STORY

As

many know, Jack Rasor is one of the founding partners of Westcor Development Partners (WDP) and his mentor, Rusty Lyon, retail king and Founder of Westcor Partners, passed down his wisdom and values to Rasor and his WDP Partners. The veteran commercial real estate developer has shared his wealth of knowledge and experiences with a host of mentees over the years, including Brian Frakes.

THE CUTTING EDGE:

JAC K R A S O R & BRIAN FRAKES “Jack is extremely loyal, fair and trustworthy; he has helped so many people in this town. He was very gracious to understand what I wanted to accomplish when leaving WDP and starting Common Bond. He said ‘good luck, have fun, work hard & play hard.’” – BRIAN FRAKES

“Jack has such an amazing history of training people, and I am fortunate to be one of them,” says Frakes, former WDP Partner and now Principal at his own firm, Common Bond Development Company.

Rasor, one of the elder statesman of the industry with 45 years of experience under his belt, is still crafting extraordinary deals across Metro Phoenix and throughout the Southwest. “When I was very young my dad told me to love what you do or to find another career. And, fortunately, I still love what I do.” /// Westcor is at the heart of Rasor’s career trajectory with an impressive roster of projects, which define the Valley. “At Westcor we always tried to stay far ahead of the curve, and we had the opportunity to do that because we had great people executing the deals,” Rasor says. The key to Westcor’s success and its “staying power” was its ability to anticipate and react to growth. “Jack was the deal guy,” Frakes says.
