Invest

A 31.85% historical average return, across every deal we have done.

We are proud to report a historical average return on investment of 31.85% since the inception of the company, across all deals.

The structure

We are the sponsor, the designer and the builder.

In a typical development deal you are paying a sponsor, an architect and a general contractor, each with a fee and each with an incentive to protect their own scope. Here those three roles are the same two people, which is why our fee load is lighter and why our timelines hold.

We invest our own capital in every project. What started as creating returns for friends and family has grown, entirely by word of mouth, into a group of outside investors who come back project after project.

Projects typically run about eighteen months and target a 25% annualized return. We take capital per project rather than into a blind fund, so you see the actual property, the actual plan and the actual budget before you commit. Positions are limited and are offered as they come up.

Figures reflect the firm's historical average across all completed deals since inception and are not a projection or a guarantee of future results. Target returns are objectives only. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. Any investment is made solely under the offering documents for a specific project, and past performance does not indicate future results.

How a deal runs

Eighteen months,
in five moves.

Same discipline as the construction side. You get the underwriting before the acquisition, not a status email after it.

01

Sourcing

Off-market and on-market acquisitions in the pockets of Los Angeles we already build in.

02

Underwriting

Design, construction cost and exit comparables modelled together, by the people who will build it.

03

Capitalization

Positions offered per project, with the property, the plan and the budget on the table.

04

Execution

Permits, construction and finish carried in-house, with reporting through the build.

05

Exit

Styled, listed and sold, then distributions made per the project documents.

What the capital produces

The product is the return,
and the return is the house.

Every project in our portfolio was designed, permitted, built and finished by the same team that underwrote it.
