Jack J. Hall, Property Manager

A lifelong resident of Southern California, Jack Hall enjoyed a successful career in manufacturing and wholesaling automotive parts, spanning over thirty-years. In November 2000, Jack teamed with Magdalena Zolezzi to form Western Pacific Development and Construction, Inc. Both Jack and Magdalena had prior knowledge of the real estate industry and they envisioned the possibility of creating “in-fill” projects on formerly raw, undeveloped or underdeveloped land in areas where large tracts of raw land no longer existed. They shared the opinion that by upgrading sections of a community that were in a state of decline they could help invigorate the community itself.

The first area the company concentrated in was the City of El Monte. Over the remainder of 2000 and 2001 they acquired properties and performed the necessary architectural and engineering plans to develop the sites. Jack received his General Contractor’s License and with Magdalena as the Executive Vice President, they formed Royal Crest Construction, Inc. In 2002 they completed DII-Arden, a PUD with 11 units, Del Rey Village, a PUD with 8 units, and Exline Homes, another PUD with 10 units, all within El Monte. These projects were quickly joined by other El Monte projects, such as Algeyer Park, another PUD of 20 units, DII-Ramona, a PUD of 12 units, Ranchito Park, a PUD of 8 units, DII-Lansdale, an 8-unit PUD, and Maxson Villas, a 26-unit PUD, all completed in 2003. The large number of projects in El Monte demonstrates Western Pacific’s active involvement in the communities in which it builds. Jack and Magda are proud of the recognition and awards it has received from civic groups in El Monte, the City of El Monte itself, the California Assembly and the California Senate for the many successful projects that have helped spur new economic life into the City of El Monte.

2003 also saw projects completed in Bloomington (the first phase of Bloomington Estates, 5 homes at 2,600 sq ft each) and in Fontana (DII-Catawba, a 13-unit PUD).

Under Jack’s leadership, Western Pacific Development and Royal Crest Construction have developed a strong reputation in both the San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire by its “customer first” policy, it’s excellent history of delivering profitable projects, providing quality construction delivered on time and within budget.

In 2002, Jack Hall created his own construction company, C. D. & G., Inc. Originally, the company concentrated on demolition work and grading, but soon began remodeling and small-scale construction. Some of the first projects performed by C. D. & G. included a custom residential remodel in Upland in conjunction with subdividing the customer’s rear lot and constructing two new custom homes. Another project was the remodel of an existing restaurant into a 6,500 sq ft office facility for Person Ford in La Verne. In 2004 Jack sold his interests in both Western Pacific Development and Royal Crest Construction to Magdalena Zolezzi, and resigned from his posts of President of both companies.

He formed Western States Development and Construction Inc. on his own this time, to explore other opportunities over a broad area of Southern California. Despite the split from Western Pacific and Royal Crest, Jack maintains close relations with both companies, remaining a member of the Board of Directors of Royal Crest Construction, providing guidance to the young company. Western States and Western Pacific have joint-ventured several projects, including a 31-unit subdivision in Fontana and the six subsequent phases of Bloomington Estates. Western States Development was created by Jack to perform land acquisition, entitlements, subdivisions and property sales. It has done exactly that over the past three years, providing investors with profitable land turnover, development and project construction. As well as the several projects either joint ventured with Western Pacific or jointly constructed with Royal Crest Construction, the company has completed a new home project in Montclair and begun construction of 41 town homes in Victorville. Plans are well underway to begin construction of retail and commercial projects in Victorville as well as 48 new homes in Apple Valley. Additionally, the firm manages and rents out two commercial buildings in Azusa, residential rentals in Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville as well a 10-unit apartment building in Victorville and a 13-unit apartment building in Apple Valley.
