Larry Bond co-founded Bond Companies along with his brother Robert Bond in 1987 and serves as its Chairman. The company has won dozens of awards for its innovative developments throughout the United States. Larry has been developing mixed-use properties for more than twenty years, including the award-winning, Sunset & Vine, a 750,000 square foot mixed-use project in Hollywood at the intersection bearing its name. Sunset & Vine won more than a dozen national awards, including "Project of the Year," "Best Urban Mixed-Use Project," "Best Urban Retail Center," and "Best Residential Project." This includes the highly coveted "Golden Nugget" award for best real estate development. Bond Companies has offices in Los Angeles and Chicago, and Larry heads up the Los Angeles office.

Larry joins the Realty Mogul podcast to discuss how Bond Companies acquire the land for their developments, the attributes they are looking for, and how they take their first steps with a project. He shares how the company determines the best use for locations in terms of choosing to build mixed-use, multifamily housing, or multi-family with retail or office space. Bond Companies was founded in 1987 and since then has won many prestigious real estate industry awards, so Larry also discusses where they see themselves going in the future.
