The
Ayres Family
For nearly a century, the Ayres Family has been a powerful force
in the coming of age of Los Angeles and Southern California,
developing subdivision communities and literally breaking new
ground in the building of more than 30,000 residences to accommodate
buyers eager to have their own homes. Coming from Ohio to California
in 1905, Frank Ayres founded Frank H. Ayres & Son to develop
land throughout L.A. County. Later, Frank and son Don Ayres,
Sr. and then grandson Don Ayres, Jr. met the pent-up housing
demands of post-World War II Los Angeles, eventually earning
a well-deserved reputation as one of the area’s most imaginative
developers. In 1984, the family added hospitality to its core
competencies, and today owns and operates 16 boutique European-style
hotels in Southern California. Joining Don Jr. to carry on the
family legacy are daughter Allyson Ayres, and sons Doug Ayres,
Don Ayres III and Bruce Ayres. Today, the members of the Ayres
Family are actively involved in the evolution and growth of
the business that began almost 100 years ago.
