Stay in the work.
Principals are in every transaction: sourcing, underwriting, design review, construction, lease-up and asset management.
Invest where we have an advantage.
We invest only in California, and only in submarkets where we have direct operating relationships.
Build for the long term.
Underwriting, materials and unit design reflect long hold periods rather than a near-term exit.
Work with repeat partners.
We work with a small group of capital partners, and several have invested with us on more than one project.
Durable buildings that add to their neighborhoods.
We design buildings that hold up across cycles, using durable materials, efficient systems and floor plans residents can live in for years. West 27th Place and AV8 were both certified LEED Platinum.
Above-code energy performance on ground-up projects.
Partnership with municipalities and Business Improvement Districts on downtown revitalization.
Commissioned site-specific work. Recent commissions include Julie Chang (opens in a new tab) at Webster Eleven and Jet Martinez (opens in a new tab) at Centro Callan.
We hire operators.
We hire carefully and rarely, and only when we find people who want to be in the work.
