Our Story

Ariel Chazanas, founder and CEO of Lotus West Properties
Ariel Chazanas
Founder & CEO

Lotus West Properties was founded by Ariel Chazanas, a native Angeleno and UCLA finance graduate who grew up in a family of property developers and managers. What began with just 20 units has grown into a trusted firm managing over 1,100 multifamily units across nearly 100 buildings throughout Los Angeles.

That growth has come from one simple commitment: treating every property we manage as if it were our own. We specialize in multifamily apartment buildings with 8+ units, and we bring deep, practical knowledge of LA's complex rent control landscape — from the City of LA's RSO to the separate ordinances in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and beyond.

As a family-led company with a team of 10 dedicated professionals, we keep our approach personal. Our property managers are directly accessible — no call centers, no automated runaround — backed by an experienced in-house repair crew and transparent monthly reporting.
