Affordable Developments
Building for Equity
Partner in Affordable Housing
Choosing a design team isn’t just about good drawings—it’s about choosing a partner that understands the full journey from idea to Certificate of Occupancy. At XtraUnit, we design with construction in mind. Our plans don’t just look good—they perform in the field, hold up in plan check, and align with your bottom line.
Our vision
Navigating the Policy Landscape Success in affordable housing requires a builder who understands the specific regulatory environment. We are experts in:
The Plan to House LA (2021-2029 Housing Element)
We build in alignment with the city's goals to produce over 450,000 new housing units, with a focus on creating housing for Acutely Low, Extremely Low, and Moderate-Income households.
Executive Directive 1 (ED1)
We leverage the streamlining benefits of ED1 to accelerate the plan check and permitting process for 100% affordable projects, getting housing built faster.
Citywide Housing Incentive Program (CHIP)
We understand how to utilize the menu of incentives offered by CHIP, including Tier 4 bonuses and waivers, to maximize unit count and project feasibility in Higher Resource and transit-rich areas.
Compliance & Labor:
Our teams are experienced with the complexities of prevailing wage rules, Davis-Bacon requirements, and RSO (Rent Stabilization Ordinance) replacement regulations, ensuring full compliance and mitigating risk for developers and public agencies.
Housing That
Serves the Whole Community
We also coordinate with public partners to ensure RSO replacement units, anti-displacement strategies, and strong marketing outreach so affordable units reach the communities who need them most. At Xtraunit, we don’t just build housing—we deliver the infrastructure of opportunity
Affordable developments must address more than unit count. We focus on multi-bedroom layouts for families, ADA-accessible units for seniors and residents with disabilities, and durable finishes that reduce long-term maintenance for housing operators. Each building is designed with dignity: secure entries, community rooms, laundry lounges, landscaped courtyards, and shaded outdoor spaces that promote resident wellness.
Building
with Dignity & Quality
Affordable does not mean inferior. We are committed to building communities that offer residents pride, stability, and access to opportunity. Our value-engineering and design-build approach ensures we can deliver durable, sustainable, and attractive buildings with amenities that rival market-rate standards, all while adhering to strict budget constraints from multiple funding sources like HCIDLA. We build more than units; we build the foundation for a more equitable Los Angeles.
