In a groundbreaking partnership that's transforming Los Angeles's development landscape, MID Construction Group and JDJ Consulting Group have created the industry's first truly comprehensive development solution. But this partnership goes far beyond simple convenience – it represents the union of two elite firms that have individually set standards for excellence in their respective fields.
MID Construction Group brings the sophistication of a national contractor with the cost-effectiveness of a local builder. Currently managing over 500 apartment units under construction, MID leverages cutting-edge technology, and over 100 full time team members to ensure precise project execution. Their portfolio spans everything from luxury apartments to affordable housing communities, with over 1,500 construction projects completed. Some notable projects include USC Student Housing, US Army, Navy Marines facility, City of Venice rehabilitation housing for victims of domestic violence, as well as several ED1 projects.
JDJ Consulting Group has established itself as Southern California's premier land use consulting firm, having successfully guided more than 6,000 residential units through the entitlement process. Their proactive problem-solving approach and deep relationships with local agencies have made them the go-to experts for navigating LA's complex regulatory landscape. From density bonuses to Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) projects, JDJ's track record of accelerating approvals while optimizing project potential has earned them a reputation for excellence.
"What makes this partnership truly revolutionary is how it combines elite expertise with seamless integration," says Steve Ghermezian, Director of Construction at MID Construction Group. "Our technology-driven approach to construction management now works in perfect sync with JDJ's mastery of the entitlement process, creating efficiencies that simply weren't possible before."
The partnership delivers a comprehensive suite of services under one roof:
- Strategic entitlement planning and expedited permitting
- Full-service general contracting and construction management
- Advanced project management and tracking systems
- Land use optimization and zoning analysis
- Tenant improvement specialization
- Cutting-edge technology integration throughout the process
- ED1 expertise from planning to construction
This integration has proven particularly valuable in today's challenging development environment. JDJ's expertise in maximizing development potential through density bonuses, TOC incentives, ED1 and strategic zoning analysis is enhanced by MID's ability to translate these entitlements into cost-effective construction solutions. Their shared commitment to efficiency means projects move faster without sacrificing quality.
"Our mission has always been to transform challenges into opportunities," explains Jake Heller of JDJ Consulting Group. "By combining our proactive approach to entitlements with MID's construction excellence, we're not just streamlining the process – we're optimizing every aspect of development."
The results speak for themselves. While traditional development timelines in Los Angeles often face significant delays, projects under the MID-JDJ partnership consistently outperform industry standards. Their technology-driven approach to both construction and entitlements ensures transparent communication, precise execution, and superior outcomes.
Whether you're planning a TOC project, ED1, navigating complex entitlements, or seeking efficient construction solutions, this partnership offers something unprecedented: true development expertise that spans the entire project lifecycle, backed by proven success in Southern California's most demanding markets.
