Mark Omid Bolour is a Los Angeles-based real estate developer, specializing in emerging gateway markets across the United States. Born into the Bolour family, known for their thriving textile business in the Middle East and Europe, Mark's entrepreneurial spirit was influenced by the significant successes and transitions of his family. The Bolour family's business journey took off starting in Iran, expanded to Europe in the late 1950s, and eventually led to a successful textile empire with 12 distribution centers by 1980.
In the 1980s, the Bolour family transitioned from textiles to real estate investment upon relocating to the United States. Drawn to urban areas due to their past living experiences in Tehran and Hamburg, they began investing in neighborhoods like Hollywood, Downtown LA, and Koreatown, driven by the intrinsic belief in the recovery and potential of urban environments.
Mark Bolour now leads BOLOUR, his company's investment, lending, and development platforms, focusing on multifamily and mixed-use projects in metro Los Angeles areas such as the Arts District and Warner Center. Mark's approach to real estate merges his family's principles with modern trends, targeting young professionals with innovative, technology-integrated living environments. His dedication to community-oriented projects is evident from BOLOUR's diverse portfolio, which includes transformative projects like the Warner Center and various mixed-use developments in urban LA.
