LeBron James: House Three-Thirty
Address: 532 W Market St, Akron, OH 44303
Designed in collaboration with LeBron and his mother Gloria, based on what would have helped them when growing up in Akron—jobs, mentorship, financial education, and community spaces
House Three Thirty is far more than an event space—it’s LeBron James’ signature philanthropy agenda in physical form. Its seamless blend of job training, financial empowerment, and community culture marks it as a model for how sports icons can build lasting, transformative impact in their hometowns.
