About Our Guest

Mark Jones II is a Los Angeles native. Growing up in Los Angeles, Mark was inspired by the real estate developer Rick Caruso of Caruso Affiliates and his developments The Grove and The Americana. As a child, seeing huge Caruso® real estate developments spring up inspired him to create something of his own. In a way it empowered Mark. He asked himself, “If other people could create something beautiful in real estate that brought such beauty and enjoyment into the lives of others, why couldn’t I?”
