An Iconic Southern California Escape for Equity Platinum Fund 2 Investors
Equity Residences is excited to offer our investors access to a stunning new home within the Terranea Resort on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California, USA.
Our villa is located inside this award-winning luxury resort, giving investors the opportunity to enjoy a five-star Southern California coastal experience just 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
Welcome to California’s Riviera
Situated above the Pacific Ocean with sweeping views of Catalina Island, Terranea Rancho Palos Verdes Resort is one the most scenic and coveted destinations on the Southern California coast. You will feel a world away from the bustle of the city, yet you are only 30 minutes away from LAX and Long Beach airports.
This Mediterranean-style resort offers a luxurious, nature-forward escape, with miles of coastal hiking trails, hidden coves, and panoramic ocean views. The development itself was guided by strict environmental standards to preserve the peninsula’s native flora, marine life, and unobstructed coastal views.
Long before Terranea became a luxury escape, the Palos Verdes Peninsula was part of the Channel Islands, gradually shifting over millions of years until it fused with the California mainland. The name Palos Verdes comes from Cañada de Palos Verdes, or “canyon of green trees.” In 1998, Lowe Enterprises took on the ambitious task of transforming this iconic site into what would become Southern California’s premier coastal resort. Over a 10-year development process, the team worked closely with Hill Glazier Architects and Scheurer Architects to create a resort that blends harmoniously with the landscape.
Their guiding philosophy, honor the Peninsula’s natural beauty, the ecological importance and cultural heritage. The result is an elegant Mediterranean-inspired enclave with flowing indoor and outdoor spaces, tiered architecture that opens to the sea and a deep commitment to sustainability. Today, Terranea is more than a resort, it is a thoughtfully designed coastal haven where luxury, history, and nature come together seamlessly.
