Our Company
Founded in 2005, Cardiff Development Partners (CDP) is a fully integrated development company based in Westlake Village, California. The firm specializes in the acquisition, development and redevelopment of neighborhood shopping centers in California and single tenant retail and healthcare properties nationally. The firm and its principals have been involved in the development of over 20 projects representing more than 2 million square feet of retail and healthcare properties that are occupied by some of the nation’s most popular tenants including Home Depot, Kohls, Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less, Urban Outfitters, Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Chase Bank, Starbucks, and Davita.

Our Clients
We Value Our Relationships
From my first deal with Tom over fifteen years ago until today, I have always found Tom to be a dealmaker focused on completing transactions that meet the goals of all parties. A smart and tough advocate for his clients, Tom can be counted on to quickly assess needs and chart a strategy of desired outcomes for the most complex of deals.
Cardiff Development has been a great partner to the City of Oxnard. CDP has developed numerous projects in Oxnard. Cardiff’s approach to planning and their genuine interest in what is best for the community is commendable. They were excellent at listening to the community’s needs and incorporating their input into the project. The end result are high-quality properties of which we are all very proud!
I have known Tom for well over 20 years and have a great deal of respect for him. We’ve worked together on numerous lease transactions and I’ve always found him to be very knowledgeable and dedicated to meeting the client’s objectives. Tom is a true professional with the highest level of integrity.
It is an absolute pleasure to work with Tom and the Cardiff Development team. Tom is a true professional with the unique combination of strong development expertise and great people skills. He also has the ability to strategically and creatively work through complex leasing and development transactions. I look forward to doing many more deals with Tom and the Cardiff team.
