In 1972, Isidore C. Myers and his wife, Penny, chose to move to Southern California from Akron, Ohio. Previously, Isidore was co-founder with his brothers of the publicly traded Myers Industries, a tire and plastics industry giant. Upon leaving Ohio and Myers Industries, Isidore moved to Newport Beach. He was impressed by the quality of life and investment opportunities in Orange County.

In 1973, Isidore purchased his first 40,000 square-foot industrial building in Anaheim. This was followed by additional industrial buildings in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana and La Habra. Steadily, the portfolio grew to include a number of industrial buildings and business parks. In 1980, Isidore developed the award winning Upper Newport Plaza office complex near the John Wayne/Orange County Airport.

For the next 20 years, I.C. Myers Properties, Inc. has developed into a conservative real estate investment portfolio of nearly one million square feet. At the start of 2002, the company was renamed Isidore C. Myers-Joseph A. Erickson Properties, Inc.

Isidore has created extensive management guidelines for every aspect of the business that the company follows in its operations. Currently, the daily operations are being handled by Joe Erickson, President. and Don Davis, Vice President along with an excellent support staff. Our goal is to continue sustainable healthy growth while continuing our very "hands-on" management style.
