 INNOVATIVE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

IMAGINE - DESIGN - BUILD

With laser beam focus, Black Iron Development specializes in the purchase and modernization of older apartment buildings strategically located in high end beach communities in San Diego, Orange county and Los Angeles. 

Black Iron utilizes its long-term relationships with a large network of commercial real estate brokers, apartment building owners and its reputation, that has been established since 1993, to identify and purchase many "off-market" buildings which have proven to have the best returns. Once acquired and modernized, each Black Iron building is rented at "top of the market" rents to achieve maximum returns. 

Black Iron Development's principals have purchased, modernized and resold over $800,000,000 worth of residential real estate. We operate in a straightforward and transparent manner with open communication as we seek long-term relationships with investors and professionals who share our vision and goals.

“Rents are definitely spiking and generally rising 5% – 7% year over year in San Diego. There is just a limited supply.”

Stuart Posnock

Garden Communities, Owner

“San Diego County needs 15,000 – 20,000 new housing units each year to keep up with demand and the influx of folks loving our sunshine. Even in our most productive year, our housing increases are only 6,500.”

San Diego Housing Commission 

“San Diego needs 107,000 more apartment units over the next 8 years to keep up with demand.”

Elyse Lowe Director Development Services, City of

San Diego 

“With the tightness in the market, San Diego house prices have increased dramatically in 2020, with single family homes up 15.3%. This is causing many would-be first time home buyers to continue renting.”
