The Orchard Heights complex is part of $800 million in assets under management by Macbeth throughout Southern California.

In addition to apartment management it provides a comprehensive range of services for apartment owners―including contracting, renovation and consulting services―and has served as construction manager for major condominium conversion projects such as the 1,279-unit Metropolitan in Woodland Hills and the 280-unit Pacific Breeze in Oceanside.
