Glass House Brands and LEEF Announce MSA for The Leaf El Paseo Dispensary and Off-Take Agreement
This mutually beneficial agreement grants Glass House exclusive rights to manage all dispensary operations, including, but not limited to, the sale of cannabis products, the purchase of cannabis product inventory, and employee management, for an initial period of one year, with the potential for extension. This agreement is the first of Glass House's retail management services which it began offering in 2024.
Glass House will assume daily management responsibilities of The Leaf El Paseo, allowing Glass House to expand its retail operations in California while enabling LEEF to focus on its core business as a premier concentrate provider. The agreement includes an off-take agreement from Glass House to LEEF, securing a significant portion of the annual raw cannabis material required to power LEEF's extraction lines.
'We are excited to work with LEEF, a respected peer in California under this agreement, as we expand our exposure to the Palm Springs market for both retail and wholesale contributions,' said Kyle Kazan, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Glass House Brands. 'This MSA agreement, represents the continued development of our retail operation and reflects our strength and overall solid position in the California market. Through execution and on the benefit of the strategic pricing initiatives that we implemented last year, our retail team has seen same store sales increase on an annualized basis for five consecutive quarters despite continued challenging market conditions, and in our most recent quarter retail revenue growth outperformed the California market by more than 30%. And as all of our decisions are based on what is best for the cannabis consumer, offering our loyalty program to another great area of California is a tremendous win. Plus Palm Desert is a well know vacation area.'
'Collaborating with Glass House Brands elevates The Leaf El Paseo and secures a favorable off-take agreement that fulfills a significant portion of our annual supply chain needs for our extraction business,' said Micah Anderson, CEO of LEEF Brands. 'This partnership is a true win-win, allowing LEEF to sharpen our focus on being a leading concentrate provider while enabling Glass House to expand its retail footprint in California. This agreement strengthens LEEF's production capacity and lays the foundation for broader strategic partnerships with Glass House.'

Photos: Peek inside a $45 million Lake Tahoe mansion with views from every room
A striking glass-and-steel residence overlooking Lake Tahoe has been listed for $45 million. Designed by British architect Mark Dziewulski, the nearly 10,000-square-foot home — known as the 'Tahoe Glass House' — sits on a steep, half-acre slope in Crystal Bay, Nev. Among its standout features are a five-story floating staircase made of laminated glass and a cylindrical glass elevator that connects the home's six levels. Built in 2008, the home was designed to maximize views of the lake and surrounding Sierra Nevada range. 'The owner wanted a year-round house that took full advantage of the dramatic site,' Dziewulski said in a statement. To comply with zoning restrictions, the structure was embedded into the hillside and is largely concealed from the road. The main entertainment level features floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated lake-view balcony and a kitchen outfitted with dual marble-topped islands and a butler's pantry. The primary suite occupies an entire floor, with additional guest accommodations on two lower levels. Outside, the property includes a private steel-and-Trex pier with a 3-ton boat lift and two buoys. A granite sculpture by artist Jesús Moroles is installed on the landscaped grounds. 'The Tahoe Glass House is not just a lakefront home; it's a true masterpiece, where art, architecture and engineering seamlessly come together,' listing agents Breck Overall and Soni Jackson of Sotheby's International Realty said in a statement. 'The home offers a living experience unlike any other.'
