LV Executive meeting - bi-weekly
Bob Kennedy, Chris Aiello, Chris Andresen, Derek Sanders, grady lakamp, Greg Smith, Pedro Rosalessr
Summary
What happened
- The meeting reviewed project statuses across the pipeline and proposed a KPI portal to simplify recurring reporting to the state agency and board stakeholders.
- The team discussed timing, contract status, financing, and resourcing constraints across multiple projects.
- The team agreed to build a portal pushing seven to eight recurring non‑financial KPIs on a monthly or biweekly cadence to reduce long board meetings; Grady assigned Pedro to draft KPI ideas for review.
- Chris and Bob are finalizing a commission‑based business development agreement with Tom and plan onboarding and talking points for Pedro, Greg, and Grady.
- Closing and pre‑construction: the overall close is still being tracked for late June with mid‑June possible; the pre‑construction agreement for Khalifa/Whipple was completed and sent with no comments.
- HAN/HPN remains chaotic due to scope changes, personnel turnover, and volume; HPN is prioritizing other closes so draft contracts and bonding are in progress and a June 15 start date is unlikely.
- Whipple/Khalifa contracts are expected to mirror prior documents once provided.
- On Francis and Ramsey, repricing bids are returning; Greg requested refreshed bids from low bidders and trades.
- Derek emphasized the need for a signed GMP executed by early–mid June to lock the budget for closing.
- The BBC pipeline is slow: equity conversations with JLL and others continue with no term sheet and realistic project starts 90+ days after a term sheet, with best‑case starts in September–October if momentum resumes.
- Reseda is awarded with deposit paid but the November 30 close is expected to be extended roughly 90 days and practical construction timing is projected toward early 2027.
- Third Street remains exploratory with likely 2028 timing.
- A newly awarded Pacoima project (205 units) may start near term in Q1 but the awarded developer may lack bonding and balance‑sheet capacity, prompting discussion on partnering or acting as GC.
