Nathan Kadisha Champions Affordable Housing at Bisnow LA Conference

On May 7, 2025, the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel hosted the Bisnow Los Angeles Affordable Housing Conference, a pivotal gathering of real estate leaders, policymakers, and advocates addressing the city's pressing housing challenges. Among them was K3 Holdings Principal Nathan Kadisha, who delivered a powerful message: if Los Angeles is to address its housing crisis, it must embrace urgency, innovation, and long-term collaboration.

As potential federal cuts to programs like Section 8 threaten to destabilize tens of thousands of local households, Kadisha called for immediate action, not just from policymakers, but from private developers, capital partners, and community leaders alike.

“We believe in the fundamentals of affordable housing,” Kadisha said. “Sustainable housing is not just about supply, it’s about access, stability, and long-term opportunity. At K3 Holdings, we’re committed to delivering solutions that serve people and communities, not just markets.”

That conviction runs deep at K3. The firm, along with its partner Alpine LA Properties, takes a long-term, impact-driven approach to development, prioritizing dignity, trust, and mobility in the communities they serve.

“Housing is more than walls and a roof,” Kadisha told the audience. “It’s where families grow, where seniors feel safe, and where working people build a future. That belief shapes every project we pursue.”

Kadisha stressed that real progress requires the alignment of capital with community needs, and a commitment to preserving existing affordable housing, not just building new units. 

In his remarks, he specifically emphasized that protecting the current housing stock, preventing displacement, reinvesting in aging properties, and ensuring long-term affordability, is just as critical as new development. This philosophy is central to the K3 model, which champions preservation as a vital pillar of sustainable housing.

“We have to stop thinking in short-term cycles. Affordable housing must be treated as essential infrastructure,” he said. “Density is part of the solution but so is protecting what we already have.”

A central theme of Kadisha’s remarks was the importance of public-private partnerships and creative financing strategies to close the affordability gap. K3 Holdings’ track record reflects this ethos, leveraging adaptive reuse, strategic site selection, and thoughtful design to deliver affordable housing that is both functional and transformational.

At K3 Holdings, affordable housing is more than a policy goal, it’s a core value. Through every project, the firm works to create vibrant ecosystems that support economic opportunity, health, education, and human dignity. From Los Angeles to cities across the country, K3’s developments are designed to foster pride, belonging, and generational progress.

As Los Angeles grapples with growing housing pressures, voices like Kadisha’s continue to shape the regional conversation with clarity, compassion, and resolve.

As the city navigates these complexities, voices like ours will resonate in conferences and beyond. We will continue to steer conversations toward actionable solutions. We are proud to be a trusted voice and a trusted partner.

We are proud to stand with leaders who understand that building the future means ensuring everyone has a place in it. At K3 Holdings, we remain committed to driving progress and creating lasting impact, one community at a time.
