Bedford Group

The Bedford Group of Companies was founded by Charles O. Quarles, and has become one of the leading Real Estate Development Firms serving the housing and commercial needs of urban communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles Area.

A Second-Generation Community Builder, Mr. Quarles began building residential and commercial projects in and around Los Angeles as a youth for his father’s construction company. After earning his MBA, Mr. Quarles did a short stint as an Accountant with Price Waterhouse and Company, followed by a career in the banking industry, where he specialized in restructuring credits for Wells Fargo Bank. After several years in banking, Mr. Quarles joined his father’s construction firm, EAC Construction, where he served as President for several years until 1980.

As a natural progression, in the early 80’s, Mr. Quarles formed The Bedford Group of Companies with the goal of creating a diversified entity with the capacity to vertically integrate the real estate development process.

To date, Bedford’s has grown to develop thousands of units, and employ an executive leadership group with over 100 years of combined professional experience in California Real Estate Development, specializing in the acquisition, land planning, entitlement, construction, and sales and marketing of urban infill projects.
