We're building better housing and a better development experience — from the ground up

For far too long the process of building quality housing has been tangled up in complexity, miscommunication, and the headache of coordinating countless consultants.

We're here to change that.

Casitas Development is a full-service construction management and development firm committed to creating housing that people are proud to call home and making the process to get there straightforward for the people who build it. We're not just building projects, we're building homes and community in neighborhoods that matter. Every decision we make centers on the communities we serve because housing isn't just about four walls, it's about where people build their homes and livelihoods. Casitas has proudly delivered over 1,900 units across Southern California.

What We Do

We handle the full spectrum of multifamily and ADU development:

Sponsor Developments: We develop our own quality projects with the end user in mind.

Third-Party Services: We provide project management and owner's representation, guiding clients through entitlement, permitting, development and construction from concept to completion.

ADU Leadership: With 120+ ADUs delivered, we're market leaders in accessory dwelling unit development, working on both private projects and public affordable housing programs.

Municipal Partnerships: We collaborate with Southern California cities to implement award-winning affordable ADU housing programs, including Pasadena's Second Unit ADU Program, Long Beach Backyard Builders Program, and West Hollywood's Affordable ADU Pilot Program.

Whether you need full-service support or à la carte assistance with permitting or construction management, we tailor our services to match your project.

What Makes Us Different

We're specialists, not generalists. While others spread themselves across every asset class, we stay laser-focused on housing development. Most importantly, we make development transparent. No jargon, no runaround, no unnecessary stress. Just experienced guidance, honest communication, and a team that's genuinely invested in your project.

The bottom line: We're here to prove that development doesn't have to be daunting and that building quality housing can actually be a collaborative, even enjoyable process.

Our Values

Innovation: We bring fresh, forward-thinking approaches to residential development.

Quality: Excellence isn't optional—it's embedded in every project we touch.

Client Satisfaction: Your success is how we measure our own.

Community: Building homes that strengthen the neighborhoods around them.

Transparency: Clear communication, honest timelines and [straight-forward]

Reliability: We do what we say we'll do, when we say we'll do it.
