Ken Turton: How Sacramento’s Premier CRE Firm Was Built from the Ground Up

In this episode, host Bruce Bean sits down with Ken Turton, the founder of Turton Commercial Real Estate, to explore how he carved out a specialized niche in the heart of Sacramento's commercial property market. Ken shares his journey from corporate middle management to becoming a key player in urban redevelopment, starting with leasing Class A properties and eventually shaping Sacramento’s cityscape through innovative ground-up development and adaptive reuse projects.

Ken offers deep insights into how surplus public land is turned into thriving community spaces and reveals how his firm has become the go-to for municipalities across Northern California looking to revitalize their downtowns. The conversation also tackles post-COVID occupancy challenges, the future of experiential urban retail, and the long-term implications of rising interest rates and inflation on commercial real estate.
