The apartment community features fourteen newly renovated rental homes with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floorplans.
VF Developments, LLC acquired the Los Angeles multifamily property located at 111 N Normandie Avenue, Los Angeles, California with the plan of repositioning and adding capital improvements. 111 N Normandie Avenue, located in the heart of central Los Angeles, features a 14-unit, two-story low-rise building with exterior enhancements that include a 1960s retro dingbat sign that complements the natural materials used.

Normandie Avenue, located just minutes from the 101 Freeway and Larchmont Village, features a fourteen-unit, two-story low-rise building with enhanced modern architecture and a gray cement shade base and accents of earth tone colors.
Carefully restored and designed by a renowned LA designer, these late 1960s modern luxury rental homes feature keyless entry door locks to spacious one, two and three-bedroom floor plans with newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen boasts sparkling white stone quartz countertops with brand new self-closing cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel refrigerators with matching gas cooktop with oven and microwave. iRing doorbells with a smart home video security camera are also included.

This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot. 111 North Normandie Avenue is a 14-minute walk from the Metro B Line (Red) at the Vermont / Beverly Station stop.

VF Developments LLC, led by Victoria Vu, restored these rental homes to its original 1960s condition with upgraded enhancements and features. Ms. Vu, managing partner of VF Developments, LLC, is a fashion designer turned real estate developer specializing in distressed multifamily apartments throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Ms. Vu graduated from The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
Ms. Vu stated “Restoring a 1960s era apartment community to its original condition was a challenge as well as a treat. These luxury rental homes feature key-less entry door locks entering you into spacious one, two, and three-bedroom floorplans. There are bold designer touches throughout from the white stone quartz kitchen countertops upgraded with high-end stainless steel Whirlpool refrigerators with matching appliance package. Our bathrooms have been fully renovated with the spa as inspiration. Pebble floors complement the brand-new oversized tubs with glass shower doors and designer gold hardware. This property is truly a gem with its central location to hip Echo Park and Silverlake, Hollywood, and thriving Downtown Los Angeles, and everything that Los Angeles has to offer.”
James L. Kemple, a U.S military veteran, general contractor, and the owner of Patriot Painting & Construction, Inc., completed the exterior and interior renovations. He noted “We were able to legally reconfigure the original studio, one-, and two-bedroom floor plans to one-, two-, and three-bedroom layout like our project at 920 Everett Street in Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC. This greatly helps maximizing the space for our future residents and assisting with the housing shortage. The team that completed the renovations on the units were entirely locally based minority vendors, employees, and contractors. This was the same team we used on the reconfigurations at 920 Everett Street near Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC. We are proud to create jobs in the USC and DTLA area for minorities, significantly improve the community, and provide more affordable housing.”
Victoria Vu commented, “We are truly grateful for the opportunity to complete the renovations on 111 N Normandie, bring the property to market, and lease it up to provide much needed affordable housing to the city of Los Angeles. This project was similar to our project at 920 Everett Street near Downtown Los Angeles in the Chinatown area where we were able to legally convert a two bedroom to a three bedroom to maximize the space for our future residents. We strive to provide our residents with class A building finishes at affordable rents. As a first generation Asian American, myself and the team strive to enhance the communities around us and create modern living spaces for our future residents to call home.”
Kim Vu, renovation and maintenance manager for VF Developments, LLC, added, “After successful renovations at 920 Everett Street in Chinatown and 1980 Park Grove near USC we are excited to bring these units to market and welcome in our future residents to enjoy the space we have created. The apartment homes are high-quality finish with all new appliances.”

From Setbacks to Strategy: Just Digital Marketing Launches in Irvine to Redefine What It Means to Be an Agency Partner
Just Digital Marketing, based in Irvine, CA, blends AI, data, and strategy with a human touch to help businesses scale purposefully.

Irvine, California, United States, 4th Apr 2025 – In an industry full of flashy sales decks and underwhelming follow-through, a new agency has arrived with a different kind of story—and a whole new kind of purpose. Meet Just Digital Marketing, a strategy-first, data-driven digital marketing agency built by partners who know firsthand how hard business can be—and how powerful marketing really is when done right.
Just Digital Marketing is a new agency launched in Irvine, CA, which is redefining what it means to be a true agency partner. Built by seasoned marketers with over $100M in managed ad spend, the agency blends strategy, data, and AI with a deeply human approach. Born from personal and professional resilience, Just Digital Marketing offers expert-led, hands-on marketing powered by its proprietary Surge Method—helping growth-stage businesses break through and scale with purpose.
The team behind Just Digital Marketing isn’t new to this game. They’ve helped clients manage over $100 million in ad spend, scale startups to exits, and grow companies through plateaus. But over the last few years, their journey wasn’t just professional—it was deeply personal.
After running successful agencies and working with hundreds of clients across the country, the founding duo faced a wave of personal and financial hardships: a string of heartbreaking losses, failed IVF treatments, and the closure of one of their businesses due to the pandemic. It was a hard reset, both emotionally and financially.
“We had to ask ourselves—what really matters? Who are we really trying to help?” said co-founder S.J. Daneau. “We knew we were great at growing companies. That had never changed. But we wanted to build something that felt different—more intentional, more real, more human.”
While one business closed, their digital marketing work never stopped. In fact, throughout those tough years, they were quietly helping clients hit record-breaking numbers, enter new markets, and exit their companies for millions. That’s what planted the seed for Just Digital Marketing—a chance to rebuild with more heart, more clarity, and a sharper eye on what actually works today.
Just Digital Marketing is now officially launched in Irvine, CA, serving Orange County and the greater Southern California region.
This isn’t your typical agency model. Every account is run by experienced marketers—no junior handoffs, no smoke and mirrors. At the core of their approach is the Surge Method, a four-step growth framework rooted in data, AI-powered insights, and modern consumer behavior.
“Consumer attention has changed. The tools have changed. But most agencies haven’t,” said Daneau. “We use the latest technology—AI, predictive data models, deep analytics—but what makes us different is that we actually care. We take it personally when our clients win.”
Just Digital Marketing’s mission is simple: deliver high-level strategy, hands-on partnership, and measurable results to companies that are ready to grow. Whether a business is scaling fast, stuck at a plateau, or looking to rebuild after a tough season—Just Digital Marketing brings the clarity, structure, and experience to help make the next chapter their best one.
“We’ve had clients triple revenue, launch into new markets, build teams from scratch, or finally feel like they understand their own numbers,” said Daneau. “That kind of growth—it changes lives. Seeing the confidence come back, watching a business owner feel back in control, knowing we played a part in that… that’s what drives us. We’re all in on the people behind the business.”
Just Digital Marketing is now accepting a limited number of new client partnerships across Orange County and Southern California.
Discovery calls and executive-led strategy sessions can be scheduled through their website https://justdigitalmarketing.com/
For any questions, call +1 (949) 987-4293 or send an email to media@justdigitalmarketing.com.
About Just Digital Marketing
Just Digital Marketing is a strategy-driven digital agency based in Irvine, CA. Founded by two long-time agency partners with 15+ years of experience and over $100M in managed ad spend, the agency helps growth-stage businesses scale using a hands-on, data-informed approach powered by its proprietary Surge Method. Just Digital Marketing focuses on delivering real results—not vanity metrics—with a 97% client retention rate to prove it.
