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.
