Pacifica Capital Group’s investment approach is to acquire or develop income-generating properties at opportune times during shifts in market cycles, build a portfolio of quality assets, and ultimately dispose of these assets when the market has recovered. Exceptional value can be created for investors through Pacifica’s expertise in identifying underappreciated markets primed for recovery.

From 2005-2008, Pacifica Capital Group held a strong belief that much of the real estate market, particularly in Southern California, was severely overvalued. Pacifica profitably exited its most recent investments through a portfolio sale near the top of the market, in Q4 2004. Since that time, Pacifica chose to maintain its investment discipline and instead focus on fee-based projects while refraining from pursuing new acquisitions or developments. In doing so, the firm was able to successfully navigate through the aftermath of the real estate market’s crash and is now ideally positioned to capitalize on distressed investment opportunities.

Pacifica Capital Group’s strategy is centered on identifying undervalued real estate assets where the firm’s competitive advantages result in a unique strength, either operationally or proprietary research based. The firm’s strong relationship network often results in superior acquisition opportunities, often on an off-market basis.
