Investment Strategy
A disciplined, value-add approach to California multifamily real estate.
Market Thesis: Why California, Why LA
Supply Constraints
California's regulatory environment — including strict zoning laws, CEQA requirements, and rising construction costs — makes it exceptionally difficult to build new housing at scale. This structural supply shortage protects existing asset values and supports sustained rent growth.
Demand Drivers
Los Angeles is the second-largest metro area in the United States, anchored by world-class employers in entertainment, technology, healthcare, and education. Population density, job growth, and lifestyle appeal drive persistent rental demand across submarkets.
Rent Growth
The fundamental imbalance between housing demand and constrained supply creates sustained upward pressure on rents. LA submarkets with proximity to employment centers, transit, and amenities consistently outperform.
Barrier to Entry
High land costs and regulatory complexity create significant barriers to new development, which benefits owners of well-located existing assets — particularly those positioned for value-add renovation.
