Patson

About Company

Patson’s main focus is commercial real estate development and investment in the prime urban core locations of San Francisco, Walnut Creek, and the northern San Francisco Peninsula. Much of our product is ground up development and refurbishment and our team has built an impressive track record in this area. Our ability to raise finance and to continually attract investment partners of solid financial standing has been one of the main strengths in Patson’s almost thirty year history. Several of our joint venture partner relationships stem prior to the formation of Patson and they are still active with us today. One such relationship is with London Merchant Securities. This relationship originated in 1982, prior to the formation of Patson in 1984. It has resulted in a series of successful development projects and continues to this day. Another longstanding relationship is with South Holdings Ltd. in Hong Kong, which through its subsidiary Cortina Investments Ltd. purchased one of our office developments in Burlingame. Patson still manages this property after 27 years. In addition we have a joint venture in London with them as described below. Although operating under a successful formula we understand that the world is constantly changing and we are willing to try new things. In 2004 we entered into a joint venture in Strathearn Place in London. This is a residential investment comprising the refurbishment of 7 flats. It is being undertaken with local partners, whom we have known for 40 years, together with South Holdings. In addition we are currently in the process of forming a new vehicle, London Retail Trust, which will invest in retail shop properties in central London. Funding will be raised in London and San Francisco and there will be a local operating partner based in London. Patson Media LLC is a new venture focusing on the virtual equivalent of real estate, internet domain names. It invests in domain names and develops some of them as income producing properties
