Strong Foundation. Shared Values. Unique Vision.
Western Metal Investments is a private family investment office that was formed as the result of a successful business partnership between George Scopetta and James Chao, MD. The business partnership began back in July of 2015 through a chance meeting of 2 like-minded entrepreneurs at a baseball game at Petco Park. George and James were cheering on their respective home teams at Petco that day (Miami and San Diego respectively) sitting in the Western Metal Works building seats at Petco Park, an old, abandoned metal works factory building that was deemed a historical landmark whose building façade was incorporated into the outfield of Petco Park as repurposed skyboxes when the stadium was built in downtown San Diego. After a long conversation during the game about business and the real estate market at the time, James and George founded a real estate company with two value add medical office buildings known as Medicus Property Group as the starting investment. Medicus Property grew quickly thereafter acquiring 350,000 square feet of medical office space in Southern California.
