Coastline Equity: History, Leadership and Property Management

John David Sarmiento • May 6, 2025

Coastline Equity manages commercial and multifamily properties in Southern California. Its history began with lending in 1972 and developed into professional property management in 1989. Today, Anthony A. Luna leads the company as owner and chief executive officer.

For someone learning about the firm, that history provides context. The current management work involves leasing, maintenance, financial reporting and communication with the people who own, live in or operate businesses at the properties.

From lending to property management

According to Coastline’s published company history, George Mayer founded the firm in 1972 with a focus on institutional and private-party lending. In 1985, it expanded into real estate asset development across Southern California. The transition to professional property management followed in 1989.

The same timeline describes property management becoming the primary focus in 2000. Anthony A. Luna joined as a partner in 2017 to help expand third-party management and improve technology integration and core processes. Those changes explain how a firm that began with lending came to focus on day-to-day property operations.

Leadership and a published contribution

Coastline’s current leadership page identifies Anthony as owner and chief executive officer. He contributed to the December 2022 Forbes Business Council panel, 15 Smart Things to Do When Dealing With an Unhappy Customer.

In that panel, Anthony emphasizes attention to individual customer interactions and the team’s role in rebuilding trust. The article is a Forbes Councils member contribution, published as a Council Post.

What the company’s current management work includes

Coastline’s current services page describes leasing and property operations, maintenance oversight, reporting and property planning. The team inspects properties, supervises vendors and tracks maintenance. Monthly reports cover leasing, past-due balances, maintenance and differences from budget.

Commercial work includes reviewing common area maintenance and costs passed through to tenants. Multifamily work includes renewals, occupancy, apartment turns and maintenance coordination. The property type and the scope agreed with the owner shape the assignment.

The written proposal identifies included services, fees and exclusions. It also establishes reporting expectations and spending decisions requiring owner approval. An owner considering management can use those details to understand how the work will be handled at their property.

Community and long-term ownership

The company’s About page describes community involvement, economic and youth development, and long-term responsibility as part of its purpose. It describes properties as legacy assets and emphasizes the people affected by management decisions.

For a property, the practical questions include its condition, upcoming maintenance, lease renewals and the owner’s longer-term plans. Those questions give the legacy idea an operating purpose.
