    Dylan Arian

    FOUNDER / PARTNER

    Dylan brings the same intensity to life that he brings to business. As a lifelong basketball player, he lives by the “Mamba Mentality” —always pushing to be better, stay sharp, and outwork the competition. Whether he’s catching a Lakers game, finding new spots around LA, or hopping on a flight to explore somewhere new, Dylan believes success isn’t just built at the desk—it’s built by staying curious, staying active, and staying connected.

    As a Los Angeles born native, Dylan is a real estate strategist helping clients navigate the city’s complex development process with clarity and results. Reimagining what it means to build in the city he calls home. With over a decade of hands-on experience across residential and commercial brokerage, land use consulting, and real estate development, Dylan has been on the ground floor of complex real estate deals since a young age. Today, he leads Land Works Consulting—a full-service land use and development advisory firm guiding clients through zoning, feasibility, permitting, and entitlement in one of the most competitive markets in the world.

    From first-time developers to institutional investors, Dylan is the go-to consultant for clients seeking creative yet actionable solutions to unlock site potential, maximize density, and move projects forward efficiently. His ability to blend creative vision with practical execution hasearned him a reputation as both a forward thinker and a problem-solver—the one clients turn to when projects stall, deals go quiet, or the city pushes back.

    A licensed agent since 18, Dylan sharpened his teeth in residential and commercial sales before transitioning to work for one of the top land use firms in the country, where his strategic mindset and obsessive attention to detail set him apart. With a background in Business Administration and Real Estate from California State University, Northridge, he blends academic insight with real-world hustle.

    Dylan’s core values—tenacity, transparency, and trust—drive every client interaction. Whether managing complex multi-family entitlements or helping an investor secure a competitive off-market opportunity, his approach is tailored, aggressive, and built on relentless execution.
