Three decades of property management. Zero drama.
K2 has managed commercial buildings in Downtown Los Angeles since Bobak Kalhor founded the firm in 1995 — three decades of continuous operation, run by K2’s own staff under his leadership as Broker of Record.
Management is where K2 leads.
Property management has been core to K2 Investment, Inc. from the day Bobak Kalhor founded the firm in 1995 — and it has never stopped. Under his leadership as Broker of Record, the practice has run the same neighborhood, to the same standards, and in many cases for the same owners, for three decades. The full K2 team stands behind it, with Siamak Kalhor supporting the practice alongside his work leading the firm’s Napa Valley side.
That continuity is the product owners actually buy. Rent gets collected, statements go out, buildings stay maintained, tenants stay handled — month after month, year after year, without incident. In an industry where management firms churn, K2’s owners have had one number to call — Bobak’s — for three decades.
Full-service management, in-house.
Rent Collection & Financial Reporting
Consistent, on-time collection with clear monthly statements. Owners see exactly what came in, what went out and why — no surprises at tax time.
Lease Administration
Lease terms tracked and enforced — escalations, options, expirations and renewals handled before they become problems.
Tenant Procurement & Screening
Vacancies filled from the same market K2 has brokered since 1995, with screening that prioritizes tenant quality over speed.
Maintenance & Vendor Management
Preventative maintenance and repairs through vendor relationships built over decades — trades who show up, priced honestly.
On-the-Ground Presence
K2’s office sits at 530 E 8th Street, inside the district it manages. The team can be at any managed building within minutes — not managing from a suburb by email.
Broker-Level Oversight
Management runs under the same roof as the brokerage. When a building should refinance, re-tenant, reposition or sell, the advice is already in the room.
Managed where we broker — block by block.

Management firms churn. K2 doesn’t.
Three Decades, One Standard
The practice has operated continuously since 1995 — through the 2008 crisis, the DTLA revival and the COVID era — without gaps and without handing buildings off.
K2’s Own Staff
No outsourced call centers. Management is run by K2’s in-house team under broker oversight, and owners deal with the same people year after year.
We Know the Tenants
Thirty years of brokering the same corridors means K2 knows the tenant base — who pays, who grows, who to avoid — before a lease is ever signed.
Brokerage & Management Together
The rent roll K2 manages today is the underwriting K2 brings when it’s time to sell or refinance. Owners get one firm that sees the whole picture.
Rooted Downtown. Serving Los Angeles County and Orange County.
K2’s deepest expertise is Downtown Los Angeles — the Fashion, Flower and Garment Districts the firm has managed and brokered since 1995. From that base, K2 manages and advises on commercial property across Los Angeles County and into Orange County.
Downtown & Central Los Angeles
Fashion District, Flower District, Garment District, South Park, the Historic Core — plus Vernon, Commerce, Montebello, Alhambra and the industrial corridors east of Downtown.
San Fernando Valley & West
Encino, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Van Nuys, Burbank and Glendale — office, retail and mixed-use assets across the Valley.
South Bay, Long Beach & Orange County
Long Beach, Torrance, Downey and the South Bay, extending into Orange County — Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton and surrounding cities.
If your building is anywhere in greater Los Angeles or Orange County and you want it run the way K2 has run Downtown for three decades, start a conversation.
Common questions about K2 property management.
What property management services does K2 provide?
Full-service commercial property management: rent collection and monthly financial reporting, lease administration, tenant procurement and screening, maintenance oversight and vendor management, building inspections, and direct owner communication.
How long has K2 been managing commercial property?
Three decades. Property management has been core to K2 Investment, Inc. since Bobak Kalhor founded the firm in 1995, and it has operated continuously ever since — through the 2008 financial crisis, the DTLA revival and the COVID era.
Where does K2 manage property?
Downtown Los Angeles — principally the Fashion District, Flower District and Garment District, within a few blocks of K2's own office at 530 E 8th Street. The team can be inside any managed building within minutes.
Who actually does the work — is management outsourced?
No. Management is run by K2's own in-house staff under broker oversight, with long-standing vendor relationships for trades and maintenance. Owners deal with the same people year after year.
Does K2 manage buildings it also brokers?
Yes, and that is the point. Managing buildings in the same corridors K2 sells and leases means rent rolls, tenant quality and operating costs are known from the inside — which makes both the management and the brokerage better.
Does K2 manage property outside Downtown Los Angeles?
Yes. Downtown is the home base and deepest expertise, and K2 manages and advises on commercial property across Los Angeles County — including Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley (Encino, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas, Woodland Hills), Glendale, Burbank and the South Bay — and into Orange County.
