September 25, 2026 0 Comment Category: Estate Law

The challenges facing Southern California housing involve both public policy and the economics of development. Approval hurdles, borrowing costs and construction expenses were among the topics discussed at The Real Deal’s recent multifamily roundtable in Los Angeles.

Hosted in partnership with Amazon Key at Mother Wolf, the event brought together leaders from across the real estate industry. Niv V. Davidovich of Davidovich Stone Law Group LLP participated in the conversation and was included in The Real Deal’s event coverage.

Bringing Real Estate Industry Perspectives Together

The roundtable included representatives from TruAmerica Multifamily, Kairos Investment Management Company, D2 Asset Management and Pacific Legal Foundation. Executives from Related California, Kennedy Wilson, Stockdale Capital Partners and other industry organizations also participated.

The discussion focused on the obstacles making housing increasingly difficult to build in Southern California, including the combined pressures of regulatory requirements and financial feasibility.

Key Challenges Discussed at the Roundtable

Several issues shaped the conversation about Los Angeles multifamily development:

• Entitlement and policy hurdles: The challenges involved in securing development approvals and navigating housing policy.
• Elevated interest rates: Borrowing costs that affect the financial outlook for proposed projects.
• Rising construction costs: Building expenses that add pressure to development budgets.
• Project feasibility: Whether a project’s anticipated costs and returns allow it to move forward.

Together, these issues framed a broader question: how can housing development progress when both policy conditions and project economics present obstacles?

Why These Conversations Matter to Property Owners

Although the discussion centered on multifamily development, its themes are also relevant to landlords, property managers and real estate investors.

Development conditions form part of the wider environment in which owners operate rental properties and consider future investments. Understanding the pressures discussed by industry leaders can provide useful context when evaluating opportunities and planning for the future.

For property owners, the roundtable highlights the value of considering legal requirements and financial conditions together when assessing a proposed project or investment.
