Investment Thesis
High Quality Affordable Housing Built by Proven Operators
01
Demand that Outpaces Supply
Los Angeles and Southern California remain among the most undersupplied markets in the country. This ensures that we will see (1) sustained rent growth, (2) value appreciation due to scarcity, and (3) strong downside protection.
02
Affordable Housing, Built Affordably
Every SoLa building runs on the same standardized spec book, refined across two dozen ground up developments - same designs, trusted contractors, repeatable execution. That’s how each project comes in faster and more cost effectively than the last.
03
Positioned for LA’s biggest decade
Our portfolio sits along the transit corridors connecting LA’s marquee venues as the city hosts the 2026 World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympics; with our footprint now expanding into San Diego.
How We Build
One playbook, $275K a unit.
California delivers this housing for $800K to $1M a door. Here is how the same building costs us a third of that.
- One standard unit. Every SoLa building is drawn from the same spec book: the same unit layouts, the same trusted contractors, the same fixtures, refined across two dozen ground-up developments. Almost nothing gets designed from scratch.
- Repeated, not reinvented. Repetition is what makes it fast. On our newest projects the units arrive complete from Model Z, our own factory in Watts, and the whole building goes up in ten working days.
- Finished to last. Balconies, rooftop decks, in-unit laundry, ground-floor retail: specified once and repeated, which is how the amenities survive the budget instead of getting value-engineered away.
- Leased and lived in. Florence & San Pedro was 100% leased within 23 days of its Certificate of Occupancy, at rents 37% above underwriting. In Los Angeles, demand is not the risk. Supply is.
