Marisha Morris’ love for real estate began while living with her grandparents in a 1921 craftsman style home, and watching an addition being constructed in the early 80s. This love continues to inspire her academically and professionally.
Ms. Morris is the Owner and Principal of Land Baroness. She is a Licensed Real Estate Agent, a Commercial Real Estate Broker, a Land Use Consultant on P3, TOC/TOD, HPOZ and a ULI UrbanPlan facilitator.
As a Community Stakeholder she works closely with her Neighborhood Council reviewing land use projects, advising developers on their impact to the community, gaining neighborhood buy-in of projects, thereby qualifying the developers and builders for projects along thoroughfares and/or Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZ) in her community.
She earned a Transit Orient Development Certificate, while a member of Metro’s Transportation Business Advisory Council, and has consulted on projects such as Metro Expo Line, Crenshaw/ LAX, and most recently, the Purple Line Extension Phase 2B, LA River Project/Slauson Corridor, and Gold Line Extension to Pomona/Montclair.
Marisha volunteers with ULI UrbanPlan, a realistic, engaging exercise in which participants—high school students, university students, or public officials—learn the fundamental forces that affect development in our communities. She has facilitated UrbanPlan workshops for the City of Fullerton, the City of Huntington Beach, Councilmembers and Aldermen representing the State of Alabama, and students at Orange Coast College.
Her recent investments include several development projects in Houston that includes housing, commercial and retail space; a multifamily project in New Orleans; short term rental properties in Shreveport; “Tiny Homes” for purchase and rent in Memphis; and a co-working space in Atlanta.
Marisha also earned a Construction Management Certificate from Turner Construction’s Construction Management Program.
She is a member of:
- Metro Los Angeles Transportation Business Advisory Council (TBAC)
- Urban Land Institute (ULI) UrbanPlan Facilitator
- Land Use, Local Government and Global Committee for California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.)
Marisha’s motto is “Look down at the ground you are standing on. Someone owns it. It should be you."
