Elevado Group

What Elevado Group does

Elevado Group is a privately held investment and consulting firm headquartered in Encino, California, operating two integrated lines of business: a vertically integrated real estate development platform focused on multifamily workforce and mid-market housing in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and a growth-equity investment practice deploying $250,000 to $3,000,000 per company into healthcare, financial technology, and technology sectors. The real estate platform acquires, entitles, finances, develops, and operates residential communities through the full lifecycle, currently managing approximately 1,000 apartment homes across named projects in North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Valley Village, Panorama City, North Hills, and Los Angeles (e.g., The Hamlin, Carpenter 54, Vineland 00, Woodman 30, Bedford 46, Van Nuys 06, Burbank 38/44).

The firm's development operations are supported by affiliated construction and property management partners (Alpa Construction and Alpa Management), both connected to Executive Advisor Ilya Kleinman, providing captive build and leasing capabilities. The investment portfolio includes positions in Trinity Payment Solutions, Cogitativo, Uber, Treez, and historical stakes in Meritus Payment Solutions and Paysafe Group, several of which were founded or co-founded by Founding Partner Alan Kleinman and realized through sales to Optimal Payments and a Blackstone/CVC-led acquisition of Paysafe's payment division.

Elevado Group is internally capitalized by its principals rather than institutionally funded, enabling all-cash acquisitions and rapid closings without external fundraising cycles. Revenue is generated through rental income from stabilized multifamily assets, gains on the development and sale or refinancing of new projects, and returns on the private equity investment book. The firm has no disclosed technology platform, software products, or AI/ML capabilities; its competitive differentiation is operational and financial rather than technological.

Direct peers

• Jamison Properties: LA-based multifamily owner, developer, and property manager with a long history of infill Southern California apartment communities. Closest direct peer in geography and product type, with deeper operating history and larger unit count.
• Holland Partner Group: West Coast-focused multifamily developer, owner, and operator with a strong infill urban apartment portfolio. Directly comparable to Elevado's infill LA apartment strategy, with significantly larger AUM and geographic breadth.
• BH Properties: LA-based private real estate investment firm focused on value-add and development opportunities in Southern California. Comparable in being a privately held, principal-driven LA real estate investment platform, though BH is broader across asset classes.
• Watermark Capital Group: LA-based private real estate investment and development firm with infill multifamily and mixed-use projects. Closely mirrors Elevado's strategy of principal-backed LA infill development with selective partnerships and long-term ownership.
• The NRP Group: National developer, owner, and builder of multifamily workforce and affordable housing. Directly comparable to Elevado's workforce housing thesis in California infill markets, with deeper institutional capital backing and a national footprint.
• Legacy Partners: Established multifamily developer with a long history of infill projects across California, including the LA metro. Comparable product type (new-construction rental communities) and similar submarket focus.
• Carmel Partners: LA-headquartered multifamily developer with a focus on infill urban workforce and market-rate rental housing. Highly comparable to Elevado's vertically integrated LA infill development model, though Carmel operates at substantially larger scale and with institutional capital.
• CA Ventures: Multifamily real estate investment and development firm with a significant LA / Southern California presence. Operates a vertically integrated development and investment platform similar in structure to Elevado's combined development and growth equity model.

Broad incumbents

• Greystar Real Estate Partners: Largest US apartment operator and investment manager with substantial Southern California exposure. Comparable in underlying real estate activity and target renter demographic, but operates as a much larger, institutionally backed incumbent rather than a focused infill developer.
• Essex Property Trust: Public apartment REIT concentrated on California West Coast multifamily housing. Comparable target renter and product type in California, but operates as a stabilized-asset acquirer/owner rather than a ground-up infill developer.
