The origins of this company date back to 1977 when Phillip Bonham redeveloped the first commercial property.

In 1982 Phillip Bonham became a commercial real estate investment broker with Marcus & Millichap in San Diego. After several years he affiliated with John Burnham & Co. where he continued to work as a commercial real estate investment broker before deciding to form a new commercial real estate management company.

The company was featured in articles in the San Diego Union, Channel 8 TV, and on KSDO radio and Phillip Bonham wrote numerous articles for the Apartment Association's monthly magazine, as well as producing a handbook on how owners and managers can deal with drug and crime problems on their properties. 

Over the years the company has been involved with owning and/or managing over 2,000 multifamily residential units and several retail centers and the non-profit Management Alert Gorup, Ltd. was the recipient of the San Diego Housing Commission's Shelter Award for contributions to the rental housing industry in San Diego.
