Kravetz Enterprises began its development process through design construction and syndication of multi-tenant and residential development. In the mid 70's, the emphasis of the company switched to commercial and recreational multi-use development. In 1976, Realty Bancorp (RBC) was acquired. RBC, which specialized in the service aspects of the development business, including leasing, property management and financing of commercial developments, was an approved contractor/property manager for the Resolution Trust Corporation and Calpers. In 1985, the Trillium partnership was an outgrowth of the successful development and brokerage operations. By 1989, this partnership completed a one million square foot mixed-use commercial landmark, The Trillium, in the San Fernando Valley. The Trillium became the home of Transamerica Insurance Group, Care America, Blue Shield, Weyerhaeuser Mortgage Company, Merrill Lynch, Dassault Systems, and American Express. This was such a successful development in Warner Center that it has become the standard by which quality is measured. In recognition of his valuable contributions to his community, Mr. Kravetz was appointed by the City, through former Councilwomen Joy Picus and Laura Chick, to be on the Citizens Advisory Committee to create the Warner Center Specific Plan and the Warner Center Transportation Specific Plan. He was also appointed by Ms. Chick to be president of the "Local Development Corporation" for Warner Center. He is past president of the Warner Center Association. The Warner Center Association represents 19 of the largest employers and landowners in Warner Center, together employing and providing work space for more than 35,000 people in Woodland Hills, California. Mr. Kravetz was previously on the Advisory Council for the Pacific Lodge Youth Services and is currently involved in many other non-profit organizations, including the Melissa Kravetz Memorial Foundation, the Jane Goodall Foundation and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.
