La Brea: The Hotel Concept

Posted on April 23, 2019

We are analysts and developers, community advocates and investigators. Since we assimilate into every community where we develop properties, we are often the first to know what locals and visitors want and need. Simultaneously, we maintain a 30,000-foot view and our connection with lenders and banks keeps us in the know of any potential changes in the finance market. We are constantly revisiting our original pro forma to ensure we meet and/or beat investment-return projections. This is why we just knew it was time to introduce the hotel concept into our La Brea project. An area that attracts more shopping, dining and reliable public transportation, also attracts transient visitors who need an uplifting and comfortable place to stay. With very few residential hotels in the neighborhood, we are meeting a need that we see increasing in the coming months and years.

Best Bosses | Here are Real Estate Forum’s picks for Best Bosses in 2023.

The last year has not been easy for the head of a commercial real estate company. Inflation and the Fed’s response, as well as trends that emerged from the pandemic, have clearly had an impact on the industry across all of the sectors. Besides the effect of, say, ongoing remote work on the beleaguered office asset class or the slowing pace of rent increases in multifamily, these executives have also had to navigate an increasingly difficult capital markets environment. I have some bad news for this group: the near-term future doesn’t look any easier. Enter our selection of Best Bosses this year. This year’s picks were made at least in part based on their resiliency and ability to position their companies for future growth, whenever that might occur. We are confident these strengths will see them through what could be choppy waters ahead.
