Commercial property management across Southern California.
Principal-led operations for industrial, office, business-park, and corporate-campus owners in Orange County and Los Angeles — from a family firm that has been doing it since 1987.
Property management for owners who want continuity, not turnover.
For four decades, we have managed commercial property for owners who plan in decades, not quarters. Most of the buildings on our roster have been in the same family for a generation. Most of the people running them here have been on our team longer than an account rep typically stays anywhere.
The reporting is written to be read by an owner, not a portfolio committee.
Full-service property management, every format.
Tenant relations and retention
Daily contact with the people paying rent. Lease administration, service-request handling, renewal conversations that start well before the term ends. We measure success in retention, not turnover.
Financial reporting and budgeting
Monthly owner reports that a human can read — income, expenses, variance to budget, and what needs owner attention. Annual budgets built from the property up, not from a template.
Preventive maintenance and capex planning
Written PM schedules for mechanical, electrical, roofing, and life-safety systems. Multi-year capex projections tied to what the asset actually needs — not a boilerplate replacement calendar.
Vendor and contract management
Long-standing relationships with the trades who actually show up in Orange County, LA, and the Vernon / Commerce / City of Industry corridor. We negotiate the contracts, we ride the invoices, and we cut vendors who stop performing.
Compliance and inspections
Life-safety inspections, ADA reviews, local ordinance changes, and the documentation that keeps buildings in good standing. Handled quietly, tracked in reporting, escalated only when there's a decision for the owner to make.
Owner reporting cadence
Monthly financials plus a written narrative on what happened at the property and what's coming next. Ad-hoc reporting on specific decisions — a capex approval, a tenant negotiation, a compliance finding — happens in real time.
Why owners trust us with their assets.
- Four decades of continuity
- Family-owned and hands-on since 1987. Some of the buildings on our roster have been there for more than two decades. Tenants, vendors, and municipal contacts around each asset know our team by name.
- Family-owned governance
- No portfolio quotas. No pressure to feed a national growth number. Decisions about your building get made by the people whose family name is on the door.
- Principal-led on every asset
- Every engagement has a principal accountable for it. Reporting comes from someone who has walked the building, not from someone who reads the report the first time you do.

Somers Warner Business Park — long-tenure multi-tenant management.
Somers Warner is a multi-tenant Orange County business park managed by T.C. Collins under a long-term owner relationship. Day-to-day tenant operations, common-area coordination, preventive maintenance, and monthly owner reporting have run through our team for years — the kind of continuity that makes tenant renewals a conversation and not a negotiation.
What owners ask us about property management.
What is a typical property management fee structure?
A percentage of collected income is the industry norm, with the exact rate scaled to the property's operating complexity and the reporting cadence the owner needs. We quote per engagement — a small multi-tenant industrial park and a 24/7 refrigerated distribution facility are not the same job. TODO(cmo): confirm whether we want to publish a rate range here.Can you take over property management from another manager?
Yes, and we do it regularly. Onboarding runs 30 to 60 days depending on how well the outgoing manager's records translate — we audit vendor contracts, tenant files, lease abstracts, and open work orders first so nothing drops on the handoff.What kind of reporting will I see each month?
A monthly operating report with income and expense variance against budget, occupancy and delinquency, capital-project status, and a written narrative from the property manager. Owners with multiple assets under management see this rolled up into a portfolio view.How do you handle tenant communication and lease administration?
One named property manager per property — the same person the tenant reaches when they call, walks the site, and closes out the work orders. Lease administration (CAM reconciliations, escalations, renewals, estoppels) sits with the same team so tenants don't get bounced between offices.Do you manage 24/7 or specialty operational assets?
Yes. Temperature-controlled, food-grade, and specialty industrial assets sit inside our [Specialty Facility Management](/services/specialty-facility-management) practice, but the day-to-day PM function is on the same team.What geography do you cover?
Orange County and Los Angeles County are our core, with cold-storage work reaching Vernon, Commerce, City of Industry, and the western Inland Empire. We are Newport Beach based and boots-on-the-ground for every property.
