Through thoughtful real estate development, we create opportunities for families across California to build lasting memories and invest in what matters most — a place to call home.

California Housing Innovation Milestone - 410 Josefa Street, San José
California's first ADU condominium sale is now official. The City of San José announced this milestone sale, developed by AlphaX RE Capital, following California's implementation of AB 1033 — legislation allowing eligible cities to authorize separate ADU sales.
The two-bedroom home sold for $530,000, complete with its own deed, independent utilities, private parking, and no HOA fees — rare features at this price point in Silicon Valley.
Mayor Matt Mahan called it a step toward unlocking homeownership at lower price points. For the buyers, it meant finally achieving privacy, independence, and a home of their own in the Bay Area.

The Deal Lounge — LP+ Edition
"Everyone has access to AI. Not everyone has a moat." This was the core message at The Deal Lounge — LP+ Edition, hosted at AlphaX RE Capital's Silicon Valley headquarters.
Featuring speakers from tech, finance, and real estate — including Robert Scoble, Prof. PK Prasanna Kumar, Bochen Wang, and Rahul Varshneya — the discussion centered on one idea: AI amplifies competitive advantage, but doesn't create it. In real estate, true value comes from local market knowledge, entitlement navigation, trusted relationships, and execution.
As Prof. PK noted, "The alpha isn't in the algorithm—it's in the architecture." The moat lies in ecosystem and execution, not just technology.

PG&E helps Bay Area Developer Speed up Attainable, all-electric homes - AlphaX Partnership
California's housing challenge isn't ambition—it's execution. AlphaX RE Capital believes closing that gap requires deep partnership across the entire ecosystem: utilities, cities, builders, lenders, and communities, each facing distinct constraints from infrastructure to affordability.
Through close collaboration with PG&E's Service Planning and Design teams—leveraging tools like the Project Status Tracker and recurring coordination meetings—AlphaX delivered 60 all-electric homes in 2025 and is scaling its 2026 pipeline to approximately 200 homes.
As CEO Stephanie Yi emphasizes, the real opportunity lies in translating policy momentum into climate-resilient communities where families can thrive.
