A Rich History
From land acquisition, ranching and agricultural pursuits in the 1800s to land development, vertical construction, inventive redevelopment and investment management, Bixby Land Company continues to build upon its legacy of value creation.
1649
The Bixby portfolio begins with a 16-acre land grant in Massachusetts earned by Joseph Bixby, the first Bixby to arrive in the new world.
1660 to 1760
The next three Bixby generations grow the 16-acres into a sizable portfolio in Massachusetts.
1770 to 1855
The Bixby portfolio expands into Maine and Iowa through land acquisitions and land grants for war service.
1850s
Lewellyn Bixby and Jotham Bixby, along with many other family members, come to California seeking new opportunities for growth.
1896
Bixby Land Company was founded as a family owned and operated company in Southern California focusing on ranching and agriculture.
1910 to 1928
Bixby Land Company evolved from ranching and agriculture to commercial development, building the first Sears store in the Long Beach area to accommodate automobiles. Bixby Land Company built some of the first gas stations for General Petroleum, Shell and Texaco, and developed business parks, car dealerships, hotels and shopping centers.
1929 to 1996
Bixby Land Company overcomes challenges due to the loss of dairy herds from hoof and mouth disease, the Depression, and the damage to commercial properties in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Aided by the economic effects of World War II, subdivision land was sold and overtime the remaining acreage was developed. The Company prospered through its commercial projects.
1996
Subsequent to its centennial, Bixby Land Company embarked on a program to diversify its holdings and participate more actively in the broader real estate market. The farmland was sold and the existing portfolio was upgraded through sales and exchanges.
2005

Today
Bixby Land Company has grown with its investments in select Tier I & Tier II U.S. Markets. The company wholly owns and operates a portfolio of high-quality industrial and office properties and is actively engaged with institutional investors through joint ventures and funds to purchase and intensively redevelop properties.
Environmental
Bixby Land Company’s environmental initiative ensures that developments have increased operating efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and minimize the environmental footprint in waste, water and procurement. We collaborate with vendors, service providers and customers to ensure that all sustainable design practices are financially reasonable and create economic value.


HIGH-REFLECTANCE ROOF MEMBRANES
The white thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roof coatings, ‘Cool Roofs’, are more energy efficient than traditional EPDM rubber roofs. These roof coatings prolong the life of the original roof structure and reduce landfill waste created by the lifecycle of traditional roofing.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR UTILIZATION
Open-outdoor floor plans have been designed to elevate the experience of both customers and visitors. The fresh air contributes to the health and satisfaction of those within the building as opposed to those dwelling within a strictly closed building. Because of the innovative ventilation system, buildings in certain climates can go throughout the day with no energy load.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHTING & HVAC SYSTEMS
All lighting and HVAC retrofits create future energy savings and improve ROI while protecting the environment by reducing the consumption of energy. Motion sensors, dimmers, natural daylight, and long-lasting LED lamps also play a part in reducing energy consumption, and the company also adheres to the guidelines for the disposal of replaced materials.

WATER CONSERVATION
Drought tolerant and low water plants are
the standard at every Bixby property. Irrigation
systems that sense saturated soils and
weather conditions are also installed to reduce
the use of unnecessary water usage. The
properties also utilize reclaimed water for
exterior landscaping whenever feasible.

CHARGING STATIONS
Electric vehicle charging stations have been
installed at select locations to support clean
electricity and other alternative fuel and
transportation options. Bicycle storage units
are also available at Bixby properties to
encourage green transportation.

GREEN CLEANING
Many vendors have established a “Green
Cleaning” requirement, which includes
using green cleaning product and restroom
supply products made from recycled materials
therefore, Bixby properties adhere to these
requirements.

RECYCLING PROGRAMS
Bixby regularly schedules electronic waste
pick-up and disposal programs. Recycling
programs have also been implemented to
reduce landfill waste and limit the use of
natural resources.
