More homes for Los Angeles, with a return that makes sense

In many Los Angeles neighborhoods zoned for more than one home, California now lets a property be divided into separate homes, each sold on its own, with approval from city staff instead of a public hearing. We pair that with a faster way to build and buyers who commit before construction. The first project will show how it works in practice.

The plan

  1. Phase 1, now

    One project, start to finish

    Buy, approve, build and sell one Los Angeles project. Return investors’ money and publish the real numbers.

  2. Phase 2

    Two or three at once

    Build on several properties at the same time, with the same partners, approval process and list of buyers.

  3. Phase 3

    A homebuilder for Los Angeles

    Line up buyers before we buy the land, then build for them across Los Angeles and later across California.

Where the return comes from

On city building projects, profit is mostly a question of time. Every month that land waits for approval or construction costs interest and upkeep. Our approach is designed to cut those months.

  • The right land, found first

    Atlas, our own software, checks every property in Los Angeles for places where the city already allows four homes, so we find the right land early.

  • Approval without a public hearing

    Under California’s newer housing laws (SB 684 and SB 1123), city staff must decide within 60 days of a complete application, without a lengthy environmental review.

  • No stalls for materials

    Every part is planned and cut ahead, so crews aren’t left waiting on deliveries.

  • Homes spoken for early

    Buyers reserve and choose before we build, so homes sell sooner and with less risk.

  • Four homes per property

    Each home is sized for what buyers in that neighborhood want and can afford, on streets that already have water, power and transit.
