After a lengthy entitlement process where we defeated a city council Historic Monument designation attempt, we started construction on our 35-unit TOC project. With an A+ location, strong entitlement plan, and luxurious design - new construction can still pencil in a high…
We broke ground on our 44-unit ED1 project at 11418 Missouri Ave-Sands off Sawtelle. Construction will be 4 stories of Type V over a slab on grade. At kickoff, Sands off Sawtelle is one of the few 100% affordable projects to break ground in a high-resource neighborhood.
Really exiting ED 1 news:
11418 Missouri in Sawtelle has broken ground!
This was the project that was facing a CEQA appeal that could have derailed all of ED 1.
It’s also the first ED 1 project to break ground in a high-resource area!
Congrats to @stevenscheibe & team
In car-centric L.A., thousands of new apartments are getting built with zero on-site parking.
Housing advocates say it brings down construction costs and lowers rents. Neighbors worry street parking will turn into a bloodsport.
My latest @LAist story: laist.com/news/housing-h…
First, the city of L.A. said 100% affordable housing projects would be exempt from environmental review.
Then, the city began accepting appeals.
Now, the city has rejected those appeals.
My new @LAist story looks at how we got here, and why it matters: laist.com/news/housing-h…
Los Angeles accepted a CEQA appeal on a 100% ED1 affordable housing project that is statutorily exempt from CEQA.
Trust in our institutions is what gave us the confidence to invest. When that trust erodes, there is less investment.
The Real Deal covered the story as well:…

The Real Deal covered the story as well:…
In her first week in office, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass promised to speed up new affordable housing, in part by exempting projects from lengthy and expensive environmental reviews.
But I found the city has started accepting appeals. Read on for more details. laist.com/news/housing-h…
Mayor Karen Bass told real estate developers, via ED1, that 100% affordable housing projects are statutorily exempt from CEQA.
So, our team invested in land and design to get a 100% affordable housing project approved. The approval letter reiterated that the project was…
We’ve been receiving a lot of calls lately about our ED1 project being appealed. @LAist recently asked to meet with us to discuss what happened and what our expectations are now that an appeal has been accepted. laist.com/brief/news/hou…
The electrical inspector on one of our construction sites wants us to get a supplemental permit for exit lighting when the architectural plans already have them, and all MEP & architectural plans were approved and stamped by the city. $1,400 to replicate plans and submit

Not all multifamily development lots are created equally. Base zoning and zoning overlays have major influence in how you underwrite deals.
When we analyzed one of our 30+ multifamily developments, we worked through the following limiting factors:
