Daniel Coleman

My name is Daniel Coleman and I am the proud owner of Coleman Built Homes LLC, a real estate investment company, as well as Pacific Design Build LLC, a vertically integrated construction company. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a bit about the work we do.

Coleman Built Homes LLC is the culmination of over 20 years of experience. We invest our own capital into real estate deals and leverage the expertise of our vertically integrated construction company to design and build residential properties in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Hermosa Beach. Our deep knowledge of the local market gives us a distinct competitive advantage, allowing us to confidently underwrite our deals and make strategic investment decisions. We have both sole capital projects and partnerships with other like-minded real estate investors.

Our construction company, Pacific Design Build LLC, serves as an invaluable asset to Coleman Built Homes. With refined operations and established relationships, we are able to secure our investments in a way that third-party general contractors simply cannot match. This control also enables us to build faster and at a cost basis that gives us a competitive edge in the market.

A little bit about me:

I am a third-generation builder and a serial entrepreneur with a passion for both music and real estate. My journey in construction and design began at the age of 19 when I framed my first house, quickly specializing in foundation and framing. Over the years, I have honed my skills and expanded my expertise, drawing parallels between music and the design & construction process.

In 2011, I had the privilege of meeting my mentor and friend, Don Popkes, whose background in finance and design proved instrumental in my career acceleration. Together, we worked on notable projects, including high-profile contracts and collaborations with renowned individuals and companies. Some of our projects have been featured in prestigious publications such as Architectural Digest, California Home & Design Magazine, MyDomaine, Digs South Bay, and Open House TV on NBC. These experiences have helped establish my reputation as one of the premier builders in the South Bay area. Don and I co-own Pacific Design Build LLC and invest in several real estate developments together.

With my extensive knowledge and experience, I have become an ultra-specialist in the South Bay market. I’ve gained invaluable comprehensive knowledge regarding lot acquisition costs, construction expenses, and a deep understanding of how to assess market comparables. While my next goal is to venture into multifamily investing, I thoroughly enjoy the creativity, challenges, and rewards that come with single-family and condominium development in the South Bay.
