Why build an ADU in Los Angeles?

What is an ADU?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is an opportunity for building owners and prospective tenants. The ADU is a living space of up to 1200 sq.ft. that is an accessory to a single-family or a multi-family building. It will increase the valuation of your property when you build an ADU, and the City of Los Angeles can even find you a tenant and guarantee rent for five years. This is the ultimate win-win for any Los Angeles homeowner.

Multi-Family ADUs in Los Angeles

In January 2020 a new law came into effect allowing multi-family units to add additional units to their buildings through the ADU program. 

The following can become legal units:

- Garages/covered parking spaces

- Non-conforming units 

- Recreation rooms 

- Laundry rooms 

Junior ADUs in LA

Acronyms can get confusing. A Junior ADU, JADU, or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit, can be up to 500 sq.ft. and contained inside a single-family residence. The main restriction for a JADU is that the residence should be occupied by the owner. Nevertheless it is still a handy way to generate more passive income if you do not have the ability to build your own ADU. Our commercial projects include both new construction and repairs or restorations. Occupied and fully operational job sites are never a problem. We can also plan, manage, and build multi-phase jobs.

Why build an ADU in Beverlywood, Los Angeles?

Time is running out to seize the ADU opportunity in Beverlywood, Los Angeles. Rising material costs and potential delays in the Los Angeles administration process can impact your plans. Building an ADU in Beverlywood offers versatile rental options, from short-term rentals like Airbnb to regular long-term rentals, providing a significant income potential. As the demand for housing in Los Angeles continues to grow, securing an ADU now can position you advantageously in the rental market.


Additionally, city programs provide guaranteed tenants, ensuring a steady rental income. Beverlywood homeowners can benefit from current subsidies and financing options that cover 80-90% of construction costs, making the investment more accessible. These financial incentives from the city make it an ideal time to build an ADU, enhancing your property value while contributing to the affordable housing solutions in Los Angeles. Take advantage of this unique opportunity before the costs rise and administrative processes slow down.

LA City Legislation

Here is a brief background the Los Angeles City legislation with ADUs. Please let us know if you have any questions!


The City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (Ord. 186,481) was passed on December 19, 2019. It added Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 12.22A.33, which included standards and requirements for ADUs, Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs), and Movable Tiny Houses (MTHs).

What is the GRM?

The LA ADU Accelerator Program

What is the GRM?

The Gross Rental Multiplier (GRM) is a crucial term in real estate, representing the number of months of rent required to cover the cost of your building. For homeowners in Beverlywood, Los Angeles, renting out your ADU can cover construction expenses in as little as 4 to 5 years. Beyond that period, rental income becomes pure profit. These figures apply to long-term rentals, but choosing short-term rentals can reduce the repayment time significantly.
