CT Realty Investors Relocates Headquarters to Aliso Viejo

CT Realty Investors Relocates to Aliso Viejo in Expanded Facility After 15 Years in Newport Beach, Changes Name to CT Realty Investors

ALISO VIEJO, CALIF. - After 15 years in Newport Beach, Calif., Southern California-based CT Realty Investors has relocated its headquarters to new office space in Aliso Viejo, Calif. CT Realty Investors, which changed its name from CT Realty Corp. in January, is a well-known real estate investment brand founded in 1994 by Robert Campbell and U.T. Thompson and counts many elite Orange County residents among its shareholders and investors. The name change and corresponding new logo coincides with the commencement of its latest private equity investment fund offering, and is suggestive of the company’s investment and acquisition strategy as opposed to construction or new development.

Earlier last year, CT Realty Investors brought longtime investor James “Watty” Watson on board as CEO of the company to manage its ambitious growth plans along with new addition Carter Ewing as an executive vice president. The trio of Campbell, Watson and Ewing will lead the new fund capitalization and investment strategy for CT Realty Investors going forward. Ewing was a partner with Watson at the Koll Co. for many years and was involved locally with a number of other investment partnerships, including Peninsula Retail, Howser Ewing, and Arnel & Affiliates.

Since 1994, CT Realty Investors has raised capital and invested in a broad base of real estate investments through 10 independent CT-sponsored and managed Funds. During its history, CT Realty Investors cycled $2.5 billion worth of product in 170 transactions through its former headquarters building developed by CT on Birch Street, which it will be vacating for the new premises in Aliso Viejo.

In addition to its focus on commercial real estate investing, CT operates four separate discretionary Funds that own and operate self-storage facilities throughout the southland and the self-storage operations will accompany the CT move to Aliso Viejo. Further, CT, in its joint venture with CT/KDF, is an active sponsor in the business of placing New Markets Tax Credits via its allocation from the U.S. Treasury Department (“NMTC”). The CT/KDF team responsible for the NMTC platform will also be joining the CT Realty Investors team in the move to Aliso Viejo.

Effective Feb. 1, CT Realty Investors and its operating groups will be located at 65 Enterprise, Aliso Viejo. They will be located on the first floor of the northern-most building Phase 2 of the Summit project in the “TechSpace” building, a company with which CT Realty Investors has a strategic alliance.
