About Us
Kahen Development is a boutique real estate development firm based in Los Angeles, specializing in the design and construction of luxury homes that embody both refined elegance and modern innovation. From exclusive hillside estates to bespoke custom residences, each project reflects our commitment to architectural integrity, high-end craftsmanship, and enduring quality.
Based in Los Angeles, we offer a fully integrated project approach, from site acquisition and feasibility studies through design, entitlement, construction, and final handover. Our deep-rooted relationships with leading architects, material innovators, and construction artisans allow us to deliver highly personalized homes that exceed expectations.
At Kahen Development, we take a curated approach. We’re not driven by volume, we’re driven by vision. Every residence is approached with the same attention as if it were our own: thoughtfully designed, meticulously built, and transparently managed.
We believe that true luxury is found in the details. Whether it’s custom millwork, innovative smart-home systems, or site‑responsive architecture, we fuse timeless design with elevated materials to create homes that feel deeply personal and effortlessly elegant.
Our design philosophy is collaborative. Your vision is our blueprint. We work side‑by‑side with each client, maintaining an open and transparent process, so your personal lifestyle and aesthetic shape every aspect of the final home.
Faraz Kahen, Founder and CEO of Kahen Development, brings a passion for premium residential architecture and hands-on experience in creating distinctive luxury homes.
With a background in civil engineering and business strategy, Faraz founded Kahen Development to elevate the bespoke homebuilding experience. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from UC Berkeley and later completed his MBA at the USC Marshall School of Business, combining technical expertise with entrepreneurial insight to lead high-impact real estate projects.
Faraz specializes in crafting personalized residences that combine modern design sensibility with architectural refinement and precision execution.
Faraz believes a home is more than a space, it’s a sanctuary. He leads every project with the same vision and care he would bring to his own family home, closely guiding every decision from site selection to final finishing. He is deeply committed to using premium materials, integrating the latest in home technology and sustainability, and ensuring complete client transparency throughout the process.
His approach is defined by integrity, presence, and relationship-building. With every project, Faraz strives to create a residence that not only enhances its environment but also stands as a lasting legacy of quality, beauty, and pre‑eminent craftsmanship.
