Investment Thesis
High Quality Affordable Housing Built by Proven Operators
Demand that Outpaces Supply
Los Angeles and Southern California remain among the most undersupplied markets in the country. This ensures:
- Sustained rent growth
- Value appreciation due to scarcity
- Strong downside protection
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.
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 repeatable unit. SoLa builds from a standard spec book: repeatable unit layouts, contractors who already know it, and fixtures we have proven across two dozen ground-up developments. The less we redesign, the less every door costs.
- Stacked on site. Some buildings are modular. At 6200 Broadway, 70 units built at Model Z's factory in Watts were craned into place in ten working days. Others go up conventionally from the same repeatable plans.
- Then it becomes itself. The units are the skeleton, never the style. The same stack gets a different skin every time: its own color and materials, balconies, retail, a mural by a local artist. Crenshaw Lofts and 5300 Crenshaw share the same DNA and look nothing alike.
- 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.
