able to align sustainability, design intent, and cost efficiency from day one.

Execution

Led by Shaunna Pudlis, the Envirotech team guided the process from start to finish with precision and professionalism.

“Envirotech and Shaunna were extremely responsive and professional throughout. They communicated every step clearly to both myself and my client.”

CABI’s team toured an Envirotech decommission project to hand-select refurbished options, experiencing firsthand how pre-owned furniture can rival new in both quality and appearance.

CABI’s new workplace is proof that sustainable design can deliver premium results without compromise.

•Seamless, design-driven delivery

“The client was very positive about the quality and the price point compared to brand new furniture.”

Sustainability with Style

While budget was the primary driver, sustainability became an added value that aligned with CABI’s values.

“It was an extra benefit associated with dealing with Envirotech.”

The Takeaway

“It was my first time working with a company that integrates second-life and remanufactured products, and it felt no different than traditional procurement—just better value. The combination of professional service, environmental responsibility, and sharp pricing makes Envirotech an easy referral.” — Tyler Thurlow

This project is another great example of how Envirotech delivers high-end, environmentally conscious furniture at a price that just makes sense.
