Meet the H Group LA | Development & Luxury Real Estate Firm

Over the last 15 years, the firm steadily expanded the scale and sophistication of its projects, evolving from residential acquisitions and repositioning into the development of bespoke luxury residences in some of Southern California's most sought after communities, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Newport Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Hollywood and Los Feliz.

Luxury residential development remains at the core of South Coast Builders. Each property is approached individually, allowing the location, site, scale and character of the surrounding community to inform the architecture and design. Rather than applying a signature formula, the firm assembles architects, designers and project teams specifically suited to the vision and potential of each property.

That approach has produced a portfolio ranging from architecturally significant transformations to ground up luxury estates, including residences exceeding 10,000 square feet in Beverly Hills and major projects throughout Southern California. Since its founding, South Coast Builders has developed more than 100 properties representing approximately 500,000 square feet of real estate.

As South Coast Builders has expanded its investment platform and grown its multifamily holdings, it has carried forward the same residential philosophy that established its reputation in luxury single family homes. The firm designs multifamily properties around how people actually live, with an emphasis on thoughtful floor plans, generous living spaces, privacy, security and features such as townhome style residences, private garages and gated environments where appropriate.

The result is a different approach to multifamily investment and development. The firm's capabilities span the full investment lifecycle, from acquisition and disciplined underwriting through planning, entitlement and development, to stabilization and long term ownership. South Coast Builders seeks to create properties that generate durable cash flow, build long term equity and provide an exceptional living experience for residents.

Today, South Coast Builders continues to pursue exceptional luxury residential development opportunities while expanding its multifamily portfolio, bringing the same commitment to thoughtful design, quality and long term value to every property it develops and owns.
