Holly Hatch, Luxury Property Specialist with Coldwell Banker Realty in Calabasas, has been prominently featured in The Trend Report 2025 by Coldwell Banker Global Luxury for her representation on Trancas Malibu — an exclusive enclave of oceanfront and bluff-top residences in northern Malibu. The project, which Holly represents alongside her husband Chris, was spotlighted in the report for its innovative, climate-resilient design and exceptional environmental safeguards.
The Trend Report 2025 highlights emerging buyer priorities, noting that “nearly 90% of homebuyers say it’s very important to them that the house they buy has at least one climate-resilient feature,” with younger generations leading the charge. However, while Malibu remains a highly sought-after destination, it is also particularly vulnerable to climate threats such as hillside erosion and wildfires.
In response, Trancas Malibu was designed with resilience in mind. The homes feature non-combustible stucco, rooftop sprinklers, solid concrete foundations extending 60–70 feet underground, and Tesla solar panels with Powerwalls. Public water infrastructure has been upgraded, and a private fire response team is on standby. To reduce environmental impact, the community includes low-water native landscaping and flat-roof architecture that blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment.
Holly Hatch explained the project’s mission in the report:
“Trancas addresses those concerns head-on, offering a level of protection that is unprecedented in new developments.”
These eight luxury homes, starting at $25 million, were thoughtfully designed with both safety and long-term value in mind. Moreover, ongoing efforts to protect nearby Broad Beach — including a protective rock wall and beach replenishment — further underscore the community’s proactive investment in sustainability and coastal resilience. As a result, buyers can feel confident that their investment is not only luxurious but also future-focused.
