About Us
Our Mission
Built to Adapt
Delivering projects on time and on budget requires more than a promise—it requires experience and adaptability. With licensed general contractors, real estate agents, and background-checked handymen on staff, our multidisciplinary team brings a broad base of knowledge to every project. This depth allows us to stay nimble, communicate clearly, and solve challenges efficiently, ensuring solutions remain aligned with our clients’ goals as conditions evolve.
Transparency
We believe strong, long-term relationships are built on honesty, clear communication, and accountability. As a local Pasadena-based company, we understand the importance of trust—especially when projects impact homes, livelihoods, and communities. Our clients can expect straightforward answers, realistic expectations, and proactive updates at every stage. When challenges arise, including those related to fire recovery and rebuilding, we address them openly and take responsibility for finding the right solutions, ensuring there are no surprises—only informed decisions and steady progress.
Diversity
What truly sets Lupine apart is our people. Our team is made up of professionals from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and perspectives, bringing a wide range of insight to every project we take on. This inclusive, collaborative culture has earned Lupine certification as a Great Place to Work®, based directly on feedback from our employees. The result is a thoughtful, responsive client experience driven by teams who are supported, engaged, and invested in the work they do.experience like no other.
Good Will
Lupine Properties was founded with a strong belief in investing in people and the communities they call home, beginning with the construction and remodeling of schools serving at-risk youth. That commitment continues today through our work with nonprofit organizations, commercial partners, and homeowners to create safe, functional, and well-maintained spaces. As a locally based Pasadena company, we pride ourselves on being approachable and responsive—making it easy for clients to reach us, ask questions, and stay informed throughout their project, whether it’s a small repair, a renovation, or a full home rebuild.
Lupine Properties' Story
To Build The Change We Want To See In Our Community
Lupine Properties, founded in 2010, is a locally owned real estate, construction, and facilities management firm proudly based in Pasadena, California. We serve both residential and commercial clients throughout Pasadena, Altadena, and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley, offering comprehensive services that include real estate acquisition and rentals, construction and remodeling, general contracting, handyman services, permit coordination, project management, and ongoing property and facility maintenance. Our integrated approach allows us to guide projects from initial planning and design—working closely with architects and engineers—through construction, final inspections, and long-term care, all with a commitment to quality, transparency, and clear communication.
For more than a decade, Lupine has supported private homeowners, public entities, schools, and local businesses by providing practical, cost-effective solutions in complex and evolving environments. In the wake of the Altadena fires, we are honored to support our community by helping homeowners navigate the rebuilding process—from emergency repairs and fire-damage assessments to permits, construction, and full home rebuilds. As a local company, we understand the emotional and logistical challenges that come with rebuilding after a fire, and we prioritize honesty, responsiveness, and advocacy at every step. Our deep connection to Pasadena and Altadena drives our commitment to community, accountability, and helping our neighbors rebuild safely, thoughtfully, and with confidence.
MEET THE TEAM

In 1999, Joe started his own company, building in excess of 100 custom and speculative residential projects located in the California Central Coast region. Joe’s company included turn-key services ranging from in house real estate, land use entitlement, architecture, engineering, and construction. Subsequently, Joe obtained his Real Estate Broker license and transitioned to the commercial construction and real estate market.
