Guthrie Development is a small but fast-growing building and real estate investment company. CAM, to be renamed Guthrie Asset Management Co., manages more than $25 million in assets. Both companies are based here in South Orange County.

CAM will be used for property and asset management of all GDC projects, in addition to third-party properties. The acquisition of CAM is part of GDC's growth strategy, as the firm has been buying up multi-tenant industrial parks to generate long-term income.

"This strategy compliments our development activity by providing a stable cash flow and a network of tenants who may become future building buyers," says Rob Guthrie, the founder and president of Guthrie Development.
