Manny Khoshbin

Manuchehr “Manny” Khoshbin has established a reputation as a resilient entrepreneur and a leader in the commercial real estate industry. As the founder and CEO of The Khoshbin Company, he has devoted decades to uncovering value in distressed markets and guiding his firm through changing economic climates. Known for his sharp timing and hands-on management, Khoshbin transformed personal hardship into lasting success, demonstrating the power of perseverance and innovative strategy. Manny Khoshbin's journey began at the age of 14, when he and his family arrived in the United States as refugees from Iran. With limited financial resources and minimal English skills, he relied on determination and a strong work ethic that he had learned from his parents. By the age of 16, Khoshbin was working at Kmart, and by the age of 18, he launched his first entrepreneurial endeavor, selling nuts door-to-door. Although this venture was short-lived, it ignited a lifelong passion for business. In his early twenties, he ventured into the mortgage and real estate industries. By the age of 23, he opened a supermarket in Santa Ana, channeling the profits into further real estate investments. Khoshbin’s approach has always centered on identifying overlooked properties and recognizing untapped value. His strategic instincts were highlighted in 2007 when he sold over a million square feet of office space just before the market collapse. Today, his holdings span multiple states, focusing on asset repositioning and innovative acquisition strategies that keep pace with post-pandemic trends. As an author, he has written "Contrarian Playbook" and "Driven," sharing insights from his business journey and the lessons that shaped his philosophy. The Khoshbin Company, headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, has grown from a family office to a private investment firm with a national footprint. With more than $1.5 billion in completed transactions, the company’s portfolio includes industrial, retail, and office properties.
