Allen Blackwell's passion for architecture and design began in high school, where he would collect clippings of high-end homes, kitchens, and landscapes. Now as a father, Allen recognized the challenges families face with day-to-day activities and having to manage the flow of everyday life. Inspired by his experiences, he sought to build homes that were both "Artfully and Intelligently Designed."
In 2018, Allen founded Lionstail Investments with the goal of transforming outdated houses into sophisticated, modern residences. What began as smaller fixer-upper projects, remodeling homes and adding functional elements like master suites, has since evolved into the design and development of 5,000 square foot custom luxury homes, selling for up to $5 million. Allen’s vision has always been to assemble a talented team across various trades, creating state-of-the-art single-family homes that appeal to today’s more discerning buyers.
To date, Lionstail Investments has funded, developed, and sold 10 homes, with 5 additional homes currently under development. These projects have generated nearly $20 million in gross revenue, marking Allen’s company as a key player in the Los Angeles luxury real estate market.
