The Bakewell Company

Development

The Bakewell Company is a full service real estate development company, operating in the State of California as a Limited Liability Company.  The Bakewell Company has developed, built, sold and/or managed over 4,000,000 square feet of retail, office, industrial, and housing projects. The Bakewell Company’s developments have often become the cornerstone and catalyst for community revitalization and economic investment throughout California.

Having the vision and foresight to believe in an area long before others have the courage to develop is the hallmark of The Bakewell Company. Believing in the residents of a community and being committed to giving those residents the resources that are afforded other communities is what puts The Bakewell Company in a class all its own.

The Bakewell Company’s historical $100 million dollar acquisition of the 34 acre, 834,772 square foot Hawthorne Plaza, located in Los Angeles’ South Bay, which stands as one of the most significant retail purchases made by an African American in the United States to date. With trade areas of more than 160,000 households, its potential impact on jobs and revenue loom large for the once vibrant aerospace dominated community. This transaction prompted a personal visit from Mr. Bakewell’s late friend and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Ron Brown, where Brown remarked, ” Hawthorne Plaza is a blueprint for success between public and private sector partnerships.”
