In addition, keeping up with new media trends, Bakewell Company has launched www.lasentinel.net and www.wbok1230am.com. Founded in the late 70's by the company's Chairman & CEO Danny J. Bakewell, Sr., Bakewell Company has built its reputation by creating world class development projects in urban and underdeveloped communities throughout California using a qualified and experienced development team that also is representative of the very people who live and ultimately patronize the projects they are developing. Now lead by Danny J. Bakewell Jr., the company's President and COO, Bakewell Company has a full time staff along with a number of part time employees, consultants, and contracted service providers working as part of company's development staff.

Believing in the residents of a community and being committed to giving those residents the resources that are afforded other communities is what puts Bakewell Company in a class all its own.
