Coverage, podcasts, and media mentions about LADU's work building ADUs across Los Angeles.
"Babak Mortazavi is one of the principals of LADU, which provides a soup-to-nuts service for permitting, financing and constructing an ADU. “Business is good,” he said. “It’s a clear value proposition.” Construction costs usually run between $250-$500 a square foot, he said, not including fees for permitting. Yet, the resulting value it provides to the property is closer to $600 a square foot"
LADU founder Babak Mortazavi appeared as a guest on Step's Podcast for a high-impact conversation about the state of the ADU market, new California legislation, and the most effective multifamily development strategies for homeowners and investors in 2025 and beyond.
"With a vision-driven model that integrates architectural expertise, regulatory intelligence, and compassionate service, LADU has emerged in Los Angeles as a partner for homeowners seeking to maximize their property's potential while fortifying neighborhoods. They are helping change how Angelenos think about residential space after devastating wildfires"
"LADU's free site visits are designed to help homeowners navigate the process of building ADUs, which can be used for rental income or multi-generational living. By providing this educational service, LADU is addressing a key area in the ongoing conversation about housing in Los Angeles."
