For over half a century, Ray Watt and his organization have consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of skill and dedication to develop highly successful commercial and residential projects throughout the United States.  The success of Watt’s developments has been achieved by a blending of entrepreneurial spirit and capital with a steadfast knowledge of the marketplace and the expertise of a large in-house support organization.

The origins of Watt Companies dates back to 1947 when Ray Watt started building homes for returning GI’s in Southern California.  Over the years, the organization has grown through the successful completion of numerous large scale residential housing tracts, high-rise office buildings, hotels, industrial parks and drug/grocery-anchored shopping centers.  Due to this continued success, the Watt name, recognition and reputation have become prominent in Southern California real estate and beyond. 

Today – more than 100,000 homes and apartments, eight million square feet of office and industrial space, 50 shopping centers and three major hotels later – the Watt Companies continues in the Watt tradition, with a team of visionary real estate professionals dedicated to providing a full range of development, asset management, and investment and advisory services for homebuyers, tenants, partners, investors and the communities in which Watt operates. 

The Watt Companies are propelled by Ray Watt’s sound, prudent management philosophy that always puts the needs of customers first and an exceptional team of leaders who, over the years, have navigated successfully through every conceivable economic circumstance. 

The Watt Companies have been built on reputation and relationships, and look to the future proudly and confidently with a commitment to maintaining and nurturing that foundation.
