Cycle Resistant
Boom-and-bust cycles and black-swan events are a reality.
We focus on value and capital-efficiency while building a desirable product backed by consistent demand.
Why It Matters
Black Swan events
The Dot-Com bust, the Great Recession, Covid-19 — black swan events are part of our reality.
Market cycles
Market downturns, also a reality, are triggered by black swan events or factors like inflation which increases borrowing and operating costs.
Capital Preservation
We balance capital appreciation with capital preservation
How we Do It
We focus on value and capital-efficiency while building a desirable product backed by secular demand.
Structural undersupply
California's RHNA goals require 2.5M housing units by 2030, of which 421K are within the moderate-income category we target.
Stable residents
Our resident base is stable, with an average credit score of 690.
Focus on cost basis
We consistently focus on buying at an attractive cost-basis. With $850B of multifamily mortgage expirations from 2023-26, we see attractive buying opportunities.
Build value
By providing a desirable product that yields higher rents at lower cost per square foot, we are better cushioned against market cycles.
Conservative underwriting
We stay true to our underwriting discipline: attractive basis, stress-tested assumptions, low leverage, and discounted agency loans.
Our new Distressed Value-Add Fund seeks to acquire discounted properties borrowed at low rates utilizing high-mission agency discounts and add value by leveraging state and federal legislation.
INVEST IN OUR DISTRESSED VALUE-ADD FUNDResident Experience
Design, function and affordability should not be mutually exclusive.
We create a premium resident experience by providing features that matter, choosing great locations, and streamlining operations.
Why it matters
Location is everything
Middle-income professionals are often forced to sacrifice the conveniences of an urban location for lower rent.
Quality of housing
A convenient location can mean living in aging, rent-controlled housing with poor construction and design.
Rental burden
The rent burden of our target resident, whose discretionary income is only ~$40 a day, affects their quality of life.
How we do it
Desirable location
We reduce our residents' cost of living by locating properties near transit, urban amenities, and job centers.
Build what
residents want
Our design-conscious buildings feature premium unit finishes and upgraded common areas, fully satisfying our residents' mental checklist of features.
Trade off space for price
Our residents are willing to trade some square footage for location, design, amenities and lower rents.
Seamless leasing & operations
Our virtual tours and leasing, AI property management tools, and keyless entry reduce operations cost and provide a seamless resident experience.
Improved energy efficiency
Upgraded utilities and solar power systems tap into Inflation Reduction Act rebates and credits of up to $14,000 per unit while offsetting 50-120% of the building's energy usage for resident and investor benefit.
Our Distressed Value-Add Fund engineers low-cost transformations of distressed assets into highly coveted homes.
INVEST IN OUR DISTRESSED VALUE-ADD FUNDEfficient Builder
Faster turns of capital result in higher returns.
We optimize our design, entitlements and construction processes to compress timelines, while adding density. Our timeline from acquisition to operation is significantly shorter than that of other builders in California.
Why it matters
Cost of construction
Lower construction costs allow us to maintain margins while offering more amenities at lower rents. Our cost per residence is $250K vs. $570K (Bay Area average).
Time to deployment
The faster a building can be built and deployed, the sooner it starts giving a return on investment.
Cost to Operate
Efficient operations and streamlined property management reduce ongoing costs, allowing us to maintain competitive rents while maximizing returns for investors.
How we do it
We focus on value and capital-efficiency while building a desirable product backed by secular demand.
Accelerated Entitlement
We leverage state laws to expedite the permitting process and bypass local control where possible, which accelerates development timelines while lowering fees.
Optimized site selection
We target sites and buildings with value-add potential. This includes feasibility of adding solar, and potential to increase rentable area by adding units (ADUs).
Relationship first
We get to market quickly by investing in California markets we know well or partnering with trusted, reputable operators in new geographies.
Standardized designs
We are experts at building standardized small format housing. Standardization compresses timelines and lowers costs, allowing a faster turn of capital.
Densification with ADUs
We leverage California's new Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws, which enable up to a 25% unit count increase by right. Using ADUs to add density drives efficiency by increasing rentable inventory at lower cost.
Value Creation
Cash flow generation potential is an investment mitigation factor.
We look for assets with cash flow generation potential and make improvements that drive NOI.
Why it matters
High interest rate environment
In the current high interest rate environment, investors are looking for income generation opportunities with an upside.
High inflation
In an inflationary environment, investors are looking for yields that beat inflation.
How we do it
Strategic acquisitions
We acquire distressed assets with strong fundamentals in areas with an underserved demographic, undersupply of affordable housing and densification potential.
Lower cost of capital
Our borrowing history, middle-income housing focus, and affordable projects qualify us for agency loan discounts.
Experts at leveraging legislation
We leverage the Inflation Reduction Act and state densification legislation to increase rental yield and property-level equity multiples.
Value-add improvements
Our value-creation process efficiently upgrades building infrastructure and operations with a demonstrated ~75% increase in project-level net operating income in a market-neutral environment.
Increased rental yield
Honed over 20 years of expertise, our creative unit designs utilize space effectively, enabling increased density within a property. We also use CA's new ADU laws to add units, which increases rentable square footage cost-efficiently.
Conservative leverage & timed exit
We maintain low leverage and monitor the market closely to exit at the right time.
Sustainable Impact
We create energy-efficient middle-income housing by leveraging government legislation to reduce costs.
Transit-oriented, design-conscious and energy-efficient projects that are accessibly priced are good for the environment and for society.
Why it matters
Bay area housing crisis
With a shortfall of 408,000 units, housing supply for middle-income professionals massively lags behind demand.

Mitigating climate change
Nearly 22% of total U.S. energy consumption in 2022 was by the residential sector. When homes are energy efficient, their total energy consumption goes down.

Right thing to do
A home to love, for the life you want, without breaking the bank — that is our promise to the urban American workforce.
How we do it
Increased density per square foot
By using efficient design and adding ADUs, we can increase property NOI by ~25%.
Energy efficiency upgrades
We install new solar energy systems, low-flow fixtures and new greywater systems by leveraging the IRA legislation's rebates and credits that cover 50-100% of upgrade costs.
Increased affordability index
Our buildings are twice as affordable as the national average and accessibly priced for the middle-income segment.
Construction that reduces emissions
Our buildings are majority wood-frame construction vs. concrete and steel, and 100% electric vs. gas, resulting in lower carbon emissions.
Enabling sustainable transport
Transit, walk, and bike scores for our newer buildings are 50-80% better than the national urban average.
