The Bedford Group was founded by Charles Quarles and has become one of the leading real estate development firms serving the needs of urban communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.

A second generation builder, Mr. Quarles began building residential and commercial projects in and around Los Angeles with his father in the late 1970s. Convinced that the Los Angeles urban market presented a unique development opportunity, he eventually created The Bedford Group to concentrate on geographic areas that were overlooked by the traditional development community.

Today, The Bedford Group has earned a reputation for developing and building quality infill products that provide a sense of home and community to a wide socioeconomic cross section of the Los Angeles community.

The firm has a proven track record of experience and expertise in urban infill development with products ranging from sophisticated multifamily and senior tax credit projects for the affordable-income consumer, to high end condominium, townhome, single family, and mixed-use communities for the urban homebuyer.

While Bedford is based in Southern California, the firm has demonstrated its ability to export its know-how and business model with developments in Oakland, Las Vegas, and greater Philadelphia. Currently, the firm has new communities under construction totaling more than $140 million, and additional projects in development totaling in excess of $100 million. Community types include condominiums, townhomes and mixed-use residential communities with office/retail components.

The Bedford Group's continued success is the cumulative result of its commitment to serving an overlooked market with quality developments, a policy of corporate expansion, and the dedication and leadership of its Executive Team.

With a workforce of over 90 disciplined and motivated professionals, The Bedford Group is ready to meet the challenges that confront a multi-faceted corporation in today's economy.
