At Maher Commercial Realty, we don’t just sell land—we unlock its highest and best use. In a city as dynamic and competitive as Los Angeles, every parcel holds unique potential, whether it’s for market-rate housing, affordable developments, student housing, or mixed-use projects. Our expertise lies in transforming raw land into thriving communities, and we’re here to guide investors and developers through every step of the process.
Why Partner With Us?
1. Precision in Zoning & Feasibility
Not all land is created equal. We start by obtaining detailed zoning reports and conducting rigorous feasibility studies to determine the maximum allowable FAR (Floor Area Ratio) and density for your site. From TOC Tier incentives to state density bonuses like AB 1287 and AB 2097, we navigate complex regulations to ensure your project capitalizes on every square foot.
For example, a site zoned R4 with TOC Tier 1 eligibility could see density increases of 50-100%, while properties near transit hubs may qualify for streamlined approvals. We’ve leveraged these strategies for clients in neighborhoods like Palms, Echo Park, and Koreatown, turning underutilized lots into high-yield developments.
2. Maximizing Value Through Expertise
Whether your goal is to build 30 units or 150+, our team identifies the optimal path forward. We analyze factors like parking exemptions, affordable housing set-asides, and ministerial approval processes to fast-track timelines and reduce costs. Recent projects include:
- A permit-ready 30-unit mixed-use site in Palms, expandable to 63 units with density bonuses.
- A 12,014 Sq.Ft. Echo Park-adjacent lot eligible for 66 units under state incentives.
- A 72-unit Venice Blvd development with plans for a pool, pickleball court, and ocean views.
3. Access to a Nationwide Developer Network
With lists spanning tens of thousands of local, regional, and national developers, we connect landowners with the right partners. Our network includes specialists in:
- Market-rate housing (luxury apartments, townhomes)
- Affordable housing (100% affordable projects under ED1/AB 2334)
- Student housing (proximity to UCLA, USC, and other campuses)
- Retail/commercial (transit-oriented developments in high-traffic corridors)
From shovel-ready sites to off-market gems, we match properties with developers who have the vision and capital to execute.
