Built to Last.Est. 2015
Commercial real estate, guided by disciplined judgment.
For organizations, investors and communities that need more depth than a generalist and more flexibility than an institution.
Personal in relationship.
Rigorous in execution.
Bold in pursuit.
Our relationships outlast any single transaction. We pair incisive analysis with practical experience, and we work through every decision alongside our clients and partners. We find a way when others walk away, and we are at our best when the work is complex. We exist to build financial, human and social wealth by serving people well, and seek to leave each stronger for the generations that follow.
The large exposed wood trusses in this PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) center are joined with knife plates, steel plates set inside the timber, so the attachment points stay hidden and only the wood shows.
Depth of knowledge, shaped by experience.
Shared expertise across every service. One relationship, the whole firm behind it.
What our brokers see in the market every day sharpens how our development team evaluates each project. What our asset managers see over years of ownership informs every lease and sale we advise on. When we work alongside a city or county, the whole firm supports that effort: our brokers help bring the businesses a community is missing, and our development experience helps turn its plans into projects that get built. Where most firms keep these teams separate, ours work as one, so each client has the full range of our experience behind their project.
One system.
One team.
Every resource on your behalf.
A developer’s eye, a broker’s market knowledge and an owner’s discipline, on every decision you make.
Excavating the detention basin at Sequoia View Shopping Center, one of our early projects. We worked with the City of Orange Cove to acquire city-owned property, structured the deal creatively and delivered a Dollar General, AutoZone and Burger King. We still own the one remaining pad.
Selective about what we take on. Committed once we do.
We take on work where our judgment can make a difference, and we are willing to say no when yes would be easier. Once we commit, we see it through.

As general partner and sponsor, we developed a turnkey, build-to-suit PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) center for WelbeHealth and a dialysis clinic for Fresenius. With interest rates, cap rates and construction costs rising and debt harder to secure, we used creative structures to complete the project successfully, and both buildings remain in our portfolio today.
