Honest Buildings Moves Out West

LOS ANGELES—The New York-based commercial real estate projects connection engine Honest Buildings has made its first foray into the West Coast market with the opening of its second US office here in Los Angeles, GlobeSt.com has learned exclusively. The move is part of the company’s strategy to expand to major US markets. To lead the Los Angeles office, Honest Buildings has tapped Kevin Siebers as VP of business development.

“We were founded and have had a lot of success in New York. L.A. is the second largest real estate market in the nation and is not dissimilar from New York in that there are a lot of different owners, a lot of capital in the market and a lot of similar problems with the transparency of building projects. So, we want to take what we have done in New York and apply the same technology and transparency to the same problems that exist out here,” Siebers tells GlobeSt.com.
