Each unit features modern amenities, stylish finishes, and thoughtful design, catering to the needs of today’s students while providing a vibrant community atmosphere.

Project Overview:

As developers and part of a portfolio purchase, the 29th Street Duplex has been transformed into a 6-unit luxury student housing property, located just a block away from USC Village and two blocks from campus in one of the most desirable areas for student social activity. The redevelopment focused on maximizing the property’s potential to cater to student needs, with high-end finishes and amenities, while maintaining a strong community atmosphere.

Notable Highlights:

Originally a 4-unit, 9-bedroom property, we added two detached ADUs in the rear, creating 8 additional bedrooms and expanding the property to 6 units with 17 bedrooms. The ADUs were completed in just 10 months and ready for the following school year. During this period, we also renovated two of the existing four-plex units as part of the turnover process, significantly enhancing the property’s value and appeal.

Project Overview:

As property and development managers, we transformed this single-family lot into a luxury student housing compound, nearly doubling the number of bedrooms and completely renovating the existing house. The tired, outdated home was revitalized into a 7-bedroom student residence, and a state-of-the-art, 5-bedroom ADU was added in the rear. This project not only increased the property’s capacity but also enhanced its appeal to modern student tenants with high-end finishes and amenities.

Notable Highlights:

Originally a 6-bedroom single-family home, the property was expanded with the addition of a detached 5-bedroom ADU in the back. We successfully reconfigured the layout to accommodate a 7-bedroom main house and preserved ample parking space, ensuring convenience for tenants. The renovation of the main house and the construction of the ADU were completed within a tight timeframe, allowing for pre-leasing and high demand among student tenants.
