How Tenants, Owners, Developers & Investors Weathered the past year

Peter Dowley

SVP, Investments, Kilroy Realty

Bruce Thomas

Mr. Thomas was the Managing Partner of Thomas Advisory Group LLC. TAG is a full-service real estate development, brokerage and advisory firm specializing in commercial, office, industrial, hotel and resort development projects. Mr. Thomas was also The Lead Acquisition and Development Consultant in California for Urban America (UA), a real estate investment equity fund that has purchased over 1 billion dollars in assets. UA’s main focus is acquiring and developing real estate in urban and underserved markets. As a seasoned industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in acquisition, development and management activities related to a variety of development projects, he has helped the Urban America Fund raise $400 million dollars from institutional pension funds like Calpers. Mr. Thomas’ experience on the fund-raising side with investors (pension funds, insurance companies and banks) for Fund II, will bode well for the any BioMed campus. His ability to bring institutional capital is a value added to the BioMed Development team, along with his over 30 years of development and construction management. Mr. Thomas entered the BioMed space because of his knowledge of the need for new multi facility campus’ throughout California, as well as his desire to invest in projects that will affect change in the community. This was over twelve years ago when he began his partnership with Dr. Phil Hart on the USC/LA County Biomed campus development Request for proposals. Mr. Thomas believes the sound fiscal investments can be made in the inner city & underserved communities and even suburban markets can be combined with education, medicine, technology and job creation. The proposed BioMed campus in Los Angles is an excellent opportunity for banks, pension funds, and insurance companies to begin to reinvest into a needy community through a BioMed Fund and/or directly into the project as a direct investment. Currently The BioMed Development Group is looking at working with the City of Phoenix in the continued development of a downtown BioMed campus for Thomas’ alma mater ASU (Arizona State University). He was the first African American varsity athlete to letter in a major sport and get a degree in construction engineering. He sits on the Board of Directors for the City of Riverside Chamber of Commerce EasthillsDivision, he also is on the Advisory Board for the Sam Williams Foundation, a youth outreach program.
