New Home Builder: Decron Properties

Decron's origins begin in the 1950s when Jack M. Nagel first arrived in Southern California. A Polish-born immigrant and Holocaust survivor, Jack arrived in America, first to New York and then eventually onto Los Angeles, with no more than the shirt on his back. Sensing opportunity in Southern California's rapid growth and determined to succeed in his new home country, Jack began building single family homes for US Army veterans. With time and tremendous determination, his business grew and prospered. The company went on to build thousands of homes in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. Eventually, the business transitioned to include multifamily residential apartments. In the 1980s, while he continued to develop income properties, he expanded into retail and office properties. Not content to merely work as a developer, Jack operated all of his completed projects together with his son, David, who joined him in 1981 following his graduation from New York University. Today, Decron Properties Corp. is a diversified real estate company specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of multifamily apartment buildings, commercial shopping centers, office buildings, and marinas. It manages more than 4,800 apartment units, with another 460 under development, and more than 3 million square feet of office and retail space across California and Nevada. The company has evolved into a $1.5 billion enterprise with 55 different projects and communities in its portfolio, all of which are owned by Decron affiliates. At Decron Properties, we take ownership of, responsibility for, and pride in all our projects. This approach allows us to create lasting value for our residents, tenants, employees, and investors. Our company experienced a storied first 55 years. We look forward to continued growth and success in the decades to come.
