Pacifica Capital Group is a fully integrated real estate investment and development firm.   Pacifica is widely regarded as one of the most successful and disciplined opportunistic real estate investors in the Western United States.  Since its founding in 1982, Pacifica has acquired and/or developed approximately 15 million square feet, predominantly in Southern California and Colorado.

Pacifica is a multi-disciplinary firm specializing in acquisition, development, asset management, property management and leasing. These services are used for its own balance sheet activities as well as for third party institutional and private clients.

The firm invests its capital alongside its long time private and institutional investors which have included Apollo Real Estate Advisors, CS First Boston, GMAC and GE Real Estate.  Pacifica’s contrarian investment strategy focuses primarily on amassing significant real estate portfolios in undervalued real estate markets. The firm’s disciplined approach is to acquire assets only when it can achieve significant discounts to intrinsic value. Proprietary research and an extensive relationship network allow Pacifica to identify markets and asset classes that are out of favor but where the economic fundamentals portend an imminent recovery. 

An essential ingredient in Pacifica’s investment strategy is adding value through aggressive asset management. Once the market returns to favor among mainstream investors and the firm has successfully executed its asset management strategy, Pacifica may package the individual assets into a portfolio to attractively position them for sale to an institutional investor. This trademark strategy has resulted in superior, risk-adjusted returns for Pacifica’s investors.
