Mr. Ohren is considered to have been one of the most successful contrarian investors and developers in the Western United States of the past thirty years. He co-founded Pacifica Capital Group in 1982 and established it as one of the most respected real estate organizations in Los Angeles.

Mr. Ohren’s value oriented investment approach became legendary in Los Angeles due to its success in timing real estate cycles and investing at opportune times. The approach is firmly grounded in thorough, uncompromised research, a strategy which formed the foundation for his investments. He created Pacifica’s business plan of acquiring assets when the market had fallen out of favor, creating a portfolio of institutional quality properties and disposing of them when the market recovered.

Mr. Ohren started his career in the brokerage industry, where he quickly became a top producing broker in Southern California from 1977 through 1981. He specialized in large industrial and office transactions and represented several Fortune 50 companies, including the major aerospace companies in El Segundo.

Mr. Ohren graduated from UCLA with a Political Science degree and was active in civic affairs, including serving two terms on the Centinela Valley Union High School District Board of Education. In addition, he founded The Steven Ohren Foundation, a non-profit organization assisting elderly Jewish individuals in need of financial assistance.
