About
Multifamily, value-add real estate investors with an emphasis on community development.
Taylor Equities is a privately-run boutique real estate investment firm founded by Steven Taylor. The company specializes in distressed and/or dilapidated apartment buildings in the greater Los Angeles area. Our acquisition process is detailed and thorough; our due diligence allows us to mitigate downside risks while optimizing the reposition for each property. Having multiple partnerships with local 3rd party property management companies enables us to match the strengths of each management company with the unique demands of each submarket.
For over 15 years, Taylor has been actively honing his knowledge and expertise of the real estate market in Southern California. He has experiences in all facets of the industry, starting with brokerage, to development, to running a real estate investment fund. With an uncompromising commitment to excellence, he has completed over $500 million in transactions and has developed a keen eye for identifying undervalued properties with strong upside potential. A fundamental philosophy that has severed the company well is recognizing that, “The profit is made on the buy, not the sell.”
Investing in real estate, particularly in the area of apartment buildings, has changed dramatically over the last several years. Foreign capital has flooded the market in hopes of providing wealth preservation for these international investors. As a result, competition has become more fierce and rampant. Despite these growing challenges, Taylor Equities continues to maintain its stronghold within the local market due to its expansive network of long term industry players and its successful track record.
Affordable Housing
Investments in affordable housing blend our core competencies with our commitment to community investment. With an accelerating nationwide affordable housing crisis, no community is immune from the impacts of rising housing costs. By leveraging our deep knowledge of risk mitigation, substantial experience in development, and immediately deployable capital from conscientious investors, we are uniquely positioned to manage investments in affordable housing that yield meaningful returns for all.
Development
Long-standing relationships with proven architects, engineers, and contractors establish Taylor Equities as particularly well-suited to take on development opportunities of many types. This capacity is further advanced by more than 15 years experience navigating governmental and regulatory bodies, planning departments, permitting processes, and utility companies. Specializing in multifamily ground-up and mixed-use projects, both on-grade and subterranean, Taylor Equities targets RTI/shovel-ready projects and land entitlements. Moreover, the introduction of new inventory to the housing supply is yet another way Taylor Equities advances its commitment to the community.
