REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
Our developments have transformed the downtown landscape by showing the market demand for a luxury urban lifestyle in Bakersfield.
We develop projects from their inception. We acquire property, raise capital, secure financing, navigate permitting and guide the architectural design of the buildings. We manage the entire construction process and the operation of the completed property day-to-day — including leasing, maintenance, accounting, compliance, security, marketing and community building.
We are dedicated to delivering solid returns for investors and driven to have a positive and lasting impact on Downtown Bakersfield and its residents.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Our team has the experience, the technology and the systems to maximize investors’ return on their investment. We manage our own multifamily developments, providing a high level of service to residents and fostering a sense of community.
