Serrano Development Group, Inc. (SDG) is a multifaceted real estate investment and development company based in Los Angeles. Since its inception in 2005, SDG has developed multifamily, industrial and retail projects throughout the southwestern United States. SDG collaborates with a seasoned team of design professionals, contractors and financial investors to make every project successful. Drawing from a diverse resume of product types, SDG has extensive project experience. The construction and engineering background of the partners allows for the development team to tackle complicated projects and collaboratively manage the design process.
SDG consistently implements a development philosophy that integrates input early and often from the design consultants, general contractor, owner and development manager. The principals of SDG own a construction firm, Pacific Empire Builders, an essential tool in this process. In addition to developing its own projects, SDG maintains several strategic joint venture and development clients. Along with turnkey development services, SDG often advises our partners on value-add and stabilized acquisitions.
Our mission is to identify and pursue opportunities in the marketplace that create value for our financial partners and for the end users of our buildings. Our development philosophy is to collaborate with our design and construction partners and to challenge the status quo with the objective of finding and implementing efficiencies that will continuously improve our projects.
