Why MLR

Choosing who builds your home is personal.

Led by founder Eli Bachar, whose three decades in luxury residential development have earned him a respected name in the industry, we bring a level of care, precision and creativity that reflects the trust our clients place in us.

Over the years our work has quietly attracted a discerning clientele, including A-list celebrities and industry leaders who value discretion, craftsmanship and personalized service.

What truly sets us apart is how we build: not just homes, but relationships. We listen, we collaborate, and we guide, because your vision is our blueprint. And when that vision comes to life with clarity and beauty, that is when we know we have done what we set out to do.

At MLR, your home is more than a project. It is a legacy, crafted with heart, shaped by experience, and designed to be lived in for generations to come.

The process

From first conversation
to the keys.

01

Consultation

A complimentary conversation about the vision, the site, the way you live, and what the project needs to be. No obligation, and no sales pressure.

02

Design

Architecture, layout and elevation developed with you, so the plan reflects how the house is actually going to be used before anything is committed to.

03

Selections

Materials, finishes, fixtures and lighting, hand-selected together. This is where a house starts to feel like yours, and where most of the detail lives.

04

Pre-construction

Permitting, engineering, scheduling and budget. The unglamorous stage that determines whether the rest of the project runs calmly.

05

Build

Our team manages every trade on site, with regular walkthroughs and open communication so you always know where the project stands.

06

Delivery

Final finishes, systems, punch list and handover. Most MLR homes complete within 12 to 18 months, and we stay reachable after the keys.

Frequently asked

Questions worth asking
before you build.

How long has your company been in business?
MLR Development has been building luxury homes for over 15 years. What began as a small, hands-on operation has grown into a trusted name in custom home development, known for our attention to detail, thoughtful design, and deep commitment to quality. While our portfolio has evolved, our values have stayed the same: build beautifully, listen closely, and treat every home as if it were our own.
What does “MLR” stand for?
MLR represents the initials of the founder and lead developer's three children: Milan, Liam, and Roy. Naming the company after them was his way of honoring family and creating a legacy rooted in love, dedication, and growth. It is more than a name, it is a reflection of what matters most. Family has always been his greatest source of inspiration, which is why every project is approached with the same care and commitment. At MLR, homes are built for other families to grow, thrive, and create lasting memories of their own.
What types of properties do you specialize in?
We specialize in the development of high-end custom homes, luxury estates, penthouses, and private villas. Whether you envision a sleek modern retreat or a timeless, classically inspired residence, we tailor each project to reflect your personal style and the way you live. Every home is designed with intention and built to the highest standards of craftsmanship, comfort, and elegance.
Can I customize the design of my home?
Absolutely. Every home we build is one-of-a-kind. Our team works closely with you to shape every element. From layout and architectural style to finishes and functionality, every detail is designed to feel distinctly yours.
How long does the homebuilding process typically take?
The timeline can vary depending on the scale and complexity of the design, but most of our custom homes are completed within 12 to 18 months. From the initial design phase to final delivery, we take a highly organized, transparent approach, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way. Our goal is to make the experience seamless, thoughtful, and aligned with your vision from start to finish.
