A specialist multifamily operator headquartered in Costa Mesa - 750+ units across six states, focused on owner returns under heavy California regulation.
NextGen Properties was founded on a focused premise: multifamily properties are their own discipline, and they deserve a manager who treats them that way. We don’t take on single-family homes, individually-held condos, or short-term rentals. Multifamily properties are the entire focus - and 26 years in, that focus shows up in everything from rent-control fluency to renovation cost discipline.
Headquartered in Costa Mesa and operating across California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and Florida, we bring a boutique, hands-on approach to every building in our portfolio - from identifying the right acquisition to delivering exceptional day-to-day management under AB 1482, the LA RSO, the Santa Ana RSO, and Pasadena Measure H.
What sets us apart is our integrated platform. We don’t just manage multifamily properties - we acquire, develop, and build them too. That full-cycle capability gives owners and co-investors an unmatched advantage and keeps our underwriting grounded in real operational data.
Explore our servicesWe do what we say. Every commitment to an owner, investor, or resident is treated as a promise - and we deliver on it. Transparent reporting, honest communication, no surprises.
Whether it's a maintenance request at midnight or an investor question on a Sunday morning, our team moves fast. 24/7 responsiveness isn't a feature - it's our standard.
A multifamily property is a home for the people who live in it and a neighborhood for the block around it. We invest in the communities we manage so residents stay longer - which is also the most reliable lever on owner returns.
We're measured by the returns we generate for our owners and the satisfaction of our residents. Every decision - from maintenance vendor selection to leasing strategy - is made with that in mind.
From a single 12-unit infill building to a multi-state apartment portfolio, our systems and team scale with the owner. Institutional-grade management without losing the boutique sensibility.
Systems matter, but people matter more. We hire for character and train for excellence - building a team that genuinely cares about doing great work for every client and resident.
From a single Costa Mesa multifamily property to a six-state platform, NextGen Properties has grown by staying narrow and going deep.
NextGen Properties is established in Costa Mesa with a single focus: professional, transparent multifamily property management for Orange County owners who were tired of generalist managers treating multifamily like a side business.
After building a strong multifamily property management portfolio across Orange County, NextGen oversees its first ground-up multifamily project from site acquisition through delivery.
Multifamily renovations were getting bid out at GC markups that destroyed value-add returns. We brought construction in-house - one accountable team for the full multifamily lifecycle, no third-party execution risk.
Investors are moving capital out of California into Phoenix and Las Vegas. We follow with the operating model intact - entering Arizona and Nevada, applying the same multifamily discipline to new markets.
California passes statewide rent control. We rebuild leasing, noticing, and renewal workflows around AB 1482, the LA RSO, the Santa Ana RSO, and Pasadena Measure H. Compliance becomes a core competency, not a panic.
Canyon Townhomes (57 units, Alhambra) and Elevation Townhomes (48 units) deliver in Phoenix - 105 Class-A units we sourced, entitled, built, and now manage ourselves. Sister brand NextGen Coastal launches to handle coastal SFRs and vacation rentals.
750+ apartment units under management, an integrated platform spanning acquisition, development, management, and construction, and the same multifamily focus that defined the company on day one.
Our executives aren't behind a desk - they're on-site, hands-on, and actively engaged in the day-to-day success of every community we manage.
With 26+ years in multifamily real estate, Chris founded NextGen Properties on the principle that multifamily owners deserve a specialist operator - not a generalist. He remains actively involved in every major acquisition and the cost discipline behind every renovation.
Our operations team oversees multifamily property management across all six states, ensuring every building runs smoothly, every rent-control compliance step is documented, and every owner receives the transparent reporting they deserve.
Our acquisitions directors source, underwrite, and close multifamily assets across our six-state footprint - using real operational data from our managed portfolio rather than broker pro formas, and building long-term value for co-investor partners.
Whether you own one multifamily property or a portfolio, are exploring co-investment, or are looking for your next apartment home - we’d love to connect.
Beyond multifamily properties, we operate three sister brands. NextGen Coastal handles coastal single-family and vacation rentals along the Southern California coast - the work we deliberately don’t do under the NextGen Properties banner. Dwell extends into affordable modular communities, and NextGen WiFi powers managed bulk internet for multifamily.
