The Ivy, Arcadia — three-story wood-framed block by PJ Empire, from the air
PJ Empire Construction

Built to a higher standard.

Commercial and multifamily wood framing across Southern California — for more than 25 years.

The difference is in the details most people never see. Every wall plumb, every connection to spec, every schedule met — long before the drywall goes up.

Selected work

The proof is framed.

Multifamily, senior living, and commercial — all of it self-performed.

Capabilities

One sub for the whole wood package.

Multifamily framing

Type III and V apartments, podium and wrap, three to five stories — mudsill to roof.

Senior & assisted living

Memory care and congregate housing, framed to the fire-rated, acoustic, and inspection standards these projects demand.

Commercial shells

Retail, childcare, and institutional wood shells — parapets, towers, storefront and canopy framing.

Shear & structural

Shear walls, holdown and tiedown systems, drag straps, and the full hardware package installed to schedule.

Engineered wood

I-joists, glulam, LVL and pre-fabricated trusses — furnished and installed, coordinated with the deferred submittals.

Time & material

Documented, field-signed T&M tickets, so change work is captured and closed out clean.

Trusted

Built for Southern California’s best.

More than 75 contracted projects across Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego.
